What happened?
ai raped consoles. There probably won't be a next gen for a while
ai turned anyone who didn't already have a pc into the raped, so steam machine became a product for the raped. i mindlessly consoom valve slop and buy hundreds of dollars of electronics i don't need at all, i have the og and new steam controllers, the steam link, and two steam decks, one lcd one the limited edition red colorway oled, and even i skipped putting in a reservation for steam machine.
Nothing
>>744641224well nothing, it was a DOA heap of scrap for way more than it was worth. anybody that said this pile of shit is a suitable pc for normies trying to jump ship from a console is a nutjob.
>>744641224shit hardware from 2022
>>744642059oh and troonix too
>>744641379>>744641508it's a crap product even without ai raping their supply chain. The specs are so poor its laughable; it's a PC you can barely even upgrade. Literally worse than a low-end laptop.
>>744642120nobody that was in the target demographic gave a shit just like nobody in the decks demo gave a shit dude. what mattered was the price point and that's what killed it. i have a beast of a desktop alongside my decks and i was still going to buy a machine.
>>744641224Can you buy them without the gay waitlist shit yet?
>>744642225The original pricepoint would've been $750 sans RAM crisis (controller not included), and that's still poor value for low-end laptop hardware.
>>744641224It sold out
>>744641224Gabe played 14D chess by making a shit PC to force other manufacturers into also making shit PCs. None of them sold and Linux is still at like 4%All of this could've been avoided if he just made it more powerful and subsidized it>nooo he can't subsidize itWhy not, he gets 30% from every game sale, same as every console>but you can install a different OS on itYou can literally install Linux on PS5
>>744642440yeah all 80k units
>>744642317yeah and i would have still bought it and recommended it. your argument towards value is not salient at the lower price point because there's a demographic where the highest end and even the mid end for performance is irrelevant as long as it meets a certain floor, which the machine handily does. the value offered by the form factor, the support, the ecosystem, and the novelty all easily trump the economics until you reach the current price point. even now if i didn't already have more options then i can feasibly exercise id have a reserve in.
>>744642508>yeah and i would have still bought itstopped reading right there, kys shill. you would have lapped up a turd pile if it was valve branded.
>>744642508>yeah and i would have still bought it and recommended it.then you're a complete idiot
>>744641224too expensive, I'm about due for a new PC and was looking to get one of these instead of building one myself, but I might as well stick to by 10 year microwave that's still just as capable for what im playing
>>744642508>I am slut for Abdul Ismail's and Gayben's microdicks
>>744641224My computer is shit and it's that thing is barely on par with it, and it would cost more than just replacing the parts in mine with equivalent stuff, kinda disappointed tbf.
Too expensive
>KDE
>>744641224Its a shit pc but small. What do you want to talk about?
>>744643161Too poor
>>744643286Grok draw konqi raping this thing to death
>>744641224None asked for it
>>744648543I did.
>>744641224is it shit? I got the email that I can buy one this morning, and I'm tempted. I know it's not comparable to a very high end PC, but it's a significant upgrade from my shitty laptop
But it's got an LED strip, y'all!
>>744641508I got myself a lenovo legion go with 16gb ram and 2tb ssd and i thought i was wasting it. But now the price of 2tb ssd alone would've worth 67% of that legion go back when i bought it and it felt like i've gotten a great deal. Mind you it's a 2230 2tb ssd which is more expensive than regular 2280 ssd
>>744649061still haven't gotten my email, considering just cancelling all together, If it's better than your laptop then you should get it for sure.
>>744649061It's hard to recommend over a proper windows ass pc but it's pretty cool. If you have the money go for it especially if it's an upgrade.
>>744641224people bought it, you seethed and made a shitty jeetcoded thread, and the day ended in -y
>>744651657>people bought itnot many :)
>>744641224saturn jewish/islamist black cube in your room you cannot upgrade that's only useful for people who never heard of a laptop. waow!! nuValve is a disgrace on all fronts
>>744652146>never heard of a laptopIf there's one thing that you can say about laptops it's that you can sure as fuck hear them
>>744641224It sold out and was a massive success
>>744649061I would just get a laptop with a 7700S or an 8060S GPU and put whatever distro you want on it
>>744641224>What happened?i bought it and have been enjoying using it, what else, my pc situation is sorted for the next 5 years
I bought it and have been playing palworld on it. It's great if you have a TV and want to game on it easily or have a summer home or something and don't want a full gaming PC there.I keep it at my summer home in the country and it's perfect for that, and small enough you can bring it with you later if you want.
>>744652868kek
>>744654435have you tried any demanding games on it yet? how does it perform?
>>744641224Valve hardware always flop
>>744654995I played Stellar Blade on it and it ran fine. It isn't as nice as my gaming PC but it is better than my steam deck.I could also play The Finals and Helldivers 2.
>>744641224just got mine todayis it normal that I got both an EU and a GB power cable?
>>744655062Get better taste in games
>>744655062cool. I think I'll get it then
>>744641224People have received the first production run, and are using them. More people are waiting on the next production run to buy it.Work is being made to partner with third parties to model either better or cheaper alternatives shipped with SteamOS.You expect to be blasted in the face with tiktokslop about something at every waking minute? Get real
>>744655621Oh and also the controller is great.
>>744655424Probably shipped with both so any Steam Machine so they don't have to make a specific UK run, and just ship it all from the Netherlands
It sold out. I don't need a prebuilt so I'm not asshurt about it
It stopped being an affordable alternative secondary pc and became a novelty device for collectors once they revealed the true price.
>>744656201I'm not going to do the "ur poor lmao" meme, but it's pretty cheap. I personally have no need for it, but I do want to get SteamOS (I just made the mistake of going nvidia when I built my gaming PC)
>>744641224Still haven't got mine, that's what happened.
>>744642452Linux is over 10% and climbing in the US. Valve can't subsidize a system people could just hoover up as a cheap PC, especially when they're already struggling to get enough made. There is still a fat waitlist.
>>744641224What happened?It's sold out and will continue to be sold out whenever there are some more to sell, even if the prices increase further. It is a testament to the power that some brands have over retarded cattle drones. The specs aren't good and in an era where 1440p 144fps is the new normal it's not going to cut it. You can play your indie hollow knight on it, but there already were ways to stream your games on your TV before while getting better results since you could use your desktop as the source. Then you can observe the mental gymnastics, oh it's a small cube blabla as if the people buying it have any sense of aesthetics in their home and the oh but I can turn it on with the controller as if getting your FAT ASS up once in a while is too hard. All in all, it paints a pretty accurate picture of the state of consumerism in 2026: 99% of gamers are cattle and they'll buy anything.
>>744641224Too expensive for what it offered.>>744642317>The original pricepoint would've been $750 sans RAM crisis (controller not included), and that's still poor value for low-end laptop hardware.Yeah, I would've bought it at that price, but more than $1000 for the cheapest one without a controller is too much even for me.
>>744642452Subsidizing hardware is retarded. That's why no console manufacturer does it anymore. It's even more retarded if your hardware isn't a locked down console. >he can'tBased making up things so you can deboonk them, you retard. The goal of Valve's hardware push was to make Linux a viable platform for gaming. Valve succeeded.
>>744659401>It is a testament to the power that some brands have over retarded cattle drones.but enough about windows
>>744660346Windows comes preinstalled for almost anything that isn't self built. It is not something you go out of your way to purchase. You're comparing apples and oranges. I'm sure you thought you were being witty but you're just fucking pathetic and I say that as someone who runs 2 machines on arch. Making linux and amd your entire personality is just making you as obnoxious as a 14yo girl making a retarded tiktok video.
>>744660669>Windows comes preinstalled>therefore i have to use ityep, you are a retarded cattle drone
>>744660932I use it at work. You have no reading comprehension, I already said I have 2 machines running arch and now you're putting words in my mouth. You're so stupid and such an unpleasant person that it's no wonder that linux is never going to take off when the online proselytes are like you. Without people like you who would understandably give the "ick" to any normalfag, it's no wonder people are put off by the idea of ditching windows. The greatest service you could do for the sake of Linux marketshare would be to permanently shut the fuck up but you never will since your kind can't help but always sperg out.
>>744661240>i said i have two machines running arch why wont you believe me when i instantly attack someone calling out the jeet bloated windowskill yourself sukdeek
>>744642452>>Why not, he gets 30% from every game sale, same as every consoleIt's not a console. Nothing would prevent people buying it just to use it as a regular PC with no effort instead of buying anything off Steam.
>>744658686no it's not, stop parroting that liehttps://www.pcworld.com/article/3204830/linux-didnt-actually-hit-10-percent-market-share-blame-bots.html
>>744662163>Windows Latest took a closer look at the supposed figures and reached a different conclusionlol
>>744642120considering the thing was supposed to be sold for less than a ps5 makes the choice of specs more understandable
>>744665038>was supposed to be sold for less than a ps5No it wasn't. Valve said the exact opposite even when it was first revealed.
>>744641224I wanted to buy it as a cute little portable secondary 1080p PC for an office and LANs, but I'm on the waitlist so whatever.
>>744653383>just get a laptop that costs twice as much bro
>>744641508This. I panic bought a 5090 for this very reason, and even at the scam prices then it's better than the highway robbery prices now
>>744659401>1440p 144fps is the new normalHaving a giggle mate?
>>744667824A 7700s laptop isn't that far off from the machine actually and it has a bit better gpu
