You need a Multimeter to test that. You use the two test leads and make contact with the battery. If you're interested in testing it we're all here to help.

Have you done a factory reset?

I'm with you on that but the price still seems steep to me. Last I heard Sony makes a profit selling the PS5 Pro($750) and the Steam Machine has worse specs (60cu vs 28cu GPU/ 2TB vs 500GB storage).
Personally I was considering getting a Steam Machine over upgrading my PC just to make my life easier. But, not for that much of a premium.

That seems like a niche within a niche to me. The Steam Deck filed a hole in the market, the Steam Machine doesn't. Either way that doesn't explain the high price, last I heard Sony makes a profit selling the PS5 Pro($750) and the Steam Machine has worse specs (60cu vs 28cu GPU/ 2TB vs 500GB storage). Like others have mentioned, the price might be reseller pricing vs buying directly from valve.

AFAIK neither does Sony currently.

But why buy the Steam Machine over a PlayStation at that point? Your getting worse performance for twice the money. Isn't the SM meant to convert console players, most current Steam users already have PCs. Or am I looking at this all wrong?

I hope not, that's pretty terrible pricing for what you're getting.

It seems to just be a 7600m laptop GPU which comes with 8Gb. I don't think this is a custom chip like SONY uses but, just off the shelf stuff AMD sold for a discount.

That sounds like a terrible idea honestly.

$499.99 SteamOS version with 16GB / 512GB, a $599.99 Windows version with 16GB / 1TB
Looks like you get an extra 500gb with the base windows version for some reason. IDK what the deal is with that?

That can't be the case, can it? $100 for windows, which realistically might actually run many games worse is wild lol.

Yeah, but I was thinking more parents buying a console for their kids. Like oh little Jimmy can do his homework on this thing too, great I didn't have to buy him another computer. Or imagine if Microsoft put windows on Xboxes, every office building would be full of them lol.

I think the biggest thing would be getting a PC with decent specs for $500. Why would anybody buy a Dell desktop or the like ever again? Like even if you don't game and need to do office work it'd probably be the best option.

Racing and Sports games for sure.

That'd be some top tier trolling by Valve lol.
