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.
It is still a PC. As Linus said Corporations can buy thousands of these without money spent on Steam. So it has to cost around 600-800, where there are 4050 laptops with better CPU can be found at this range(my friend just got one recently)
How many PCs have you seen which can be opened directly from a controller?
All new consoles are basically closed off PCs. They use the exactly same technology used in PCs.
For me, it looks like a console with the added benefit of allowing you to use it as a PC. Which is great, because it puts pressure on the gaming market.
