If it’s prices similar to a similar PC it would be a no-brainer to get the steam machine. Wouldn’t be able to swap the components, but the Valve ecosystem with easy updates, controller integration, gaming-focus, HDMI-CEC and wake with controller, that would be a huge improvement over a regular PC.

Valve made Alyx, so they could even try running it natively by compiling it specifically for the ARM64 architecture, saving the emulation cost.
