With the ever-changing laundry list of tariffs they probably don't want to have to change it after announcing it

it's an early announcement because they want to get out the devkits early so no price yet. there's been a lot of fluctuations in price in the hardware space and i suspect the specs of these devices will change based on availability as well.

the only thing we know about the price is that the steam frame will be the same price or below the index, so an upper bound of 1000$. as for the steam machine they said they try to target the entry level price for a gaming pc, and it won't be priced like a console. my guess would be that it will be priced around 1000$ dollar as well. probably something like 949$ for the 512GB model and 1099$ for the 2TB model.

I'm guessing it's gonna be about $2000, I'd very surprised if it's less than $1500. For context, Samsung released the Galaxy XR last month which is going for about $1800, the Play For Dream MR is about $2000.

So you might already be able learn more about it and how well it works.

It's for the milker!

I would be shocked if you couldn't plug it into a dock and use it as a desktop computer too, with keyboard and mouse and monitor. I assume it's going to be just a computer like the steam deck.
