That seems cheap to me, a handful of games and you made your money back. What's the news here, just a clickbait title..?

- everdrive 9mo agoThe community largely expected something like $800, with some overly-optimistic estimates going as low as $400-$600. So to a lot of people I think this feels overpriced. I personally don't have a sense for the PC market and costs, so I can't comment on this myself, but I know that a lot of people were hoping for something sub-$1000. I'm personally really excited for the Steam Machine, but I'm not sure it makes sense for me to get one. It's a somewhat close side-grade of my current PC, which is working just fine. And we have two very small children, so there is really no benefit to a permanent couch computer for us either.

- theandrewbailey 9mo agoWe aren't post-Trump nor post-AI yet. (More like mid-Trump and mid-AI)
- api 9mo agoPost Trump will happen. Post AI won’t. It’s here to stay, though the investment bubble will fade. RAM prices will come down as price signals work and supply ramps. There’s now more demand for RAM.
- Asmod4n 9mo agoWhen you look what 24gb of ram costs right now it’s about 60% of that leaked price. I’ve just bought a brand new Ryzen 5950x and will probably skip am5 altogether :|
