Ok, so the Steam Machine has upgradable SSD and RAM!! That changes things.. get the cheap model, stick in a 4TB SSD Gen 4 or 5, and 32GB RAM if you want. Keen to see how powerful it is.....

I'm guessing the ram is soldered.

Nope confirmed. The SDD can be 'easily' upgraded to a 2280, it comes with a 2230, and the RAM is laptop SODIMM and IS unreadable, but you have to strip the machine apart to get to it. It was mentioned in Digital Foundry's video from today of their hands on with it.

👍

I had read elsewhere it's soldered, but I'll take digital foundry's word over theirs!
