Steamlink machine

August 22, 2025 by Snusboks

Over the past years i pretty much stopped any form of serious gaming, and i am not planning to take it up again. Actually, i put gaming so far into the closet that i started using macbooks. After using macbooks for some time, i will never return to a windows machine as my main again.

However, newest mac hardware with any form of performance for a little newer games, is very expensive. Actually so expensive that i consider strongly to retire my current macbook and go back to a normal windows desktop i already have the hardware for. But i want to try setting up the desktop in a closet with a ethernet connection, and put SteamLink on it first. Since i am so used to the screen and keyboard on my macbook pro at this point, it might actually be a decent solution. Will be tested over the next few days, and i will update about it!

I know “everyone” will tell me to just game on the desktop directly. But you have to remember, i live in a camper this winter, and space is somewhat limited. I dont want to give up so much space “permanently” to a setup with keyboard, monitor and so on. So i will test this out first! 🙂
