Rofl those specs are hardly worth $999, they need to be specific about what 7000 series gpu they're talking about. HD 7970 and it might come close to about $700 in value.


It's an AMD Trinity based APU. It's not going to be breaking any speed records, it will probably create a black hole and suck itself in trying to run a game at eyefinity levels of resolution that the website claims it's "capable" of.
The fastest Trinity based APU GPU is the 7660, so don't expect any faster than that.

With that money I can get ps4 $499 bundle, 2ds and still make a decent rig.



Lol, good luck with that.



I'm going to just point out the reason for the expense. Small company, breaking the mold on standard hardware components to make it a modular PC.

I really don't think the form factor will catch on to change the market or make these affordable. Still nice to see them try and it does only require 20ish watts.



Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(

999? Just build a pc for that.

The low power usage is impressive but the Wii U uses 33 watts and it's a third of the price.

Don't make him feel bad. He's just posting this thread for the people that missed this hilariously ridiculous news.
