    Being 9060xt based is the main bonus over the Steam Machine. It’s a good bump over the 7600

      But also starts at €1,089.00. And it’s to be seen how well the company will support the operating system and software over the years. This is something where Valve is a prime example how to handle it. But it’s nice to have alternatives, if it is well supported in the future. I’m also curious how the operating system stacks up against SteamOS and the other community driven projects.

      Would it be safe to say that the Steam Machine would be priced slightly lower than this console based on those specs?

        Most likely. I don’t think Valve would release this at a price higher than 1.1k Euros. If we are lucky it will cost 700…
