前PlayStation高管吉田修平在體驗Steam Machine幾個小時後分享了他的第一印象，他表示主機的遊戲性能令人失望，但同時也稱讚了其設計的幾個方面。
- 3D 性能簡直是……一般般。
- 系統默認推薦 1080p —— 我這是回到了PS4時代嗎?
- 有些遊戲啟動時間長得要死，它到底在幹嘛?
- 系統UI很容易上手。
- 小巧的體積和安靜性超級棒
- 按一下Steam控制器上的按鈕就能開機，這是個殺手級功能。
- 可更換的前蓋板很不錯。
- 隨機的開機影片是個不錯的細節 :)
- Steam控制器的搖桿比我喜歡的要松一些。
- 有觸摸板很棒，但它太「敏感」了，用起來有點難。
- 它讓我能在客廳電視上玩Steam遊戲，這一點就足夠讓我留著它了。
- 但價格非常不友好。除非是為了研究，否則很難推薦給別人。
Thoughts after a few hours of playing with Steam Machine. - 3D performance is just…meh. - The system recommends to default to 1080p - am I going back to PS4 days? - Some games take a looooooong time to boot, what is it doing? - System UI is easy to use. - Being able to boot up by pressing a button on Steam Controller is a killer feature. - Changeable face plate is nice. - Random boot up videos is a nice touch :) - Sticks on Steam Controller is a bit looser than my taste. - Having touch pad is nice, but it is very 「touchy」 and hard to use. - It allows me to play Steam games on my living room TV, which is a reason enough to keep it. - But the price was very unfriendly. Hard to recommend to people unless for research.
