Is it using linuxunix? If so I'm out.

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...

Absolutely insane specs. I can't stop fapping to it! Zen 2 + 1.6TF RDNA 2 for a PC handheld is nuts!

For comparison, GPD Win 3 which comes with Intel GPU costs $800-$1000. Aya Neo which comes with last gen Vega GPU costs $700. The $529 version is insane pricing when you take that into consideration.

It will flop. Valve never supports hardware very long anyway. Nintendo is undefeated in the hardware space and every competitor takes the same failed tactic over and over. More powerful and more expensive.

Also it looks like an Atari Lynx.

It is using Linux but it's a PC so I doubt there will be issues installing Windows on it.

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. 

the biggest advantage that this system has is unlike any other handheld in the past. All handhelds had to build up a library and then after having some good games the average consumer would consider buying one.

But the Steamdeck doesn't have to worry about building up a game library as it has been doing that for almost 20 years.

Being a copycat doesn't make it a competitor.

That storage for the 399 model is a joke

Now that's how you do a "Pro" handheld device and perfectly timed as well after Nintendo's anti consumer move last week of jacking up the price 50 dollars for only 10 dollars extra of production cost. I'll definitely purchase this to play my steam library on.
