Let's be honest, we're all still buying this.
>>741656115I'm not. I already got the controller.
>>741656115>WeTalk for yourself retard, I didn't even buy the deck.
Already have 9600x / 32gb / 4060I'm more than fine.
>>741656115I'm still wondering if any of the pieces can be upgraded
nah fuck off, this is insulting
>>741656115Why would anyone buy this? It's outdated hardware. You could buy something better for the same price.
>>741656115Nobody is buying this except consoletards who want to play PC games but don't know how to use a PC.
Ima just buy a Apple TV/Fire Stick and download the app that lets me stream to my pc
>>741656320only the RAM and storage (it uses laptop SODIMM memory)>>741656363I have no fucking clue either. Gotta be a product exclusively for fanboys at this point.>overpriced>mostly non-upgradeable>abysmal performance
>>741656115even a switch is more affordable than this junk
>>741656115I'd like to, but I have a family. Diapers don't pay for themselves.
>>741656115Price is too high. I love my Deck OLED and my Controller, but I don't think the Machine is offering enough power for the price point. Plus, I already have a desktop so it's not like it does something particularly unique for myself. I have a dock I can use if I want to play something on the TV with a Valve device anyways.
>>741656462>Only the two pieces that are the most expensiveGabe is trolling, he has to be
>>741656115Who is we niggerI have a 4k PC lmao, I aint buying a 5 year old low range PC
>>741656115No?I already have a good desktop and even if I didn't, I would never buy a prebuilt piece of shit, and even if I did, I would not buy a low end machine for 1400$ LUL
>>741656363If you're interested in switching from console to PC but you're too lazy to learn about PC parts, too lazy to build a PC, and so fucking lazy that you want other ppl with the same PC to tell you what graphics settings to use, it's perfect.
>>741656236Its "Speak for yourself" learn how to white man Rahesh
>$1,400 for an entry-level PC with 8 GB VRAM?HELL NO!
>>741656115The hell I am, I have a computer with better components, what would I ever need this for?
>>741656115I feel like I’m being serviced in real time reading the reviews and cope on the Schadenfreude Machine. This is nice.
>All these brown turd worlders seethingKEKLuckily I’m white and not poor so I will get the most “expensive” one
>>741656115Unironically I am ordering a switch 2 instead. Steam Machine just makes no sense when I already have a 4080 PC with a rog ally xbox X.
>>741657101Welcome aboard! What free game you getting?
>>741657040You can build a PS5 Pro killer PC for less than the price of the Steam Machine
There is no point.>9800x3d + 32GB ram + 9070 XT>PS5>Switch 2
>>741656115>we're
reminder that anyone calling you poor and saying they're going to buy 5 live at home with their parents.
>>741656115>tendies desperate to create steam cultists out of nowhereEven steam deck apologists straight up admitted that the rog ally was a better alternative after the price hike. The only faggots defending this shit are you false flaggers
I would grab it if it was $750 like it was supposed to be. There's no justification for it being $1000+.
>>741656115Probably yeah. considering how fucked PC prices are now...this is actually almost a deal
>>741657154Probably Pokopia. Not sure how much I'll play it though. Mainly holding out for OoT remake and Fortune's Weave.
>>741656115No, I'm not. Lol.Talk to me when it isn't more expensive than a gaming laptop with worse performance than running Bazzite >Have 2 steam decks>Will buy the controller when it's on sale>Have interest in the new VR headset but if this price trend continues am gonna say no to that.Lol.
>>741656115What did they mean by this?
why do Gabecucks keep falling for this shit?
>>741656115I wanted it because it looks cool but there's no way I am buying it when I got a PC with 3060 built for 250€ less than what this costs today, can't justify it
>>741657208Why would I buy a nigger machine? I already told you I’m white
>>741656462>laptop SODIMM memory
>>741657494Dude the laptop my wife got me for xmas last year was 1000 USD.Its now 1800 and some change.this is actually a well priced product now. Thanks AI.Remember they are not data centers, they are SURVEILANCE CENTERS
>>741656734>too lazy to build a PCtheres literally companies that build one for you and it still ends up cheaper
No I'm not, I'm waiting for the Steam Frame.
>>741656319>Got a 9900x RYZEN, 32gb ram, 5080 MSI pre build cause it was on sale for $2k at Costco and I thought the value was pretty good for a holiday gift to myself.>Only $500 more than a Steam machine with an equally sized SSD>Old 3070 RTX with i7 is in my living room>Both run Bazzite which runs better than steam OSI don't think the console plebs understand we don't even take getting screwed from Lord GabeN himself. Lol.
>>741656115just waiting for the new firmware to drop so i can uninstall the steam deck's OS on my already superior steam machine and run the Valve's steam machine firmware instead.
>>741657914have you seen the benchmarks for this thing? the hardware is pretty ass and you are stuck with FSR, which is heavily required if you want to play anything modern. gamers nexus put together a computer for cheaper in their recent video that will give comparable performance along with the ability to upgrade. This thing is only nice for the novelty due to how small it is. It should not be anybody's main pc to game on and you are fucked out of any upgrades with it since you are stuck with the cpu and gpu.
>>741657927someone like a girl is not going to look up and find out what GPU and CPU ("wtf do these computer things mean??") gives the best price to performance in her budget. These people are not going to learn about bottlenecking, CPU/Mobo compatibility, RAM speeds, PSUs, etc.They want to go to the store and buy the thing and play the game. That's who will buy this.
>>741656115I already got a 5060ti 16gb, 32gb, 2tb prebuilt for 900 at Christmas, cheaper than the base cubeGet fucked steamshill
>>741656115I already have a pc, an 'eck, and a switch 2. I do not need this thing.
>>741656115The chances of you having an actually good reason to buy this are extremely low, given all the possibilities that you can go for. It's basically just a Valve fanboy machine at this point. Skip the wait and get your own and install Steam OS, instead of dealing with the hurdle of obtaining an official Gabecube.
>>741656115Obviously?Gaben has given so much to us, it's time to give something back.
>>741656115I was waiting for it but, noI'm just gonna get the controller, maybeI'm sure it's a good machine but yeah nah, not at that price
>>741656334This. Especially if you already own a PC (and if you don't, lmaoing @ur life) the steam machine would be throwing money away for some steaming (heh) pile of shite.
>>741658064Would you please explain more about your post? I don't understand.
>>741656115Have you ever considered just buying a gaming laptop with the Steam controller? You can even install Linux on it or just run Steam on the big screen mode. Or if you don't like laptops, how about a mini-PC? It's not like Valve invented them with this thing.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crxxR62b5Tchttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jj94IPaM_JYhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUTKy4jFP8Y
>>741656115You'd need to be a complete moron to spend money on this, it's trivial to build a more powerful PC for the same price. My fucking 5 year old PC already outclasses this shit.Valve drones are the only ones that are going to fall for it, same as usual.
Why the fuck would I buy this if I already have a PC?I could literally get a meme lenovo gaming laptop with better specs for the same price.
i'm not letting trump's ai apocalypse ruin this for me, tendies can run all the misinfo they want but anyone in the know understands what huge value this thing is
>>741656115Only if you are a richfag that wants one for the novelty or collection reasons. If you have a moderately capable PC there's absolute 0 reason you should buy this. You can buy a secondhand PS5/XBOX/NS2 and some thinkpad and you would save a lot of money.
Who's "we" fag, you got a turd in your pocket?
>>741656115I'm not
>>741656115Absolutely not>>741656435Console tards aren't currently going to spend $1,050+ on something that won't play GTA 6 this November.
>>741656115I'm mad because I never have lottery luck. I'll buy this day 1 if they let me
>>741656115https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cF6eAM3jhCY You guys made it seem like it was shit but it's running games good in this ETA Prime video????
>>741666087>stuttering like crazy in the first seconds of the video on Forza Horizon 6>running games goodYou should buy one, you're retarded enough to be the target audience for this thing.
>>741665449Elaborate
>>741656734Buy a prebuilt and use big picture mode. Try the low, medium, high, and ultra presets on a game until you get 60fps. Wait until 2027 to receive your steam controller or decide you don't need trackpads and buy a gamesir or something. Give me the several hundred dollars you saved.

>>741656115i've got a 4090 and a 'eck nigga i'm set
>>741656115I genuinely don’t see who would buy one. Isn’t the point of PC that all of my games are on my computer that I use for everything else? If I’m going to buy a console I’ll buy a console.
>>741667016Your izzat has caused gabe's yacht to develop a list and the scotch glasses slide with condensation. I hope you are happy you ungrateful piece of shit.
>>741656115I can just plug my laptop to the TV so I don't know what's the point of this shit.
>>741667016U third world faggots love lying with every breath. a 4080 super is 1000 without tax. dumbass
>>741656115i've got an ryzen 5 2600, 32gb of ram and an rx570, should i buy this or just upgrade my parts to a new pc since my case is fucked up
>>741667902You could upgrade to a 5800x3d thats releasing (again) this week without having to replace your motherboard. Also could just swap gpu for something newer and you have a system that will last another 10 years.Or you could buy this.
No Gaben.
Building a computet with a 9070xt. What processor should I get?
I don't understand what niche this is supposed to fill.I doubt this is easier to use than a prebuilt.
>>741667784it was $1050 even at best buy when i bought it. gone up like 50% in the last 6 months.the motherboard, ram, cpu and power supply were a combo deal at miocro center for fuckin $450, insane deal. The case was $80, 2 TB ssd was from an unused pc i yoinked it. So I did lie, total was $1580
>>741656115why would you ever buy thispoorfags would be better off just getting used deck or something
>>741656236and yet you're here and all deck threads shitting on it, pajeet
Would this have made more sense before the rampocalypse?I feel like other equivalent machines would have just been comparatively cheaper too.
>>741668043got any decent case recommendations?
>>741668679no, that would've pulled it back $200-$300. PS5 was still better. You could have a completely upgradeable prebuilt or custom PC.
>>741656115Price is too high for consolefags which defeats the whole purpose of playing on console and PCfags have no reason to buy it, what a waste of time and money
>>741668193The "Gaben sells shitty hardware at a huge markup and pretends he's doing you a favor" niche.
>>741668887If you wanted to blueball people receptive to buying a PC and ensure they don't buy anything over the holiday season before ram and SSD prices exploded, the steam machine was perfect. They even kept it going for 6 months in 2026 by never revealing the price or release date. Gabe literally shot PC gaming in the foot.
>>741669040And nothing of value was lost.
>>741656115Maybe next year. My gaming laptop has a 5070ti, runs laps around this Steam Machine for only $200 more.I like the aesthetics of the cube though, literally the main appeal for me.
>>741656115No. I already have a 5070 PC that I got for cheap and I can play what I want at raster 60fps.The Steam Cube can't do that even with FSR.
I'll buy the Gabecube once I get my controller still in reserve..
>>741668887This was never designed to convert consolefags. Who in their right mind would jump through the hoops Valve imposes to buy dogshit hardware at a massive markup instead of simply going to Best Buy or some other store and picking a random prebuilt?This was always designed to milk the cultists dry, it's business as usual.
>>741656236Many such cases. Steamdeck is very niche.Personally, I bought a Legion Go
>>741656115I'll maybe get the controller at some point, but I already have a PC... from 2019... that's more powerful than this. I would be downgrading and giving myself a worse experience if I played something on the Steam Machine instead
>>741656462Where is video of it performing
Let's be honest, I'm gay and so are you.
>>741656115>Let's be honest, we're all still buying this.lollmao
>>741656115Dude, it's still infinite times more value than a ps5. I'm getting this asap
>>741656115I shan't be buying Steam Machine.I shan't be buying Switch 2.I shan't be buying PS5.I shan't be buying Xbox Series X/S.
>>741674095It's actually weaker than a ps5 while more expensive. and doesn't come with a controller.If you're getting this, it's not for the value.
>>741656115novalve faggots are no different than apple worshippersover priced shit. Dumb consumerism
>>741674225What they mean is theoretically you can pirate infinite PC games and play everything for free on it.Though you actually can sort of do that on PS5 too. Running Linux and emulators on it became possible within the last few months
>>741674225It has cheaper games, free online, I can just plug in my mouse and keyboard and my good old 8bitdo controller and call it a day, 6 months of using a ps5 would already cost me about 2-3x more than getting a steam machine
>>741656115What? Why would anyone buy this?
>>741674402If you're doing all that, why not just use an actual PC? You're just paying for the brand here at that point like Apple fans
>>741656115>We
>>741656115I don't get it. If you are a PCfag/Valvefag you probably already have a strong PC. Why would you even buy this weaker and more expensive hardware?
>>741656115this price of one of these is all of /v/s collective purchasing power
>>741674516Valve is the only company in the world that treats its customers with respect, I feel it's fair enough to reward them for that, they've given me so much all throughout the years, with great deals and great customer service, they deserve a few extra bucks
>>741656115I'm buying two. With this performance it's a no brainer.
>>741661541I have a PC that runs Steam OS taken from the Steam Deck. Once Valve's own steam machine drops it'll be possible for me to swap my current version of Steam OS to the Steam Machine's
>>741674598>Valve is the only company in the world that treats its customers with respect? the ones with the gambling in CS and introducing loot boxes to the western market?i like steam as well but come the fuck on. don't be a blind fanboy
>>741657040Most the comments I see are people saying they'd rather pay MORE for hardware that isn't four years out of date. Valve could easily sell a $1500+ machine instead of this weird underpowered cube.
>>741674734>? the ones with the gambling in CS and introducing loot boxes to the western market?I mean, they're not perfect, but next to what Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo pull out, this is absolutely a non issue in comparison
the prices are only going up from here, poorfags. if you can't afford a competitively-priced low-mid range mini PC then you are lower-caste cattle destined to flip burgers for the servants of my servants. sorry you had to find out this way.
>>741674598Most people who like Valve are not like this weirdo here. No real person is thinking about "rewarding" a company, they buy something if they want it. This is a crazy weird mentality.
>>741656115Maybe you are.
>>741658498They're going to ask an orbiter at work or on discord or similar. What the fuck are you talking about? We're not in 2006 any more.
>>741674885Why is it weird? Valve is a one in a billion thing. Tell me what other company does for its customer even half of 1% of what Valve does, you cannot deny that the video game industry would be in a much better place if Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo behaved like Valve>good, honest competition>cheaper games>no paid online bullshit>no stealing my games if I fail a 30 days check in>no gaasslop>no moviegames
>>741656115I have a deck OLED since it came out and I have literally 0 use for the machine if I can already stream to the deck on a dock anywhere in my house.
>>741656115LOL I have top gaming PC and my old laptop is stronger than this shit. Hell my fucking phone probably runs games better.
>>741675042"Rewarding" a company is weird. You buy something if you want it. Not look to "reward" a company.That's some dumbass drone mentality.
>>741658498someone who gives that little of a shit about PCs and gaming isn't going to be moving from console to PC, they're going to stick with the PS5 or xbawx that costs 2x less and is stronger, you aren't going to start your ewhore streaming career on a gabecube
>>741675173Based white man.
>>741675135That's only valid for soulless corps like 99% of all corporations out there, I don't need to reward them if all they view me as is a source of money, Valve on the other hand sees me as a customer, and treats me like a customer should be treated
>>741675336You're a weirdo, we covered that.
>>741668679Fuck no. Even if it was "cheap" (lol) it still would have been really underpowered compared to anything remotely modern. You can go grab mobo/cpu/ram bundle and build your own poorfagbox with 1 stick of ram and still outperform the gabe cube. PLUS you have the option to UPGRADE your shitbox in a few years unlike the cube where it ends up in the dump since you can't put new parts in it.
>>741675173>not joining all 4
nope, I will buy a Switch 2 for me, a Switch 2 for my parent's house AND a couple exclusives + party co-op slop for a lower price than this retarded cube with no controllerI might buy another one just to spit on linuxtroon fanboys
>>741656115Nah, not because I'm a seething poorfag, but because I already have a PC.
>>741674598>treats is customers with respect A lot of Valve customers are disrespected by how they mostly stopped making games. We don't get anything from them with a 3 at the end, because they make so much from the 30% cut of everyone else's games that they no longer feel like putting effort into software
>>741656115I don't know about you but my wife and I will buy it. Xe loves Gaben so much.
>>741656664>weHe is talking to other valve marketers. This board is full of them.
>>741656115My PC is worth more than your life
>>741675514$1500 is DEFINTELY not worth it. $1k is really pushing it but you can justify it for the form factor
>>741675965mr value ben please pay me the monies! Tim peenie doesnt enough pay the rupees!
>>741668679No, even at $750 it would still be shitty value, your average prebuilt came with far better specs and offered a path to future upgrades. Also, it wasn't rare seeing laptops with 4060s and sometimes 4070s at that price range during sales, if that's more of your thing.
>>741675042>cheaper gamesValve games have some of the most predatory microtransactions out of all publishers. Probably only rivaled by EA with their sports games. >no stealing my games if I fail a 30 days check inThe mass majority of steam games have steam drm included. You never bought the game you bought a license key to the game. They can't steal what was never yours to begin with.The valve dickriding is crazy.
>>741676198microsoft and epic are the good sar!
im not and i was never planning too but i am buying a steam frame

>>741656115Zero interest
>we
>>741676431SAR you have the x and y chromosome deletion!
>>741656115My PC is better than the semen machine. I could see some value in a steam deck since it's portable but the steam machine is truly unnecessary. Also 512GB? I have 10 TB
>>741676128This is a SSF product. In SSF land the usual order of operations is laptop components hitting 97 celsius and dematerializing thermal paste and warping nearby plastic.The fact that this thing is thermally stable already makes it S+ grade in it's own category.
>>741676701Cool story goy
At this rate of production the Deckard's going to be a one-off and they're only going to make 5000 units.
>>741676886its called a steam frame faggot
>>741656115Yeah, it's a no from me.I'm a massive Valve fanboy, and more than 1000 bucks for the least expensive model with outdated hardware and no controller included is too much, even for me.The reason the Steam Deck LCD was so successful was its price point, and the OLED was a worthy upgrade, but the Machine is too fucking expensive, to the point where I'd rather buy a non-Valve minipc instead..Valve really messed up this time, no saving this.
>>741656115I'm not. I already have a stronger PC. might get the controller though
>>741676576>value in a steam deck since it's portable If you want to play the same bigger newer games as on your desktop, you wouldn't want the existing Deck. The bare minimum handheld for you would be more like the first 2023 model ROG Ally which is a lot more powerful. Or wait for the Steam Deck 2, but it could be like 5 years away if they don't want to launch it during the RAMageddon
i already have a controller and have a powerful steamos/windows dualboot pc in a lunchbox case, im fine. i still signed up just to see if i can nab one for my kid tho.
>>741672826Did you get it recently for that price or in the past?
>>741675173What do they mean by results?
hell no
I'm not buying an overpriced console when I already have a PC, buying a PS5 or Switch 2 makes infinitely more sense and it's cheaper
>>741656115no you retarded turd
>>741676576Steam Deck is worthless these days. If you are really deadset on getting a handheld, then a rog ally is better.
>>741656115No, I'll save a grand and get a better experience for it.
>>741677673NTA, but $1500 seems about right for those kinds of specs.

>>741656115its been such a odd day today i ordered a 9800x3d 9070xt 32gb ram the exact same day this piece of shit box's price got shown im so fucking glad i bought it, its almost a calming sensation
>>741656115I've got a solid PC already.Just gonna wait for a price drop, probably after the AI bubble bursts and hardware prices come back down to more sane levels.
>>741656115i'd grab it for 500eur or so and put it next to my TV, but it's hard to justify for 1000+ when i have no use case for it outside of fawning over how absolutely adorable the box is
>>741656115I'm going to buy it for as a second PC for my streamer setup and become a star!
>>741677673Bought an Acer with a 5070ti recertified for ~$1300.Just werks bro
I wanted to buy two, actually. But now it's too late, I have to spend money on renovations and such.
>>741657040>luckly im not poor so i will buy a cuckcube that plays games (only if they dont use anticheat) at less than 60fps at 1080p on mediumkek
>>741675173good goy
What's the business strategy here?Anyone who gives a shit about Gabe valve or steam already has a PC by definition, and anyone who already has a PC likely has one as good or better than this.So who's supposed to buy it?
>>741657040>I'm not poor so I will buy a machine that will only run indie metroidvanias at over 30fpsYou guys really need to stop trying to bait with your I'm not poor, I'm not brown, I'm not a tranny, which you are.
Steam negroids in full damage control
>>741656115I am not buying it because I am smart it's not available in my region
I already have a 5070ti PC and the Steam Controller. Why would I buy this?
>>741677028I don't remember asking.
strictly speaking the 'ube would be an upgrade for me. But since i'm already low-ending there's really no issue for me to just 'ock my 'eck and play whatever i would play normally
I have a 5070ti with 32GV of DDR5 RAM and an i7 13700kThere is literally no reason for me to buy this despite this rig I have nothing to play anyways
>>7416686792 years ago at a 600 dollar price point?Yeah it would have made sense and people would have bought it
>>741676701>laptop componentsyou can get mini PCs that have desktop components (unlike the Machine, which uses laptop components), for around the cost of the Machine with miles better performance.The Steam Machine is an actual joke.
