The specs and pricing on this thing are nuts.

It coming with Windows and being about the same price as the 512GB Steam Deck will make this a much more attractive option to the majority of gamers I would think.

Nice, genuinely competitive!

I've no interest in one of these running Windows but darn, if SteamOS works well on it, that'll be good stuff!

Windows 11 is trash, but the hardware looks great. I ended up preordering one because I want to get it supported in #OpenRGB and then try out some form of SteamOS UI Linux on it. Love the Steam Deck and plan to keep using mine, but the specs here are impressive and it has RGB.

@CalcProgrammer1 I just 100% cannot afford any extras right now, even if I wanted to out of curiosity on the specs

don’t love that they have multiple performance tiers. I love that the Steam deck is a reliable standard to target. Makes it more console like. This feels much more PC than console.

It is just yet another piece of hardware. Windows tablet with attached controllers. It has nice hardware specs today, which will be outdated in couple of months anyway. What then? What kind of support you will get for it after 2 years? Will it still work? Who will care, if not?
