I never want to see HN complaining about Apple prices ever again now that I see multiple folks calling the Steam Machine a great value.

The steam machine handily beats apple in terms of dollar per TFLOP and dollar per GB memory. It's also easier to upgrade, making it likely to last longer.

Unified memory puts Apple in it's own category for certain workloads however, but since we're talking about gaming here, and not local LLMs, Apple simply cannot compete on any kind of value comparison

A great value if you pirate games.

		Great value if you buy games in steam sales, which are so common and deep that it leaves any console way back.
