Title: This is why some people see the Steam Machine as a “technical marvel” despite the criticism

It was just unlucky to get released during the AI bubble.

It would have been less than $750 if it had been released a year ago, which is a fair price for what it comes with.

Also... It's the 1st mini-PC that I know of that actually has HDMI-CEC, which is extremely convenient for its use case.
