I'm puking at how they try to sell this as a revolution. There are literally dozens of home computers in that size.


but the most are a bit bigger and dont have a i5 inside.   its a fine toy, but its just not usefull. u  cant play most games well because of the gpu and if u just wanna work with it, its way to expensiv and overpowered.  the i5 has more power than the ps4 cpu and is used in mid level gaming pcs(if they pick a good i5 and not one from the lowest end).

there is just no market for this kind of minipc.(u can buy a gaming netbook for the price, with a lot more power)

It's not hard to just put more hardware into a thing. But the price for this is just ridiculous. What makes it even worse is that the usecase for those kinds of PCs don't warrant high power. Nothing you will do with those will require an i5, probably not even an i3.

Duping people while falsely claiming innovation makes this one of the worst things.

 

Also I'm pretty sure an i3 already easily beats the PS4 CPU in gaming ;)

 

it depends on the game. if the game just uses some cores, the i3 could hold itself(2 strong intel cores can beat 2-3amd cores)

but games that use alot of cpu power and cores will run better on the amd of ps4.

the 4 core i5 are stronger than the ps4 without problems.  intel cores a just so freaking powerfull. (6 year old quad cores from intel can beat the ps4 cpu power.( q9550 is still a beast)
