i moved recently and don't have a TV anymore so my excitement for this kinda dwindled. the 2TB price seems like a bit of a hard sell, but honestly i expected them to be even wilder given the circumstances. personally much more excited for the Steam Frame

I was curious because as I get older couch gaming is less isolating and having a quiet small system thats was a linux PC optimised for pick up and put down play that JustWorked with no effort on my part is appealing.

But with the compromises inherent to it and the price point I'll probably pull my finger out of my arse and just build a small form factor PC

edit: btw if anyone knows anything about budget quiet linux small form factor PCs for non tripple a gaming that can also double as a server (ideally sub 50W idle draw) I'd be extremely grateful for guidance

    I'm actually right at that point myself. I really prefer couch gaming over sitting in my computer chair and I was hoping for this to be more affordable, but I cannot in good conscience spend $1050 on these specs. I'll probably just lug my primary PC into my personal room every once in a while.
