So its not really a Steambox since it runs Windows, but it has a custom skin/interface thingy. Its also a bit overpriced. Do these things even have GPUs? I couldn't find information on one, then again I just barely was interested enough to post this.

There's an option for an i7, 2TB HDD, and no dedicated GPU for the low, low price of $899.99! What a steal!

actually if you look under features and design it says something about a maxwell GPU with 2 GDDR5

That will be the $900 one with an i7, it probably won't even be a 750ti....

So with 2GB its already behind the curve when games are starting to chew up more and more VRAM. 

 

Nice.

The PC comes with a 130 Watt PSU and Somehow the GPU is a part of the case

Sorry i had to multiquote you all before you all jump on it!!!!

 

 

It has a 2gb Dedicated Maxwell GPU!!!!!!

 

Probably something like a 750ti! seems a decent little machine for that

 

Obviously its not a steambox as steam OS is not out, they have skinned it so that you can use a controller for all tasks though

 

It was even featured on Linus' video that it had a dedicated GPU
