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

Too expensive, too weak – or technically underrated? On Reddit, fans are defending Valve's Steam Machine as a "technical marvel." The focus is not on SteamOS, but on the compact 15-centimeter cube itself.

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.

Yeah but not that like PS4 wasnt smaller. Their PC is not very upgredeable anyways, so with custom MB and cooling you can do smaller. There are enthusiasts building 4060 PCs into like Velka 3, that's a 4 litre gaming pc.
