    And a lot of the prebuilts have a ton of cut corners. A well put-together machine that people can trust to play their games at a base performance could be great for those who don’t want or can’t DIY.

      PCs suffer from massive hardware fragmentation. It’s about time someone made a standardized PC.

        Eh, I dont want steam machine becoming a standardized PC.

        having CPU and GPU baked into the board and unchangable will just increase e-waste cause it will age out much faster than a PC which you could, 3-4 years down the line, max out the CPU in, throw more ram into, or upgrade teh GPU, to keep it relevant for another 4+ years

        It serves its niche purpose, but it should not become standard.

          A good APU solution like in the consoles would be a nice option though. Especially now with RAM prices through the roof again.
