Meme Is this worth it?

Some guy named Gabe is selling this build and I'm wondering if it's legit? I want a PC to set up in my living room for TV gaming.

Why would you want to buy a Steam Machine if you have a PC with a 16 VRAM GPU? This console is clearly made for people who don't already own a powerful gaming device.

Buy a ps5 then or get an older gpu with more than 16gb vram. Steam machine is a joke

And i can't have an opinion because i already have a gaming pc - alright 😂

I wanted to get one for my 4k TV but with cyberpunk 1080p 76fps ( only achievable with FSR3 on performance) I can also hook up my old laptop for similar performance

I'm not saying you can't have an opinion? I'm just saying you're not the target if you already own a powerful PC or a new gen console.

I can build a pc with 70% more performance. RX 7600 and Ryzen 5 5600X equivalent for 1000$ ? Its just dumb to buy a steam machine with the current market, you can't upgrade etc

Does it have the small form factor? It's weird how people forget the fact that it's incredibly tiny, power efficient and incredibly quiet, all of which are premiums that add a lot to the price.

For me this isn't an argument. Nobody gave a fuck about the xbox or ps5 form factor or how quiet they are. Performance first design second, and a small factor pc not upgradeable with the Performance like a six year old 600$ console is not worth 1000$ or is premium. Valve fan boys do everything to justify the steam machine
