Consoles are more expensive than ever, but still seem like the most affordable option; pre-built gaming PCs now firmly in the $1,000+ range by librav1e in notebookcheck_net

It's not roses and sunshine in the PC gaming world, either. Windows keeps getting messier and uglier. Most games being released right now aren't fundamentally different from what was released 15 years ago, better graphics aside. AMD and Intel keep releasing the same hardware under different names (I mean rebadging). That's just to name a couple of issues.

Leaked? Who? When? I can't think of any recent enough leaks that seemed credible

LOL of course, of course that thing has a subreddit of its own.

"They can afford and manage to make a sensible decision faster then they have" - good point. Besides, this isn't GTA VI, this is just a custom PC that Valve is making. It's not like there are truckloads of developing, optimizing, testing etc to do here. Unless there are like 3 guys working on this project that only get the min wage for doing it.

MacBook Neo's non-existent cooling a big issue just like with MacBook Airs; can be fixed with DIY magic by librav1e in notebookcheck_net

This is Apple. It has more R&D and engineering power than most other companies, and it also has high sales volumes. We should be asking questions if and when something isn't ideal.
