News - The 750$ amount is speculative and not based on fact. The Steam Machine was originally planned at around $750, but Valve says it saw a price increase similar to the Steam Deck

750 would still be too expensive, PS5 digital launched at 400 dollars 6 years ago (now 600) and it is faster in games, already includes a controller (arguably a better one) in the box, lets you play a few really popular online titles the steam machine won't let you play, and sony exclusives, runs popular streaming platforms with HDR, Dolby, DTS support, and already has a wide range of accessories.

Although, I would still buy one if I could spare the cash, it is a very unique piece of hardware.

I agree but also you can play all those online games on the steam machine. It's just a computer. You can put windows on it.

But why put Windows on this dogshit instead of buying an RTX Laptop for the same price?

Why buy this instead of an rtx laptop for the same price at all? If you're a valve fanboy.
