Exactly what I expected, and what I feel is the opposite direction of what Steam machines were supposed to be about.
Show me the models that are supposed to compete on pricing with consoles, because I thought that was the whole idea? To be an inexpensive living room box, that's easy to use, and has more power than a console. $1k is ridiculous.
Models that compete on console pricing are far less powerful. Alienware Alpha is closer to the price expected of a Steam Machine which has Core i3, 4GB Ram and Nvidia 860M GPU.
970M destroys the PS4 GPU and is twice as fast on paper as the 860M in the Alienware.
