The no1 reason to self-build is to save money. Obviously, this thing isn’t going to appeal to that crowd. For a pre-built, this price isn’t crazy. And the performance is fine for 1080p/1440p gaming.
So if you’re the kind of person who knows the GPU nomenclature by heart, you probably won’t buy this, but I still expect the thing to sell-out by virtue of being Valve.
I’m rooting for Valve’s success because that means wider Linux adoption.
Not a supprise. Also it’s just a pc. You aren’t lock in their ecosystem. You don’t have to use steamos. I like it a lot.
I like that the more expensive options just give you more storage and bundled in stuff, so you can just pick the cheapest option and upgrade yourself later on.
A bare bones version without RAM and storage would’ve been interesting price-wise for people who happen to have parts lying around IMO.
yes but if you can DIY then that beats the purpose of console like PC which you can just plug in… at that point only the form factor may appeal to you but at the same time you’re unlikely to DIY with this kind of form factor for less
Fair, but if you want a Steam Machine than it would be a nice way of maybe saving a couple of hundred dollars initially.
so the 2TB version with controller will be about CA$2000+tx so CA$2300, just wow, no one will buy this in Canada.
Without a controller. With 512GB of storage. Older hardware that performs worse than a PS5 Pro.
Can you use your PS5 as a general OS if you want? Do you have as large of a library as you do on steam?
Actually, you can. Someone figured out how to do it.
Fact is, there are better used gaming rigs and new mini-PCs for less money.
This is just a way to fleece Gabe’s fanbois.
Wow a box
Eh, 2.95 Monero. Could be worse i guess.
Not something I would buy though, since I don’t play video games.
You mean 2.6 Monero?..no, 3.2…no 2.1…
That’s 10,176 Dogecoin. No, 100,254. No, 274,778.
I used the 1 year SMA so i meant what i said
