Worst time possible given RAM and storage insane prices.

This was supposed to be a sleek console-replacement for your living room or a desktop replacement to game on a small budget without having to Do It Yourself. So it fails from the start with price.

Valve sent Gamers Nexus a review unit and they benchmarked it.

Performace would be acceptable if it was ~$600 for what is a compact, very quiet box. It's a 1080p machine ( or higher for lighter / older titles ). ( Otherwise building your own in a larger case will be cheaper and perform better. )

I don't think there are enough fake frames and upscalling on Earth to make this output the playable 4k 60FPS Valve tried to claim it would.

Oh and you're not actually getting one even if you want it because ''lol the cube looks cool''. You'll be asking to be put on a waiting list.

P.S. : They have alot of time to fix the problems, but Gamers Nexus found alot of jank and bugs. Like how Steam thinks it's a Steam Deck and tries to default to that when it shouldn't. Or that some games will default to installing a shitty Linux compatible version that performs worse than using the Proton translation layer.
