    Cell phones are weaker, smaller, and cost more than a steam machine.

    Steam machine is weaker, smaller, and costs more than a console.

    Consoles are weaker, smaller, and cost more than an equivalent pc (at launch at least).

    Seems the smaller the device, the weaker it is and the more it costs.

    So give me a room sized PC thats nearly free and powers the world’s intelligence. Im sure it’ll run crysis.

      saying cell phones cost more than the steam machine is incredibly disingenuous

      it’s only some of them and it’s only rich/wealthy people buying them

      I’m also glad I got the first Gen SteamDeck for launch pricing but it’s in just about zero ways the same as a Steam Machine, unless you just mean they’re both PCs running SteamOS, as that’s about all they have in common.

        I mean, I am comforting myself by saying what I already have is good enough which is why I don’t need the steam machine. I know they are not the same.

          Yeah, I’m definitely in the same boat. Would I love a Steam Machine? Sure. For $1050 can I continue plugging the HDMI from my desktop into the TV? Also very much yes.
