>you can upgrade storage and ramit's over snoys
>can't upgrade vram.better just to get a next gen xbox.
>competing with entry level PCs and not consolesthat'll be $899 + tip please and thank you sir :D
>>725823941
>>725823941If this thing costs more than 600$ it will flop
>>725823846>can't upgrade vramMight be possible to use an e-gpu if it can do thunderbolt 4
>>725824101it cannot
>>725823846Lmao if you think the next Xbox will have more than 8gb of vram
>>725824036>>725823941it's gonna cost 300-500
>>725824231No it isn't.$500 is the absolute minumum based on the cost of the parts (+margins)
>>725824231imagine being this delusional valve themselves said it's competing with entry-level PCs and not consoles cost wise and in 2026 that's like $700-800 bare minimum. i literally don't know who the target audience for the gabecube is outside of retards with too much money and not enough sense
>>725823771>buy an overpriced cube pc for $500>have to upgrade the RAM for another $500
>>725824231Valve told Linus it will be priced more like a PC than a console.
>>725823846>xboxIs deader than dead, because they don't have the Steam user base (Valve's strongest asset). Besides, SteamOS is the big deal, not the Steam Machine. Steam Machine is just for normies who don't know shit about building PCs or installing Linux. And you can be sure there will be other vendors offering their own bulkier "Steam Machines" with SteamOS preinstalled.
>>725825176>windows doesn't have the Steam user baselmao
>>725825214it's about Valve becoming independent from Windows
>>725824231>it's gonna cost 300-500top kek
>>725825393as long as proton needs to exist, steam will forever be dependent from windows
>>725824231The sad thing is it would basically need to be 300 to be competitive, but i guarantee it will be twice that or more, at least until they need to get all the unsold units out of the warehouse
>>725825883In what universe? PS5s are 500$ if you can get one. Nintendo switch which is leaning more towards steam deck than this is 400$+. What would it be competing with at 300$? 2 gens ago?
>>725824221>next xboxanon...
>>725823771Wait, it doesn't have an APU with unified ram, the only thing where consoles have an advantage over PC? AHAHAHAHA
>>725824221even series x has more than that because it uses shared ram
>>725826379Ah yes, everyone I know talks about APU with unified ram when they are buying consoles. Its honestly the one thing that tipped console owners towards consoles in the last gen. Yeah, the APU with unified ram everyone cares deeply about.
>>725823771>>725823846ESL Xbox cuck panicking
>>725826514>Ah yes, everyone I know talks about RAM with optional ram when they are buying consoles. Its honestly the one thing that tipped console owners towards consoles in the last gen. Yeah, the optional RAM everyone cares deeply about.
>>725826558I don't get this trend of calling correct english "esl". have americans become too mexican?
>>725823771so if i'm reading things correctly>will most likely cost at least $800 with the only things upgradable being the laptop ram and storage>performance will at best be half-decent for 1080p screens at most>the FSR it uses is already outdated>and you can't even hook up an external GPU to upgrade it that wayguys am I crazy or is there literally no way the steam machine is going to be anything other than a DOA flop? it sounds like it's going to really fucking suck
It will probably be more expensive in the states with all this tariff
why are tendies falseflagging this hard?
>>725823771It's easy enough to upgrade a PC, not so much to take this thing apart and upgrade the RAM.
>>725824330Volvo can afford not to care too much about profit margins on HWIf they manage to slip into living rooms they'll tap into new streams of revenue by getting the casual consoomers into the ecosystem
>>725827691They literally stated they will not price it low and offset the costs with game sales. It is not a console nor is it competing in that market; it will be priced like a PC. That's not speculative, that's straight from Valve's mouth.
>>725823771saddest thing i've seen pcvalvejeets do is seethe in impotent rage as they desperately try to compete with the console market every day despite claiming their pcs are better than such toyspoop deck flopped, this one's also gonna be a flopturd worlders, who are the primary audience for steam and pcs, won't spend anything above $500 on this thing
Just affordable enough for Brazilians so they can continue to play DOTA 2 and waste people with 62 minute games and never team fight or try to push barracks while the team is behind.
>>725829870>800 usd>affordable enough for Brazilians
>>725830117>believing the liesKek. Why would they release a cheap pc that’s more expensive than a console if it can only play basic shit? Oh I forgot the CCP actively shills here
>>725830542NTA but my estimate is $700 and it comes with a controller which sells for $90 on it's ownthey released the steam deck and it's 6x weaker for $400
>>725830542>Why would they release a cheap pc that’s more expensive than a console if it can only play basic shitbecause you retards are gonna buy it
>>725823771>have 5 years out of date gaming PC>upgrade RAM>have 5 years out of date gaming PC but with more RAMWhy does Linus have so many earrings?
>>725826608>buying consolesNot consoles, a PC. And yes, it was literally what convinced me not to buy an apple. I wanted to be able to upgrade as the hardware got older.
if it's under 700bux I'll buy it for my kid
>>725830542>Why would they release a cheap pc that’s more expensive than a console Because all PCs are more expensive than consoles, consoles sell at a loss because you're forced to buy software from them. This doesn't happen with PCs.> if it can only play basic shitIt's literally more powerful than PS5.
>>725824231>>725824231everything is pointing to $899
>>725832757No? A PC with those specs is $750.
>>725823771People buying this thing don't want to have to open it up and fuck around with internals.
>>725832881The storage is on the bottom specifically so you don't have to open it up.
>>725832971Are you talking about the micro SD slot or do you actually get access to the M.2 drive (I assume it uses this).
>>725833030m.2 at the bottom if you flip it 90 degreesrest of the components are soldered on though
>>725823771still using a laptop cpu and gpu. its still shit
>>725833106Cool. But that would also involve installing SteamOS yourself would it not? I doubt normalfags want to do that.
>>725824231anon it's not 2015 anymore
>>725824231that is only enough for the RAM and a mousepad at current prices lol
