Steam Machine vs. PS5: 5 things Valve’s PC can do that consoles can’t

Valve is taking a big leap into gaming hardware with the Steam Machine. The mini PC is the closest thing we’ll probably ever get to a proper Valve video game console. It’s a plug-and-play gaming computer that’s about as easy to use as a PlayStation 5, though a little less powerful. It’s also significantly more expensive than a PS5 by hundreds of dollars, which might leave you wondering why you’d actually want to buy a Steam Machine.
