    e-ink looks so cool lol

    LCD - bright, battery killer.

    Are these actually going to be battery powered? I guess they could have a USB cable to just plug into the Steam Machine around the side to the back, or even run it underneath if it has tall enough feet?

      Battery? The Steam Machine is a desktop PC, it has no battery.

        I don’t think the front panel has any connections. Unless they put some pogo pins there. But i haven’t seen them.

        My quote is from what they said about the panel with the built-in screen, so I guess there’s no power connection from the Steam Machine to the front panel

    Ink or pixels? Either way, all Steam Machine product updates drop on Reddit first.✨
