The machines the least appealing thing to me. It'd have to be Steam Deck priced to be worth it in my opinion. RDNA3 but less compute units than an RX 7600. Controller looks like a buy. Possibly that VR headset too
Yeah this thing looks way too anemic but the rest of the announcements are great. I hope we eventually get a pro sku when the ai bubble pops and gpu prices return to some semblance of sanity but I know that’s mosty the copium talking.
As someone who hasn't had a desktop in over a decade, this is looking pretty appealing to me.
Even me with a big tower is interested in the Steam Machine. My rig isn't powerful to say the least, but cramming things inside the size of the Steam Machine, from my research, can get expensive fast.
IMO $500 is the highest it should go to still sell well. This is based on a few videos of people building SFF PC with older parts that can do 4K30
If it can play simple indie couch coop games on my TV, then it’s worth it. Can use my normal desktop for everything else.
As an NVIDIA user, I would love an AMD system that supports quick resume like the steam deck. To me, that's the killer feature that Valve has nailed with SteamOS. Raw performance isn't a priority for me given AAA games have been shit compared to Indies the last few years.
The GabeCube has that as well. Tested in Dave2D video.
