Comment on Steam Machine pricing announced (from $1049-$1428 USD), reservation lists open
Mr_Dr_Oink@lemmy.world 1 week agoI see your point. Do you not think it is fair to say that there are mid range PCs at the 3 to 400 mark? I bought my pc for 500 around 6 or 7 uears ago and its only just showing its age. However most phones dont last 6 or 7 years without being crippled by more intensive software and OS updates or breaking physically or having their battery become useless.
The pc is a better investment in terms of longevity at the same price point and is upgradable part by part. Unlike 99% of mobile phones.
I think its a relatively fair comparison and to be fair to me i was only musing. I hadnt given it more thought than just improving the comparison off the top of my head.

I think it is fair but slightly different. I also have a 1k PC or so that just gets by. But I wouldn’t place it in my living room and you would not have the great integrwtion of steamos.
Honestly the price would have been OK if it wasn’t for the price hikes of RAM. That tipped the scale over.
