did anyone get one?kind of want to know if im screwed
>>109134505no still waiting.
>no usb-c on FPIO no, we won't be buying it.
just sell it if you manage to get early delivery
>>109134505Im not retarded so I didnt get one
>>109134505They should have sold it at loss, like console companies do, $750 like they first planned. You can't compete otherwise.
>>109134505Yeah, I went for a preorder but no email yet.I figure everything is probably going to get worse before it gets better. I'd rather have a frame to be honest, but whatever.
>>109134505You think they base the “lotto” on how many hours you’ve played games? I’ve played none and plan to sell mine
>>109134958valve would have to generate about $1000 more revenue per box via game sales just to move product they don't make money on. 100,000 units means an extra $100,000,000 of sales just to break even. so no. lol.
>>109134958maybe they do that later, why would they care if it sells
>>109134958>They should have sold it at loss, like console companies doBecause it's not a console. Valve needs to insure that people won't buy it for a cheap office/work pc. If they sold at a loss there would be companies buying thousands of units at a time, installing windows on them, and sticking them in their companies office cubicles.
>>109134762>$30 shipping>5% sales tax>13% ebay chargeI don't think even the most desperate of zoomies will pay $1500 leaving you with a whopping $200 in profit.
>>109134505I put my hat in the ring but I’m not sure if I’m actually going to buy one>>109134737oddly enough the one USB-C thing I’d plug into mine is my keyboard, so USB-C on the back is what I’d want>>109136185this
It's trash I'm just going to resell mine to dumb retards and buy something else
>>109134958Nintendo doesn't sell their consoles at a loss. That's why they always have shit hardware.
>>109137969and because everyone else sells their shit at a loss, is why we have what is effectively a prebuilt computer so locked down.
I wouldn't buy that apebox nigger toy ever.
>>109134505what are you worried about? That you bought an underpowered pc at a premium? Why would you worry about that, worry about gaben not being able to buy another yacht.
>>109134958>They should have sold it at a loss so third world dirt farmers like me could afford it!!!Get fucked, retard. They'll still sell every single one they can manufacture and (You) can make do with your favela build.
>>109134505i will get the controller someday, i want Steam Frame and the Steam controller is fully trackable in VR space....
>>109134505I'm thinking of installing windows with dual boot on that thing. In order to use it as a regular desktop.
>>109134958>You can't compete otherwise.compete with what, motherfucker? you think valve is hurting for cash? this is just another step in their journey to free themselves from windows. and it's workingnot to mention they're going to sell out anyway
>>109134505anyone actually compared Steam Machine vs some chinky miniPC from aliexpress with similar hardware? i wonder if the chinks can do it cheaper, or valve really pushed the price that they have not much margin on it
>>109134737interesting callout because I've found myself using USB-C more these days as well. A lot of cars I'm in still use USB-A and it's gotten to the point I had to buy dongles for everything. Curious that the Steam Machine doesn't have one on its front.
>>109139002https://store.minisforum.com/en-ca/products/minisforum-um750l-slim-mini-pc?srsltid=AfmBOoru0z5MsmRtTgT2h4LRlaB6dTQP_Fkcx3qqIMuZqR-T66vqJPlTWell here is one with the same cpu, its just the 7600m thats missing. Also this shit is expensive for what it is jesus.
>>109139029>retardposting tracking links.There's a few 7600mxt's on ebay as egpus for around $400. Could probably do better with an aostar dock and some $200 card.Even then the form factor is unmatched. I still don't understand why Gabe didn't just put a thunderbolt port or occulink on it.
>>109139586in order to figure this out I’d have to see how many PCI lanes are taken up alreadymaybe there aren’t any left over for upgrading the C port to proper Thunderbolt 4 or 5
>>109135239It's supposed to be random.
>>109134737Considering whether your polycule should pool the money?
>>109134505I hit paydirt! Off to eBay it will go!!
>>109134505Portable PC gaming actually a pretty cool idea so worth it
>imagine buying one of these when you could just install steamOS on your PC or even just fucking game on a normal linux install even if you dont want to install steam faugus launcher will do the same thing for games you already have ior get some other way like GOG
>Steam account since 2009>just a few games alone have over 10 000 play hours, combined total of 50 000 for all games>bought a lot of games>The CCCP still decided that i am not worth it.
>>109141197>Proudly sucks Gabe's cock for nearly 20 years>Proudly tongues the head of his cock, fondles his balls and fingers his asshole begging for more>Proudly wants to buy an overpriced piece of shit weaker than 6 year old consoles for 3 times the price because it has Lord Gaben's logo on it and he's too stupid to know he can spend $700 and get a PC stronger and more better than that could ever be.>Gets mad when he can't buy it, will continue to suck Gabe's fat cockYou deserve it
>>109141241i have already written a longer post than yours on why it is worth it for me, in my region, for the games i play. i will not even argue much about it anymore. it was/is a good deal for a select few people who live in a shitty region and play 20 years old games regardless.
>>109141250>20 year old gamesThen you have even less of an excuse.
>>109141268i also made another 2000 words post on why i simply do not care about 4chan criticism. at this point i am too lazy to even go and search for it. i just assume that your attacks come from a place of revenge for my past behavior and i move on. it does not mean that i will not shit on you in the future, i just do not have the energy to do it now.
>>109141278All I'm saying is you don't need a $1100+ machine to play old games. Your phone can probably run that shit. Get an android emulation machine and plug it into the TV.
>>109141290now i will admit that Valve fuck this up real big with the limited supply - this is probably the only real criticism that works here. overally valve does not deserve anyone to bootlick them and they fucked a lot of shit up this year. but, the steam mashie is still worth it for some people. but it also is still worth it if they sell it soon. a day may come when i just go and sign up to buy the controller and things have moved in a way where i have no interest in the steam machine itself as if the prices of components drop it will be useless.
>>109141197that's quite unlucky
>people unironically buying this overpriced shit
don't buy the goy machine, retards.
STEAMSISSTERS DONT LOOK
>>109134505I looked at some cpu benchmarks, it's disappointing. I expected it to match a zen 3 desktop cpu
What I don't understand is that Valve says it's better than like 70% of the Steam Hardware Survey computers, but the thing is basically a 2023 midrange gaming laptop. What kind of toasters are 70% of the Steam Hardware Survey running?
>>109141842>french
>>109141952do you expect steam users to have a lot of money left for decent hardware after financing all of gabe's super yachts?
>>109134505> did you get one?No, I have a desktop computer.>kind of want to know if I'm screwedwhat do you mean by this? you are getting ps5-ish performance for twice the price. I >gets screwed hardersoldered on memory soldered storage (although I think it has an additional m.2 slot)soldered wlan>is it good for the priceno, unless space is important just build your own pc .
>>109142093>soldered on memory >soldered storage
does it come with a free pink gaming chair?
Do most people reserving the 512GB model happen to have a 1TB+ SSD just laying around that they can salvage from an old laptop or something, because being restricted to just 512GB given the size of games in [current year] seems really limiting.
whats up with zoomers now? they used to be able to build pcs and now they go to prebuilts, iphones, macbooks like wtf???????????????????????????????
>>109134958>Sell it at a loss>Scalpers buy it and either strip the parts out and sell them individually, or resell it at a higher price
On the reservation list, still on the fence. But being on the list isn't a commitment, so whatever. I have a feeling in the next couple of months the Steam machine will look a lot more reasonable, assuming the whole AI thing does not spontaneously unravel.
>>109142414from Aliexpress you can get a HDD for gaming with 7200 RPM and 2 TB and a case of its own for like 100 euro, give or take. ok, more like 120 euro but with coupons it is close to 100 euro.
I was cucked. I hope I get the Frame 1TB, that's what I actually care about.
>>109134958Unfortunately they cant do that with a general purpose computer. Scalpers would buy all of them and use them for AI/crypto mining/whatever. Valve has stated that.
>>109142432Could sell it at loss but you have to pay full price but you get the extra you pay back as Steam credit to buy games to play on your SteamMachine™
>>109142414It's cheaper to buy the 512GB model and a budget 2TB M.2 2280 SSD from Amazon than it is to buy the 2TB model which has a premium for the 2230 form factor baked in.
