The Steam Machine is the new Commodore 64 or Apple IIe. For one price, it's going to do almost everything just good enough.

If the price isn't ludicrous, it will likely be my default recommendation to anyone asking what PC to get for grandma.

Can she check her email?

Yes.

Can we just hook it to her TV?

Yes.

Can it play some kind of cooking simulation party game with the kids?

Yes.

Okay send me a parts list.

No parts list, just buy one and hook it up.

Okay. How often do I have to buy an OS upgrade?

Those are free.

Which game controllers work with it?

Pretty much all of them, but it probably also comes with one.

This is going to be the stupidly easy answer for casual gamers and casual PC users, as long as it doesn't cost double what either of those would.

Ngl price part mainly depends on how much chatbot girlfriend technology is hoarding up everything.

Hopefully it all will crash by then.
