I suspect the Frame, with its x86 to ARM recompilation layer, is a trial balloon for higher-performance ARM hardware in more traditional form factors. More concisely, the Steam Deck 2, when it appears, will be a high-performance ARM device, with similar performance/efficiency characteristics to Apple Silicon MacBooks rather than phones/tablets. Of course, this depends on a vendor producing suitable CPUs.

Steam Machine looks quite intriguing, as well as the VR set. Depending on the pricing and specs, I could see myself using these.

Been hoping for the controller for so long. The other stuff looks amazing too, I have an OG vive so I'll probably get the VR headset as well. Very hyped! Just hope it's all available in my region in launch, they sell the steam deck here so fingers crossed.

I think all of these are nice, if priced correctly

Steam Frame needs to compete with quest, so prices over $800 are a really tough sell.
Steam Machine needs to compete with consoles, PS5 (non-pro) and Series S, so prices over ~$700 will become really tough.

Prices start becoming really good, if they manage to come it at ~$600 for Steam Frame and ~$500 for Steam Machine.

But with current hardware prices, Valve being valve and no-one can know if they want to make money on the hardware, or if they are willing to sell at cost, or if they are willing to subsidize, who knows where we will land.

I love that every single time I see someone mention the older "steam machines" from way back when they lable them as horrible. I own one. It was amazing. I had to download custom software to overclock it because the software limited me more than the hardware. And it wasn't even an i7. For the form factor and the price I paid for it, it was totally worth it and not crappy at all.

I'm looking forward to seeing what steams actual hardware will do.

The more I think about it the more I want to get a Steam Machine. My computer is around 15 years old now I am starting to wish for some more performance. I think the Steam Machine could last me many years to come.

Hype hype hype hype. I am getting a steam frame and putting it om my shelf!

I mean I already have a gaming Pc but there’s something about that box that I crave. It reminds me of my previous PC which I preferred (current one is too big but necessary for extra card slots)

I hope they price them as good as the deck.

This looks good. Like a Super PS4 Pro.

Valve should sell the lowest spec and let third parties go crazy with more powerful hardware or higher memory specs.
