The title is a bit misleading, as the article lists diverging analysts’ opinions, ranging from Valve willing to sell at a loss or low margins, to high prices due to RAM and SSD price volatility.

Here’s a gaming laptop for $700 that I think is similarly powered, except it also has a screen, keyboard, and trackpad. If Steam Machine doesn’t come in below that, then I’ll probably just build something more powerful instead.

FYI The Windows License is more like $20-$40. The OEM Version costs $40 retail and MSI has probably a better deal. That’s how Microsoft got Windows on nearly every prebuilt PC since the mid 90ies.
I guess they are including the screen, the keyboard and the trackpad with the Windows license in those $200.
Oh, yeah that would make sense. Thx
