About 3 weeks ago (well past the original reservation period) I decided I might as well put myself on the reservation list for the steam machine (512Gb + controller) and yesterday, I already received my notification that I am able to purchase the damn thing. I expected to wait way longer, at least until next year.
Are turnarounds this short to be expected?
I was willing to wait for anything when the waitlist was announced and ended up getting the 512GB and controller offered really quickly. It also arrived really quickly.
I bet they had a lot more availability of the 512GB storage. They use the short one.
I already swapped out the 512 for 1tb I had lying around, it was easy.
I have 32 GB ram to do next, but that looks challenging so I am putting it off for awhile.
I am using it at my remote office as a work computer by day, and game machine at night. Perfect for traveling and it really is silent.
