I rarely play the latest games, so that machine would be a good upgrade for me. Especially with the ability to load a different OS that I could use for both productivity and gaming.

Bump it to a bigger SSD and 64GB of RAM and I'll be happy with it.

SteamOS in desktop mode is still pretty great for productivity, im pretty sure you can set it to automatically boot into desktop mode too.

I believe I saw that both were user upgradeable in YouTube videos, though I am curious what options they will have for purchase.

Not an issue limited to the Steam Machine, but yeah..
