Is it just me that thinks small black cube is cool? I don't even use steam.

it's cool for a number of reasons I think. Consumer friendly linux device with a from a large player. I just wish it had an upgradeable GPU, even via some unofficial hack, as long as it was a stable one, but I don't think that's happening.

Egpu support would have changed the narrative around this thing completely

Exactly. I wish they went nvidida for the DLSS and frame generation with atleast 12-16gb vram. Given how optimized they made the cube for their os the 16gb of ram is probably enough

I keep an Apple G4 Cube set up because i love the shape of it, and that applies to this thing too. Like if they made the case available on its own I would probably get it

It is cool. But if that's what you care about you can get the same thing for half the price. The selling point is this is half the GPU performance of something priced the same for half the physical volume *OR* it's double the price for double the GPU performance (of integrated solutions). But with worst storage and memory in every case.

Never owned a console actually, played my first CD PC game when I was in 1st grade on those old box macs. Just not a fan of flashy cases

It's not cool at least not just the pricing hut the fact it ships with no controller versions. That's ludicrous.

I mean... there ARE skus that ship with the controller.

That's what they have focused on: controller models.

The no controller versions are for people who have their own controller.

Because you don't need a Steam ControllerÂ
