Valve announced a couple of new hardware today.
A new Steam controller
A Steam VR headset
And more importantly, a Steam machine.
I'm quite excited to finally have a steam deck without the portability.
Been a while coming. So many DIY devices.
Shame they can't pull the switch thing succesfully.

A bigger screen? As long as you have a PC already, though, you can make some significant savings by buying an HDMI cable instead of this Steam Machine thing.
But I guess maybe if you haven't had a PC you can buy it and start buying PC games off Steam. Which makes, sense? I am sure.
The temptation for me would be that the computer and living room TV are on opposite sides of the house.
Streaming is possible but its a big faff and involves turning the computer on and off anyway.
Doubt I'll be getting one but I can see where some might be interested. If it costs less than a full PC but games have more compatibility then that is good for those without gaming PCs.
Looks interesting, and might finally get me to shut down my Windows box for good. I'm worried about the relatively small amount of system RAM, though. I haven't done more than ad-hoc memory profiling on my gaming system, but I feel like only having 16GiB is pushing it for some games already, let alone what might be coming.

In my case, getting a console like experience while avoiding the price wall that are Xbox Game Pass (formely live) or PSN; getting access to more indie darlings for a cheaper price.
