Comment on Are you ready for a $1,000 Steam Machine? Some analysts think you should be.
Alaknar@sopuli.xyz 4 weeks agothe fact that it still includes USB-A ports
Majority of peripherals still use USB-A.
Anything under 12GB is a major problem in 2025.
That’s hilarious considering the GabeCube’s config is based off of the most common hardware config according to Steam data. If I remember right, it’s slightly better than that common config.
It’s not a device for 4k/144Hz gaming.
It’s even worse if you want to make a smaller ITX build. How does less material and complexity translate to higher costs?
More difficult manufacturing process, and lower overall sales (which means higher per-unit production costs).
So right now, we’re discussing Steam Decks with some third party docks and accessories so they can be used like a PC. I can’t find anything better.
Unless you’re full-on anti-Windows, look into the ROG Ally. A friend of mine got one and is super happy with it.

Someone should tell Valve that then, cause they’re advertising it as 4K60, which it has no hope of hitting.

Umm… Do you not understand the difference between “144” and “60”?

Do you not understand what I said?
They’re calling it a 4K60 machine and it has no hope of doing that either.

We’ll see what the benchmarks show.
