So, apparently we're getting a portable Steam Machine next year with 4GB of RAM, a 720p touchscreen, HDMI output, Bluetooth, and Wifi for $299. How will this compare to Nintendo's next handheld? Which one will be more powerful? Which one will be most expansive?

MORE INFO: Smach Zero features a 720p resolution 5 inch touchscreen display, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, HDMI output and 4G LTE connectivity with the PRO model.

The Steam-based handheld has an “AMD embedded G-Series SoC Steppe Eagle with Jaguar-based CPU and GCN-based Radeon graphics under the hood.” It also includes 4 GB of RAM and 32GB internal memory with room for external expansion. Battery life is yet to be confirmed.

What can we expect from NX (if it's a handlheld) with regards to this information? How powerful can it be? Extrapolate people!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

This is all the specs I have, and they're in the OP: 4GB of RAM, a 720p touchscreen, HDMI output, Bluetooth, and Wifi for $299.

EDIT: Smach Zero features a 720p resolution 5 inch touchscreen display, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, HDMI output and 4G LTE connectivity with the PRO model.

It should have some sort of storing your games in an SD card or internal flash disk within that steamboy, because it is a portable steam, you wanted to play those games anywhere you wanted.

720p is filthy modern technology. SD is cheap. Cheap is sufficient.

If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

I think everyone forgot about the Vita where it basically tried to do the same thing.
