Capitalization change for r/steammachine

Heya, I'm a mod over at r/steammachine. The community has been asking if we can update the capitalization to r/SteamMachine to match Valve's official branding. Is there any way to get this changed?

Sorry if this question was already asked before but its 2026 things change right?

Thank you for any help.

Claim your Early Cube flair!

We are nearing the end of the drought. Between the speculation, the community research, the unhinged copium takes, and somehow everything pointing in one direction... it feels very close.

To enhance that, we're giving a special Early Cube flair to everyone who was here before the pre-orders go live.

Just reply below to claim it. The post closes when pre-orders go live, after that its gone so if you end up clearing your flair its gone for good.

RGL Deals of the Week:

$1,000 off RTX 5080 Legion Pro 7i, and the 32GB Legion 5i finally drops back to reality at $1299.

Top laptop deals across the board this week from rgl.deals (US DEALS)

Site Updates: Cleaned up the site and backend this week. Fixed bugs, prepped geo-support for more countries, and refined how we catch and score deals, and you can also now use our new Quiz!

Enthusiast: Lenovo Legion Pro 7i - $2499

Mid-Range: Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 - $1629

  • Specs: Core Ultra 9 275HX / RTX 5070 Ti (140W) / 16GB DDR5 / 1TB Gen4 / 16" OLED QHD+ 240Hz
  • Deal: $1629 at Amazon via rgl.deals (was $2199). You get an Ultra 9, a 5070 Ti, and an OLED screen for under $1700.
  • Alt 1: MSI Vector 16 HX for $1594 at Amazon via rgl.deals. Saves you a bit of cash, but you step down to an Ultra 7 255HX, half the storage, and an IPS screen.
  • Alt 2: Lenovo Legion 5i for $1299 at B&H via rgl.deals. The standout here is the 32GB of RAM. The $1799 original price was heavily inflated by the memory crisis. $1299 is where this should naturally sit, so it's good to see it finally drop back down. Great bridge option for an OLED screen and premium build if you're fine stepping down to a 5060.

Budget: Acer Nitro V 16 AI - $886

Hey everyone,

I've been working on this for a while, and it's finally time to share it. rgl.deals drops TODAY in BETA.


What is it?

rgl.deals is a curated deals board built specifically for this community. It only features laptops we actually think are worth your money. Every listing includes price history and review data from our verified creator group.

(Reviews, editorials, guides, and a full laptop database are coming once the deals side is nailed down.)


Why does this exist?

Too many deal sites have wrong prices, mismatched specs, or outdated listings. I wanted a clean, simple site with accurate information. It's heavily optimized for mobile since that's where most of you are searching on.


What's NOT on the site

Filler. We aren't listing everything. If a laptop is mediocre or a bad value, it doesn't make the cut.

Transparency note: Some deals are affiliated, some aren't. The decision making based on affiliation doesn't change either way.


Features

  • Advanced filtering: For users who know exactly what they want.
  • Guided laptop quiz: For quick, reliable recommendations.
  • Mobile-first: Optimized for phones and low-power devices.
  • Accessibility: Dark/light mode, deuteranopia mode, and reduced motion.
  • No tracking: All preferences are stored locally in your browser.
  • Deep links: Share filtered results or specific deals easily.
  • Accurate specs: Up-to-date details and price history (excluding Amazon due to TOS).

Heads up

Launch is US-only for now. It's a beta, so you will probably find bugs. Drop your feedback, bug reports, and feature ideas in the comments below!
