I'll be nice about this unlike both of you. The steam machine is indeed designed to play games. However it is also a fully functional PC which by simply creating a windows boot USB (very easy to do) you can turn into a fully functional PC in a small form factor. In fact I actually get genuine windows free or certain businesses can get licences for £10. So my comment is entirely relevant because it's a much better machine which is also fully upgradable (bar the GPU) in a similar small size. It also has a pretty decent GPU which even if you have no intention of gaming can be used to accelerate a variety of applications. I also own an Acer RL85 that was less then this PC and is actually a better system (£99). Hopefully you are enlightened enough to realise that an i3, 4GB RAM and 500GB 7200rpm drive is a better PC then this. I've had a similar system in the HP Stream 11 and a Lenovo ideastick and unlike a Chromebook windows runs like rubbish on these PCs.

I'm voting hot but I think you'd be better paying the extra £100 for a steam machine from Amazon. Of course £100 is a lot of money so unlike many on here I'm just voting hot for the deal as it is a good deal for this product and then giving my opinion which is not in any way related to the deal!

But isn't a steam pc for playing games on? This one is hardly a gaming spec and is intended for adults, so seems to me your opinion is irrelevant.

No, this is perfect for media streaming, Netflix etc to a TV. Not for playing games.

Does this come with the dual disc tray so can just drop in a another 2.5 drive?

If you’re looking for space to house your movie or music libraries, use a single 3.5-inch or two 2.5-inch hard disk drives. Alternatively, you can choose a combination of 2.5-inch hard disk and solid state drive to speed up your operating system.

Making the most of striking it hot as 90% of people click hot without a care or knowledge if it is hot or not, all they care about is discovering a flamedeer

Voted HOT! Why:
1. Legit Windows c£40
2. CPU £40
3. SSD £20
4. 2GB RAM (needs more) £20
5. WIFI + Bluetooth £20
6. Built in card reader £10
7. VESA mount! - you can attach it to the back of your monitor (if you buy one with VESA mounts)
Total c£150 but that is before cost of power supply, case etc. Got to be about £200 of value in the box.

With you 100% there mate - impossible to list any kind of pc, tablet or even TV without it being dissected as a games device...some of us want a TV to watch TV on, weird eh?

Could you upgrade the CPU in these?

Yep. You'll need to remove the WiFi card, then put the ram to one side. You'll see that the cpu and mb come together, so remove them both from the case. While on the subject, it will be hard to find a suitable motherboard for the case, so unless you are confident taking a sharp pair of scissors to the motherboard I would recommend budgeting for a new case.
Quite a lot of work IMO, but on the plus side you'll be able to use all the spare parts to make an entire mini pc.
