Valve sure is taking their time with the Steam Machine, so let's try to make our own using three different PC configurationss.
PCs used in this video:
GMKtec K12: tidd.ly/4vQhSkf
AtomMan G7 PT: minisforum.com/products/atomman-g7-pt
Playnix: playnix.io
Update: batch one of Playnix is now sold out, and with batch two they had to slightly raise the price to $1,139.00. The amount is the same in Euro and USD, with the latter being a bit cheaper thanks to VAT exemptions.
Linux OS options:
Bazzite: bazzite.gg
CachyOS: cachyos.org
The PCs demoed in this video were sent to me by their manufacturers. All opinions are my own, they did not see this video ahead of time, and no money was exchanged in any way.
