We’re talking all about the new Steam Machine. There’s some sneaky performance issues that are not being called out. It makes sense for some people to buy, and it doesn’t work for others. We are going to break down and analyze the technical, economics, and social impact of the new Steam Machine.
We also explore the things that people are not talking about, like how the configuration that is being shipped likely results in lower performance than originally intended.
We also go over the exact hardware you can get so you can build your own DIY Steam Machine. We will answer the question of ‘who should buy the Steam Machine’, and who should not buy it.
Some people view it as an excellent value, and others see the Steam Machine as a huge flop.
