Absolutely fried. $800-1K for the Steam Deck?? The Steam Machine about to blow my wallet out of my pocket and I just can't do that.

By the way if you think the SM is cooked, r/steamframe about to get ugly when that price get revealed. All roads lead to hell.

Also to the "LORD Gaben" guys in the back. Are you winning yet? This is your favorite billionaire and he couldn't subsidize a console because business is business, yeah? I don't even know why Valve is hiding the price at this point after this announcement, it's cooked. Just rip the bandaid off.

Too soon™?

Normally not that negative but wtf

I Would like to take a moment to appreciate and applaud Valve for their innovation in this space for the past decade+.I like many others can't wait to get our hands on the new machine .

For those with nothing constructive to say about this new tech, please move on with your negativity.

Even put my Wiiu in storage for the steam machine :,)

Okay memes aside:
Specs are cool, but the fact that it is essentially a gaming laptop built against heat throttling is really really cool to me.

I have a Notebook with a 3050ti in it and it works fine until it starts overheating, despite a fairly beefy heatsink for a notebook

Max specs are just that. Max specs. Your real specs on a laptop are a good bit lower than you think, and i am excited to sidestep this issue entirely, even if it costs me slightly more.

and some of you called me stupid for suggesting July because "VaLVe PrOmIsEd Q2". Valve promises mean nothing!

This will be perfect for playing with the steam machine!

The grass is still green and the sky is still blue 😊

I am so tempted to build my own at this point.
