$team Machine
The Verge review of the Steam Machine covers it. Like I said last year, anything above $1000 feels less compelling and more of a reference implementation for SteamOS.
At $1049 with only 512 GB internal storage, no controller, and decent but not amazing specs… I think this now just isn’t for me. I was dreaming of something that was probably impossible to deliver even before the AI rush consumed all the capacity and substantially increased their component prices. I aspire to play more but I’m not putting in the time in for big games to justify.
Also, as my home M1 iMac is getting a bit long in the tooth (with only 8 GB of RAM), and I’m having to offload more media storage to my Synology, I’m starting to think I might be better served putting money towards a headless Mac mini I can use for a lot of virtualized but not necessarily top of the line gaming. I’d wait for the next refresh though.
