I think $700-$800 is a more realistic range unfortunately. It depends on how thin margins Valve is willing to accept, but I don’t think they want to sell at a loss like the typical console manufacturer.

Relevant part of the article.

Larian Studio’s Publishing Director Michael Douse took to Twitter to argue Valve aren’t looking to make a device that exceeds the power of the consoles, they’re making a baseline. “They’re probably betting on the fact that anyone who wants more demanding PC hardware on their TV is part of the audience who know how to turn any PC into a Steam Machine,” Douse argues.

[…] Douse says, Valve are setting a baseline. “If Valve can once again normalise and thus create that entry point there is potential for big growth in that new market”. Once Gabe and his kin establish a baseline, other companies, such as ASUS and Lenovo, can roll in with their more powerful machines.

That’s what years of screwing customers over does. Ubisoft is no longer a brand people associate with quality products.

”Quest 3 without Meta” is what I’ve been dreaming about. I feel like Steam Frame could be my entry to the VR space, if the price is decent.

From what I understand the Steam Machine performance is somewhere between Series S and Series X. I don’t think it will cost more than a Series X.

Maybe 600.

I also checked the last 3 numbers just to be sure. LGTM

I think it’s days in home computers are numbered.

Most of the things an average person needs can be done through the web browser. You only need a Chromebook, phone or tablet.

Linux has suddenly become a viable option for gaming. This has been the one thing that kept many away from using Linux.

I don’t really see why anyone would want to use Windows for their home PC, other than familiarity. It doesn’t offer anything you can’t find better elsewhere.
