Are you ready for a $1,000 Steam Machine? Some analysts think you should be. (arstechnica.com)

The title is a bit misleading, as the article lists diverging analysts' opinions, ranging from Valve willing to sell at a loss or low margins, to high prices due to RAM and SSD price volatility.

My biggest complaint about the Steam Deck is that it's too underpowered, so yes, I would in fact love a $1000 Steam Machine. Can we have a $3000 one too, please? I want a luggable PC that can handle games with RT in 4K 120Hz.

Sounds like the next gen Xbox’s are right up your alley.

I don't want a console. I need to be able to hack, mod, and pirate my games as I see fit.

The next gen Xbox is a pc. It will run all your steam games, all your mods, all your hacks, and all your pirated games. It’ll give you the option to do $1000 or $3000 builds to play games at 4K120 with path tracing (well MS likely won’t go that far, but that’s the idea behind them - other OEMs can release their own Xbox PC).
