Indeed I do. It's actually funny you say "these days," given that I actually have a 1TB USB HDD sitting on top of my desktop right now, and it's one I've had pretty much for ages. You want to know why I still use it, despite it being from back when I myself was on a laptop? Because despite having about 5.5TB of internal storage across a few drives, and having a 4TB NAS for backups and multimedia, there's an ever present need for more storage, and I already fucking hate having to have just the one external HDD sitting comfortably on top of my desktop.

The idea of a fukken rats nest of USB HDDs sitting alongside a Gabecube is just incredibly funny to me, but something I wouldn't wish on anyone.

I can't speak for EVERY single device you could theoretically plug into a steam deck, but a family member bought me a third party dock off amazon and after using it like, twice? The charger that came with my Steam Deck stopped working.
At best I'd say your mileage may vary.
Official dock so far hasn't given any issues.

And performance is dogshit. You lose way more frames as you don't have FP8, int8 fsr4 is just crap especially on underpowered downclocked hardware like steam machine.Valve will never enable it officially as gamers would be complaining about sub 30-40 fps drops in AAA games.

15% rasterization and 1.8 times raytracing performance.
The PS5 wouldn’t be able to match the Steam Machine’s performance in any UE5 title, even if it had 64 RDNA 2 CUs.

Casual. You just don't know how many good games there are out there. Everyone thinks they're nice and cozy when everything is measured in megabytes and you can sometimes store scores of them within a single GB, but that shit adds up quick, especially with any extra files and mods, and in the end it's only the casuals with a limited frame of reference who think their libraries can fit in a paltry 512GB, or the people who, EURHGURUHRG, say they'll DELETE their games and """GET BACK""" to them later that are fine with limited storage.

Even aside from the fact that I have games that are collections of games like the genesis collection, just on my steam installs alone I've got 65 games, and over in Retroarch I've got 87 games indexed.
That's already 152 games and I've STILL been too lazy to figure out converting the eboots off my Vita back into a format Retroarch likes, or ripping the games off my 3ds, or games from my Steam Library I just haven't bothered installing just yet.

That's not a lot just few emulator rom folders will take way over your tiny 512gb ssd. And then you will have no space for your old pc games, indies and also AA/AAA games. 2tb is the bare minimum you would want to have.

Launch Day 64gb with a 256gb drive.
I don't know if the 64gb would have been fine I planned on it since at the time I found a 256gb drive for cheaper than it would have been to pay for the 256gb one.
So far 256gb internal with a 512gb microsd has been fine, really the only big fuckin gaem that's been a "problem" had been CS:2 and kind of sort of TF2.
I had KH 1.5 + 2.5 installed, but I stream that from my desktop usually now.

I figure $699 or $799 so it’s higher than the base consoles while offering more freedom being a pc. It’s not going to be competitive with those who subsidize but it’s about where you want to play and what you are willing to sacrifice.

It's for undecided scared pussies that are also too lazy to browse through prebuilt pcs catalogue. It will fail to sell more than a one million i can guarantee that, especially with that over excessive price. Once normies will hear truth that "it's weaker than ps5 and also more expensive" it will be DOA. And i just hope it fails as Valve's greed should be stopped by a punch against their jewish face even if it's their first attempt to become like Nintendo.

If it costs 800-900usd, Unironically you're better off getting a laptop because the camera, keyboard, mic and screen come as full package.

Why people is thinking than the new PS6 will cost less than 800$?
