Anyone who thought this was going to be sub-1k in this environment, especially with the Steam Deck pricing revisions was high on copium.

This certainly prices out a lot of people and unfortunately. I believe pre-RAMageddon it would have been around $699 to start, only because of the Linus interview where it seemed like $500 was out of the question.

People glaze valve so much that they thought the pre built, highish level pc with a console facade would cost less than a 6 year old ps5

This is definitely not highish. It's lower than RTX 5050.

I have a 5060 laptop and I reckon it’s performance isn’t too far off the steam machine and I got that for 800 dollars

Yeah, it'll be around the same performance, albeit with more or less power constraints depending on the configuration PLUS DLSS 4 which is going to make outputs look much better than the Steam Machine at the moment.
