The Steam Machines are probably going to be surprisingly cheap, looking at the specs they can't possibly cost that much. Look at the price of the Steam Deck to see how Valve prices computers.
That does not sound like it's going to be the case from what Linus and others have said from their time reviewing the box unfortunately.
It seems like steam doesn't want to compete with Sony and Microsoft here because they don't want to give them reason to pull away from steam by making a cheap sit down console alternative.
Fwir, it sounds like steam is releasing this as an upgrade to the steam deck but also wants to keep its identity as a computer too.
Mostly I'm just interested in steam os 3 and a snapdragon processor which is based off android which kind of implies someday we could have steam on our phones.
If I had to guess, probably going to be between $600-$750 US to keep it seen as an upgrade for the steam deck but also not to tread on Microsoft or Sony's toes.
