    Dave2D mentioned that Valve said it isn’t aiming to directly compete with consoles, but rather sff PCs. So the price will likely be in the $700-900 range(?)

        Below this price it will literally “evaporate” in seconds after release.

          It probably will anyway.

          Index and Steam Deck both sold like crazy on release, Valve has already proven itself with their hardware.

            Last time they’ve locked the sell on account base. Hopefully they’ll do the same this times too.

      You’re not fitting a 6 core processor and a **60esque card in a ssf case for less than $1k I don’t think, so even $900 is competitive

        I think you can. The Ryzen 7600 and Rx 7600 are kinda cheap nowadays, even better if you use a 7500f.

        You use a Chinese b650 ITX motherboard around 150 dollars and boom. You don’t need to buy expensive stuff to make a passable small PC.
