What a killer on the cost. I wish they gave a discount for a Steam Machine user

It's about $150 more than the original Valve Index, which given inflation and ram prices is honestly pretty good

Idk much about VR, is 2160^2 per eye enough to not have screen-door effect? Can I replace my multi-monitor setup yet?

It's around what the Quest 3 has. There is no noticeable screen door effect on that headset. Since you can make the monitors as big as you like, you could do a multi-monitor setup, maybe. ... as someone who uses VR pretty heavily though, I'm not sure I'd personally ... want to?

What's really cool is that it has an ARM64 CPU. If it can run any Steam game, it's very possible we'll see Steam on Android phones/tablets.

> Steam Frame is a PC, and runs SteamOS powered by a Snapdragon® 8 Series Processor. With 16GB of RAM, Steam Frame supports stand-alone play on a growing number of both VR and non-VR games without needing to stream from your PC.
Stretching the definition of a PC here but it is interesting they have ported SteamOS to ARM with x86 translation.

Agreed, though for what it's worth, Windows and Mac both run on ARM and/or phone processors now, so.... they're not the first to say that?
