The sad part is that Valve really did price all the parts for pretty much as low as they could go:
Bruh the lenovo desktop I got on ebay got more ram than that (32 gb ddr5)
The hardware prices seem competitive. But the important note is hinting at the real form factor tax: It doesn't have the same cost / performance ratio as a normally sized PC using the same hardware.
Well it's little, competing in the little guy bracket.
Sadly thats probably a competitive price for a console now.
Either way it's cheaper than a console once you factor in the absence of discounts and subscription to play online that consoles have.
This makes me wonder about the next time we have to buy new phones ....
That's unfortunate. Expected, but unfortunate.
I like gaming. That like is not strong enough to extend to that price point.
Probably not interested for those specs at that price.
In Japan, the page also has a link that goes to some partner of theirs that's just a maintenance page at 09:38 on a weekday which.... does not inspire confidence.
To be fair that’s normal in Japan.
And if you’re talking about Komodo Station, they’re pretty good
It's a hipster PC. Even if there wasn't the current hardware pricing bubble, you'd still pay the form factor tax.
Not suprised after seeing the deck's price hike. Thanks AI...
This is overpriced for the hardware.
Building one is so easy guys, don't fall for this sort of thing. The GPU is amazingly underpowered.
Build a computer - buy a cheap cpu, a 5700, and 16gb of ram. You'll be fine with that.
This is overpriced for the hardware.
I challenge you to build out a parts list with comparable performance for cheaper. And it needs to be more than a 10% difference. You can't just show a savings of $50 and claim victory, because there's a lot you get in convenience and guarantees when you buy hardware from Valve.
You forgot the form factor
Fair point. I'm biased to give Valve a pass, but if any other company released a similar product at a similar price point I'd be skewering them.
