Aoostar’s mini PC completely destroys the Steam machine on raw performance, but you’ll need to add memory and storage

• This Steam Machine alternative offers more power at a lower price
• The Aoostar GODY 7600XT is a barebones device
• It is suitable for both gaming and enterprise-level design and rendering

Gamers and creatives looking for a cheaper alternative to the Steam Machine might just have found the answer. The Aoostar GODY 7600XT is not only more powerful on paper than the Steam Machine, it is also more suitable for tight IT budgets.

That’s certainly a bonus, but it comes with an important caveat: you’ll need to supply your own DDR5 RAM and M.2 storage.
