The title is a bit misleading, as the article lists diverging analysts’ opinions, ranging from Valve willing to sell at a loss or low margins, to high prices due to RAM and SSD price volatility.

For $1k I think this would be DOA.

Yeah, if it isn't like $600 USD or less, the thing is as toast as the previous generation of Steam Machines.

No way its that close to steam deck prices

You can always just build your own today even.

[-] DarkSideOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Yeah but this is what I mean. Valve buying in bulk would be able to offer a better deal than someone try to build their own…

It's a PC after all, and Valve has access to chipsets the average consumer normally doesn't. I can see me upgrading my current rig with this if it competes with traditional PCs
