To also have my steam library available downstairs mainly. When the rumours started about a new steam machine I was all excited, big fan of the stuff Valve makes. But after seeing the specs and price I started having second thoughts but reserved one thinking it would probably take a couple of months anyway before I could buy one. Oh well.

If it was around 700 euros I would definitely have gotten one. The lack of performance could have been justified then because I could also use remote play if needed.

Ah I read that wrong then. But the end result is the same for me at least. My 512GB reservation request was removed when my 2TB queue spot was granted.

Got my mail to buy the 2TB with controller yesterday but after some thought I am going to undo my reservation. I just can’t justify the price of this thing. I have a pretty beefy computer upstairs and would probably get really annoyed by the lack of performance in comparison. I will probably go for a mini pc (with steam controller) and stream my games instead.

Btw, if you enlisted on more than one model, your option to buy will only be for the most beefed up one. I enlisted for 512GB and 2TB, but can only buy the 2TB and the 512GB spot is gone.

Btw2, for me it said 3-5 business days for delivery.

Good luck with your reservations, hope you all enjoy your steam machines.
