## Resource

Nick and Edie finally got their Steam Machines, and they tested independently. Didn't breathe a word to each other what they thought. Their opinions matched: This is the console they both had hoped for. Was it worth the money? They explain in detail the ups, downs, plusses, minuses, and the quirks they've found with 48 hours of use. This was recorded as part of the live podcast, but we wanted to separate this out for you audio listeners. Since this was from a video stream, there's some show-and-tell that doesn't translate well to audio, but you should be able to visualize, and certainly their review is universal.
