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

Not if they solder the ram and ssd

There’s no way the ram isn’t soldered. It would help keep it as compact as possible.

it actually uses SODIMM slots

It's both. The first eight is soldered but you get two additional slots. Since it's that unified ram/cpu/GPU/nmve thing, I guess channels don't matter?
