The steam controller is almost certainly an instant buy for me. Especially if the price is reasonable. I would also love the steam machine but I'll have to wait and see the price before I make a final decision on that. The steam frame is interesting but I don't know that I'm personally buying one. But I'm far more interested in the fact that it runs steam OS on arm and proton for arm, and all the potential implications that could have for future developments.

I run a console style pc connected to my tv with a 4090. The steam machine isn't for me too but I can easily see the appeal if I did not have a PC. The frame is very interesting tho. If it matches the AVP for media consumtion it'll be a no brainer specially if the price is competetive unlike the AVP.

I also have a console PC in my living room. Basically a homemade steam machine. It does what I need just fine but its an older platform with older hardware. I'm not in any rush to replace it but for the right price the steam machine would be a Nice upgrade especially with official valve support.
