DDR4 or DDR5 means next to nothing for these low end systems. Higher performance requires more power and space. Today you can get a higher performance PC gaming system for less than the cost of the Steam Machine. You can also upgrade the system I provided. The steam machine has no place in PC gaming. It is a waste of money and time.

    Like I said, show me one in the same form factor.

    Anyway, you can just say it's not for you. You dont have to be offended that it's appealing to others and not tailored to what you want.

    I am going to have to give it to you. If you want a weak small box that runs steam not very well the Steam Machine is the way to go. If you are a PC gamer and want a more powerful system for less that is upgradable you have better options out there.

    The Steam Deck already showed that people dont care so much about raw performance. Everyone did the exact same thing as now, calling it underpowered. Granted it was a handheld, so it sold on that merit. Just like the Steam Machine will sell on it's own merits.

    It's a perfectly powerful machine, the price is unfortunate given the market state. There's not much reason we need that much more power, except that today's big games are made like absolute shit and barely perform, but hey, we can just not play those shitty games.

    If you cannot justify, you dont have to buy it. Everyone else can make their own decision.
