	HN Discussion: ↑Appreciation for Valve's fair reservation system and transparent pricing explanation ↑Praise for the device being unlocked and user-controllable, supporting open computing ↑Enthusiasm for Steam Machine boosting Linux gaming legitimacy and adoption ↓Criticism that specs (16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) are insultingly low for the $1000+ price point ↓Skeptical comparison to PS5/Pro showing Steam Machine offers poor value versus console competition
