Valve dropped its claim of 4K60 support for the Steam Machine, officially concluding its official specs. In the UK, retailers and hobbyists are now offering compact PCs that equal or outdo the Valve model at cheaper price points.
France's LDLC introduced a "PC Box" with an RDNA 4 GPU that undercuts the Valve price. Meanwhile, DIY hobbyists took advantage of discount offers to construct personal setups for cheaper. The movement suggests that shoppers can achieve comparable performance without waiting for the discontinued hardware.
