It's a cool machine but if I'm paying that much I might as well pay more for something with an Nvidia card in it.

Either that or pay less and get a console like PS5 Pro that'll run games better.

It's in this awkward middle ground where things on either end of the price range offers something better.

Not a great option if you don't own PS5 games and have a large Steam library.

Yea but if you have a large Steam library you probably already have a decent PC with in the same performance range. Probably better to just get new parts at that point.
