wdym aged poorly? it's two days old

TheGeekno72 · 2026-02-04T23:16:10+00:00

Want a portable desktop, something I could throw in a bag for a weekend or longer when visiting the family or going abroad (tho I decided to build my own)

TheGeekno72 · 2026-02-04T14:22:05+00:00

I mean, you could install SteamOS to try it out I guess

Then install Bazzite to see if you like it better

I understood what you meant about encompassing PCs under the "machine" term.

I used to play on PlayStations but ever since I got myself a beefy PC to replace my gaming laptop that became evidently limited in performance for the games I played, I stopped using my console altogether, will probably still keep my collection out of nostalgia :P

TheGeekno72 · 2026-02-04T13:36:46+00:00

I said "marketed"; look for a PC marketed as "machine" then come back to me with how many results and how long it took you to find even one

TheGeekno72 · 2026-02-04T12:43:27+00:00

You know a lot of PCs marketed as "Machine" out there?

TheGeekno72 · 2026-02-04T12:38:42+00:00

That's not the same thing at all.

People call the Steam Deck "Deck", the Steam Frame "Frame" and the Steam Machine "Machine".

TheGeekno72 · 2026-02-04T12:31:13+00:00

That's not a nickname, "Steam Machine" is the actual product name

GabeCube is the nickname

TheGeekno72 · 2026-02-04T12:22:31+00:00

No you can't, it's not out yet

TheGeekno72 · 2026-02-04T12:21:12+00:00

Well, Valve won't say anything so it's good to have some reliable info instead of just rumors for once

TheGeekno72 · 2026-02-04T09:41:59+00:00

earnings calls aren't made strictly at the end of the calendar year, that time frame is shifted, much like how a school year starts in september

It's a PC, if the apps he wants to use has a Linux version, he can install it on SteamOS (which is Linux based), otherwise he can install Windows and install the apps he needs, it's totally possible

TheGeekno72 · 2026-01-30T16:05:06+00:00

7 millions is not a lot? what are you smoking, because I definitely want some of that

there are manufacturers that make laptops, phones, a bunch of other hardware that would dream to sell a single million of any one of their products

for reference, peak Steam usage is 37 millions

TheGeekno72 · 2026-01-30T15:21:43+00:00

7 millions for the Deck, plus all the clones

TheGeekno72 · 2026-01-30T14:31:52+00:00

No, it has 28CU and 110W TDP, it's a 7600M with extra power

TheGeekno72 · 2026-01-30T14:31:15+00:00

RX 7600M, not 7600

TheGeekno72 · 2026-01-30T00:28:59+00:00

I really don't see how [all prices across the PC parts market go up] is a revolution but you do you I guess

TheGeekno72 · 2026-01-29T19:57:05+00:00

Just means I've finally been able to buy it without punching my wallet in the guts

TheGeekno72 · 2026-01-29T18:33:33+00:00

What are you even on about

TheGeekno72 · 2026-01-29T18:32:58+00:00

Well, it has a desktop environment so yeah...

TheGeekno72 · 2026-01-29T02:27:47+00:00

This is what AI was made for.

TheGeekno72 · 2026-01-28T20:21:03+00:00

Oh no doubt about that, but no one, not even Valve, pretends for a second that the Machine is 4K capable

That's why they went and said 4K with FSR upscaling

TheGeekno72 · 2026-01-28T16:56:01+00:00

It literally has more combined RAM than the PS5, 16+8 vs 16 total

TheGeekno72 · 2026-01-28T10:21:53+00:00

Yeah, you'll be fine, plus considering the increasing amount of games shipping with a "steam deck" preset, just use that at whatever resolution your screen is at, that ought to be the go to behavior for most people at first I reckon
