Market is so screwed right now anyway, but at that price you could just build a significantly beefier PC with used parts.

Wanted to switch from console but can't pre order because I haven't ordered anything from steam prior to April 27th. At this point I'm just going to stop gaming.

if you are a bit more flexible in the formfactor, you can build a small pc for the budget.

The biggest downside would be the missing HDMI CEC

Pretty machine. Probably not for me, but pretty.

I would really like to have one. But I own a XBOX Series X and realistically that's fine for me to use. hardware wise, the Steam Machine is not even a big update.

I'll wait 8 years for the next gen Steam Machine.

as a not that big a gamer, i was thinking of the Steamdeck to replace my aging Minisforum "desktop".

I had originally thought of the Framework

https://frame.work/desktop

with 64GB/2TB

and then move move the Minisforum to some LAN self hosting work (Jellyfin etc) but it has nothing for HDDs aside from external USB3, (and 1x internal NVME and 2x internal SSD) which i am led to believe is problematic

i currently just run a HDD on the router and use Kodi via a Nvidia box to a dumb TV.

I'd love to hear opinions from those with more insight

I run Linux mint on the Minisforum
