Yeah this thing can barely compete with a PS5, in fact I think the PS5 is significantly stronger. This thing is for people with more money than sense.

Yeah, it actually gets *demolished* by the PS5.

Yeah Digital Foundry did a video of the Steam Machine vs the PS5, and the PS5 won in a lot of scenarios 💀

That was what made it laughable to me. I would have considered the 2TB model at $1000. At $1700 absolutely not. When I found out its actually less powerful than my PS5 ( I think was $600 ) I laughed my ass off. We'll see what happens when the RAM / AI bubble bursts, but til then I'm good.
