Steam Machine Review: Valve Explains Their Choices

Valve engineers and designers discuss the hardware, thermal, and operating system design choices behind the Steam Machine.

It's finally here. We test and review Valve's Steam Machine, a compact gaming PC that feels right at home in the living room connected to a big screen television. Here's how SteamOS and a variety of games run on the custom hardware designed for Steam Machine, which in many ways is more console than computer. Along with performance, pricing and the pre-order details are also revealed! (Correction: Steam Machine comes with 1 stick of SODIMM RAM, not two sticks in dual-channel configuration.)
