The chance of it being sub-1k are incredibly slim.
They might have a 8gb ram version at 999 €.
Seems unlikely since the specs are already listed and they list both storage capacities and only 1 ram capacity, plus varying ram amounts would throw a huge wrench into the verified program.

After the price hike of Steam Deck recently, I'm guessing something more ridiculous like 1400.
I think $1400 is a reasonable guess for the 1TB version, but I think the 256GB Frame could end up between $1000 and $1200.
They claimed <$1000 at one point. So my guess is $999
They claimed <$1000 at one point.
The same point when they announced "early 2026"?
Idk, but we're still in the first half of 2026 believe it or not
June is not early in the year.
Early/late is a spectrum (Im not being serious btw)
I hope not. I wasn't personally planning on getting a steam machine (already have a Linux desktop that is more powerful and about the same sound and size wise), but I was actually looking at getting a frame, because I suspect Valve will get it right without over monetizing it. However, $700 was already sorta high in my mind, even if it does have surprisingly good specs.
