Rumor: Switch 2 has 12GB RAM and 512GB internal storage

I would expect Switch 2 specs around the ballpark of a Steam Deck. Well, this seemed impossible for the Switch last year, given the target price point (min $300, max $400), and the fact that Steam Deck was a huge battery hungry handheld(!) with a mediocre screen because Nintendo would definitely want to release a rather compact handheld with reasonable battery life and a decent screen. However, this seems more and more feasible in the next year. Steam Deck has 16 gigs of RAM, so 12 gigs sounds reasonable for Switch 2. So in essence, I expect a a rather compact switch 2 around the ballpark performance of a steam deck but with a better screen and battery life shooting for a target price around $300 or $400.

 Steam deck is just a laptop crammed in a smaller format. Won't be hard for Switch 2 to outperform it and have newer feature sets.
