I got a place on the 512GB with Controller list, and got an email a few days after they started. I ordered it on Friday the 3rd and got it today on Thursday the 9th. The tracking codes were all over the place and gave different estimates depending which branch of each company I used. Steam claimed it was shipped when the courier said they hadn't got it so I was worried for a few days. But this morning Royal Mail (UK customer) sent me an email saying it would arrive today, while GLS said it would arrive tomorrow.

Safe to say I'm happy to have it now and be playing games!

I worked at a computer store for a few months. Tools like PC part picker likely aren't always 100% accurate... And, even small things like cases can cause issues.

And, you still can have weird issues. I bought an omnibook and was getting random stalls. I'm still not sure it was fully because I didn't have enough ram. You shouldn't, but it does still happen.

Nobody is forcing you to buy it. But a lot of people just want a turnkey solution (like I said) where everything just works with minimum effort. I actually play games on a 4k tv.. using a rog ally.

It's not like steam likely won't update their steam machine specs again when it makes sense either. It's unlikely they'd run the same cycle length as Xbox, Nintendo or Sony

At the very least, I think part of the reason, like the steam deck is to kick off other similar products too. Even if you don't like the steam machine there will likely be others which are preinstalled and target steam
