Valve has still not confirmed pricing or availability for the Steam Machine. In the meantime, the developer of EmuDeck is selling an alternative called Playnix, which should outperform the Steam Machine thanks to an AMD Radeon RX 9600 XT 16 GB GPU.
This is interesting; specs look pretty solid for the price. Notably this uses DDR4 ram vs. the DDR5 in the Steam Machine which, given the current… situation… probably contributes a lot to the price point seeming reasonable.

Also 600W is likely several times more power draw than the Steam Machine is aiming for, however much that might matter to someone.
600W PSU does not mean it actually uses 600W
No but you’re paying for it to have that capacity
600W with that form factor? This thing is gonna be louder than a PS4
No Ryzen 5 is more than 95W, and the 9060 is a 200W card.
They could easily get away with a 400W PSU, similar to a PS5.
That’s more power than my server and desktop put out together when I’m gaming
