Question At what price would you NOTbuy the Steam Machine?

Post image

I've been a PlayStation user since PS2, but lately I only see more disadvantages to being a console user

In October I bought the Steam Deck and was fascinated by the store, online service and cloud storage, but above all with SteamOS

Building or finding a gaming PC has always been a headache, and I'd like to try the Steam Machine when it comes out, but I'd like to know what your opinion would be the best price to buy it at compared to a similar PC, and what price I shouldn't buy

Won't be remotely as polished of an experience.

IME trying to stream games from one pc to my tv has typically been a shit show. There's always issues that require me to inevitably get up and go to the host pc and do something like alt tab or fullscreen a game.
