Interesting.

I saw an article earlier today about the rumored new controller, and it's now confirmed to be true... like a post from MLID saying that Valve would reveal something today. 

We'll see how Valve prices it because, let's face it, the GPU isn't exactly great (what is it, a 7600M?) and those 8GB of VRAM could become a problem with newer games. But I still haven't checked the DF video.

The headset is also surprising. I thought they'd try to use the hardware of the Deck to make it easier to run games and other software, but ARM makes more sense.

It's a 7600M with somewhat more juice. Which could perform reasonably well but probably fall a bit short of consoles due to bandwidth bottlenecks.

Yeah, VRAM looks like is going to be the Achilles heel of the device, both in bandwidth and capacity.

Not that it matters much but it's odd that specs says display port 1.4 and hdmi 2.0. Does RDNA3 laptops not support DP2.1? Or maybe it's an error?

I think they did support DP 2.1 but not the full bandwidth, but maybe I'm confusing it with the HDMI 2.1 port. 

It's also odd that they have an HDMI 2.1 device but they've decided to cut that to the 2.0 spec. But maybe they'll be able to fix that with a software update. After all, there's still time until launch.
