Kind of impossible when a company like Valve has hardware purchasing power which means RAM and NVME are bought at a less absurd price.

It’s also worth mentioning that you can’t really upgrade a Steam Machine down the line when it starts to feel underwhelming in a couple years, given its 8GB VRAM/RDNA3 architecture. I wouldn’t say it’s overpriced but I wouldn’t say it offers much value either. It just has quirks (software & formfactor).
