Yhea steam machine was designed to be faster than 75% (not your top 25% top gaming PC). I think think it's fair of a lot of people to compair there before RAM-boom prices expensive computers to such an device.

I kind of agree with Linus here that SteamOS is an excellent option for a simple gaming OS, I will probably add another option to boot to soon

Interesting watches that they can enter the steam hardware survey

If it weren't for all those Ti-84 graphing calculators people use the steam machine would be an even lower spec!

but no, see, its okay, because you can use FSR to play games at 40fps at 1080p. So that makes it good. /s
