Probably leave some contact info, otherwise how will the kind sole safely provide the invite?

Ask HN: Is the Steam Machine worth $1049?

bigwheels — Thu, 08 Oct 2026 19:25:18 +0000

I got an email this morning inviting me to purchase a Steam Machine for $1049.

It's all AMD-based, 16GB DDR5 and 8GB VRAM with 512GB storage. They're about 4x more powerful than a Steam Deck.

Con: Since it's Linux-based I think online games with anti-cheat won't work, which seems like a significant downside in terms of utility.

Is this a decent deal compared to building my own gaming rig?

p.s. I don't really care about the size footprint.

In my mind it is nice but in the video the reality looks quite creepy!

I noticed this today as well, showing 15 but it seems short and it used to be paged.
