I have been checking the Steam Machine subreddit the last couple of days and seen that a handful on people over there has been getting theirs now.

So, Lemmings: have you gotten yours yet? And what’s your first impressions?

No offense, but I really don’t like this take.

The Steam Machine is not about price/performance. It’s about easy access with zero hassle to your existing Steam library in your living room. Of course you will be able to match the price/performance if you disregard HDMI CEC, noise levels, size and accessibility/ease of use.

Of course people wanting a PC shouldn’t get this. This is for people who doesn’t have a console since they are PC gamers, and now for the first time can access their existing library at the TV.
