You can already get a decent generic brand mini gaming PC for like $380 with a Ryzen 7 7840HS, which has a 780M that is twice as powerful as the Steam Deck’s GPU and a significantly faster CPU. I have my doubts that Valve can pull off making a mini PC 2x as powerful as that for like $500. I’m guessing it’ll probably be more like $700-$800.

I like the idea of the Steam Machine, but it won’t be worth it to me at that price for a HTPC and PC games I’d be playing on the couch. A cheaper mini PC sounds like a better fit.

Steam machines are not aimed toward pc gamers... they are aimed to convert console peasants.

honestly. I'm still impressed by my 2020 laptop that was around 700£ with a 3060.

yhea, the keys are falling out and the battery barely holds charge, but as a gaming pc? it can play everything at "good enough" levels. I'm satisfied with CP2077. feels like there's a lot of diminishing returns past that price point.
