"Steam Machine’s pricing is comparable to a PC with similar specs" [0]

It has to be no more than 800€ then if it also wants to compete against the console market.

Even 800€ is too much imo because looking at the specs it's already not a "future proof" build, more like a previous gen gaming laptop

Unfortunately given the fact that RAM and SSD prices are going through the roof coupled with the fact that a CPU like that alone will be near 150-200 at retail this thing is going to likely cost more.

The console makers have avoided these price increases by mass producing the same sku for a while now. If stocks last into 2027 they will likely remain the same price. If they don't I imagine the console prices might jump a bit too.
