A credible source alleges that the Steam Machine, which is now targeting a summer 2026 launch, will be priced much higher than Valve previously expected.
If I had to guess, I’d think somewhere in the 1500 usd region. Which will make it more expensive than some prebuilts, but still somewhat justifiable to enough people due to certain expectations. Hell it may even perform a lil better than some prebuilts with dgpu, since valve already has skin in the game to keep improving Linux experience. Still I wouldn’t trade a 6 y/o PC for it rather just slap Linux on it myself…in fact I did that.

1500 is too much. You can definitely build better PC at that price… it just won’t be that small.
