Gamers Nexus says it’s about $70 more than self-built. (for the 512GB model)
So, you’re paying $70 for a small form factor PC in a custom case, with SteamOS. Another thing is that you can choose to buy a Steam Controller for $20 less than buying the controller by itself and you also don’t have to wait in the pre-order line for the standalone controller (which is currently extended into 2027).
The hardware shortage makes it not a great time to buy a gaming PC, but in the current market it’s priced competitively and you get to jump the line buying a Steam Controller as well.
Help me out, is “it’s small” the only reason to get this if you have a microcenter near you? Seems one could do much better with a mediumish SFF case
