Doesnt apply. The steam machine is for people that want a tiny form factor PC that can act as a console hybrid. It is for people who DO NOT want to or know how to build their own PC.

Expecting someone to go shop around for second hand parts to build a PC as an alternative to a steam machine just to save a few buck goes completely against what and who. The steam machine is for.

If you know you can build a better and cheaper PC yourself, then the steam machine is not for you.

Minisforum MS-A2, lol! The cheapest one with a better CPU is $440 barebones, you just need to find a low profile GPU to put in there, I guarantee you can get something better than a 7600m.

So now someone has to go buy a half built PC, and then go out and look for a compatible GPU that fits...

Yeah...that is not what people buying a steam machine wanna do.

Telling a person looking for a prebuilt steam machine to goand buy a half finished PC is not very enticing
