    Any educated guesses, or layman guesses, about the price?

    My layman guess is 600-800, the low price being same price as the top end steam deck on release

      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.

      The Machine will apparently be about the price of “an entry level PC”.

      The Frame will “not cost more than the Index”.

        I don’t see that being the case, it’s relatively low end silicon, with meh levels of RAM and very poor levels of VRAM.

        Seems to me like they’re targeting a lower price point, which I think is a good idea if they want to take market share from Microsoft.

          Yeah, I was very surprised to see the only upgrade is a generous storage from 512 GiB to 2 TiB… I would rather build my own PC, spend a little extra, cover other needs I have (zfs pool for videos), and get a good GPU that I can always replace for a newer one in a few years… But of course, that’s just me. That new GPU could easily cost as much as the Steam Machine itself, hehe. Of course, it would be way more powerful…
