      I don’t see that being the case, it’s relatively low end silicon, with meh levels of RAM and very poor levels of VRAM.

      Seems to me like they’re targeting a lower price point, which I think is a good idea if they want to take market share from Microsoft.

        Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for lower end system, something I could by for my kids. But given the price of other consoles, I’m a bit nervous about the final price, hence I mentally prepare myself for 1k USD so I can be (hopefully) pleasantly surprised.

        Yeah, I was very surprised to see the only upgrade is a generous storage from 512 GiB to 2 TiB… I would rather build my own PC, spend a little extra, cover other needs I have (zfs pool for videos), and get a good GPU that I can always replace for a newer one in a few years… But of course, that’s just me. That new GPU could easily cost as much as the Steam Machine itself, hehe. Of course, it would be way more powerful…
