Thread 216738815

Are you buying GabeCube in your culture?

it's cute but I don't need a living room computer and I can just install linux on a regular computer instead
it looks nice though

>>216738815 (OP)
depends how much he will charge for it
I'm still leaning towards building some cheap gayming pc, since I started to enjoy video gaymes again for some reason

>>216738815 (OP)
>soldered cpu
>soldered ram
>soldered GPU
>soldered (?) memory
what's the point of this thing? if its for a super thin laptop i get these tradeoffs but if you're just putting it on the desk why would you want this?

>>216739002
its a console but with freedom of pc

>>216739002

You can literally throw it into your luggage and play PC tier games without breaking a sweat. I use my laptop for both work/school/productivity AND games right now, if this is <$600 for the 2 TB version I have a PC to game and store vids/pics on

>>216739002
Smaller and cheaper to manufacture.

>>216739062
you mean terminal?

thats what steamdeck/frame are for, this is for a stationary machine.
>152 mm tall (148 mm without feet), 162.4 mm deep, 156 mm wide
ok so it IS small but get a miniitx board which is not much bigger and you can actually switch out ram,ssd,gpu,cpu
>>216739623
its not, commissioning a custom chip from amd is (vs using something like ryzen ai 300 like framework) is probably very expensive

Its basically all you'll ever need in terms of gaming needs. 2015 was the last good year for videogames.

Bloodborne was the last good game I ever played and that shit wasn't designed to be played at 4k. And if they remaster it it's going to be dog shit.

Same can be said with witcher 3 and Batman Arkham Knight.

>>216738815 (OP)
probably not, would be a nice emulation box though

>>216739660
>thats what steamdeck/frame are for, this is for a stationary machine.
I don't want VR and I don't want a handheld. If I bought an 'eck I'd keep it docked all the time anyways
If I built a PC it would be $2k because I want to have a current day dream PC that I don't need to upgrade for a decade +
Unfortunately I don't have that kind of money so this will have to do

Nope. Here it would probably cost way more than its actual worth because of import tariffs since we're not in the EU so at that point it's still better to just buy PC parts second hand and build your own machine with better specs

>>216740131
youll probably get more performance cheaper buying just regular components

Yea anon! I ABSOLUTELY love it! Oh I just can't WAIT to buy it for my **home theatre** so I can play my favorite indie games!

>>216738815 (OP)
Looks nice, but I'd say I'll get more use if I put a new AMD GPU on my own cube....

>>216740131
Playing regular games on a steamdeck is comfy as hell.

I'd like to try vr with some racing and some ski/Wintersport simulators.

>>216738815 (OP)
>800 Ameridollars for 5 year old hardware

Who exactly is the target audience for this? Console players want something that will start playing gta 6 when they insert the disc. This toaster with its ancient hardware and unoptimised PC versions of games will choke trying to run any current gen game.

>>216742124
SAAAAAAAAAR

>>216738815 (OP)
no i have a pc

>>216738815 (OP)
I already bought a 5070 so I don't need it unfortunately

>>216742124
Mini PC's have their use case. For those that don't want to build their own, one common issue with them is that manufacturers drop firm/software support very quickly.

Having one that is supported by Steam, specifically for gaming, will be great for some people.

>>216742206
2033 will have amazing games I just know it
>>216742245
Not just that it's literally just a Kubuntu PC. Even if SteamOS stops getting updated, Linux can run on any potato off the street

>>216742245
It’s being marketed as a video game machine. It’s got weaker hardware than a ps5 which was launched in 2020. And on top of that, there’s the performance penalty of running PC versions of games.

Sure, it can still be a decent machine (after discounts) for older/less demanding games, but that’s not a hot selling point.

the future will be ARM gaming and you will do AAA gaming on a charged device for 20 hours straight without losing battery and you WILL LOVE IT

>GabeCube
Shitcube. Looks like a Fakking CHOC O LET CHIP COOKIE

Vghh is that a heckin' VALVE product???! This will go nicely along my Switch, Switch 2, Steamdeck, upstairs gaming PC, downstairs home cinema set, Playstation 5 Pro and Valve Index

>>216738815 (OP)
No but I might get the steam flex

>>216742124
Valve is just Nintendo for PC gamers. It will sell.

>>216742442
except valve doesnt lock platforms or sell slop

>>216742504
Nigga where have you been those greedy fat fucks buy out all the IP's then turn them into online children's casinos with a 1.5 man dev team to pick new content from the community to sell.

>>216742442
Steam Deck did wii U tier numbers. There’s a small vocal minority that will eat up anything valve shits out, but I am highly skeptical about this prebuilt pc.

Valve can’t invest billions into R&D for custom APU designs a la sony and microsoft. They gotta pick cheap consumer grade parts and I doubt they’ll take a loss per unit.

>>216742577
>buy out all the IPs
name 10 IPs that Valve has bought and name one that Valve didnt cause it to make huge success

again. Valve supports open platforms and is not remotely close to nintendo.

>>216742504
Vasss???? Alta! gold! gold! gold!

>>216738815 (OP)
only the steam frame, I only tries android cardboard before so I am ready to be blown over. Even the cardboard despite being so shit was an amazing experience. I used an samsung s6 phone and it had a really high resolution oled display. I really wished we got microled or some kind of oled because seeing complete black scenes in vr is truly worth it. You could see the night sky and it would look just as real

>>216742656
sounds based
the God has earned it

>>216742702
What have they even done for you in the last 6 years? Or for anyone?

>>216738815 (OP)
as an eternal laptopcel I might actually buy that thing to play some games instead of buying a """"gaming"""" 10kg laptop
but it all depends on its price of course

>>216742757
I can play on linux now and no longer need to use windows
most likely got me a job as well through hobbyism that came with this

>>216742757
Linux is actually usable for mainstream video games now entirely thanks to Valve

>>216742656
Based fat retard

haven't bought a game on steam for years, but I appreciate their efforts of writing radeon drivers that just so happen to be much better than AMD's
hope they throw some cash at KDE next, that shit needs a facelift

Looks flimsy and poor quality

Ill wait

>>216743339
valve funds wine, fex, kde, arch and mesa to name a few

No, my computer is better than that.

It can run Windows.

No. Not the target audience

so only keyboard and mouse ?

>>216744380
I'm really curious what Valve HQ looks like (I assume they all WFH).
According to legend it's impossible to get in and they only take the best and brightest with little overhead staff but I'm willing to bet that's not the situation on the ground

>>216744446
you can add a usb hub

>>216738815 (OP)
No, i preffer to build a pc is cheaper and better.

>>216738815 (OP)
Yeah, and I will insta resell it (It's the safest way to avoid taxing my CS2 gainz).

>>216742656
I bet he fucks little kids on that thing

>>216738815 (OP)
no but if i ever want a tv box to play games i would get one but now im happy with my pc and steam deck

All Adobe, all Affinity, Ableton, CapCut, ProToos, Cubase, Figma, Cinema4d, 3dsMax, Solidworks, ZBrush, etc, yes you can think of alternatives but mostly not "industry standard" (exception like Resolve)

usecase for any of those shitty programs?

>>216738815 (OP)
It's weaker than a base PS5

having separate good hardware is redundant

I have a good pc in my office, I just buy little mini pcs and stream to them in any other room using sunshine and moonlight

>>216748619

literal professions not just hobbies

>Oh no! my gaming machine can't run graphic designer software! what will I do???

I doubt people who work with that would ever buy a gaymen machine with a "discrete" 90W GPU

>>216744695
That ad was probably outsourced to some marketing company, I'm pretty sure Valve doesn't have a marketing team in the same way they don't have a HR department

>>216747408
it's legal on international waters

My 3 years old PC is better than this, its meant for normies on low budget
