Oh it's on!

I wonder if these will perform better than the Steam Machines?

Is this a handheld or a hybrid since it can be docked and connected to the TV?

I don't think it poses much of a threat to the Switch due to the price difference. It should outperform it in terms of graphics though...

Might wanna watch this when you get the chance:

It will be dockable but they're selling one later down the line. But any USB C dock works with it apparently. 

It probably won't be very competitive with the Switch as the Switch's selling point is its software and ease of use, but with the new OLED Model costing $350 and this being $399 with specs that slay the Switch's, it's kind of amazing what they're doing at this price point. Nintendo seems to favor more of a profit margin than Valve on hardware. 

It'll also be able to take advantage of things like Gamepass locally...which is also awesome.
