Somewhere actually between PC and Android I believe.  The SteamOS and Steam Machines should be Linux based, so people who have been staying "PCs" for this, unless they mean "Personal Computers", aren't quite correct.

I didn't understand what you said... PC uses Linux too.

StreamMachine is a PC with SteamOS.

"PC" is most often associated with a computer that runs a Windows operating system.  It goes back to IBM PC days.  It contrasts with Mac or Linux.  In this regard, Steam Machines that run SteamOS are not PCs.  There is also another meaning for "PC" which means "Personal Computer".  A Mac is that PC, as will very likely a number of Steam Machines.  Other Steam Machines may drop the keyboard and mouse completely.

Again, it depends on what definition of PC you use.
