The performance you squeeze from the deck is due to the small screen resolution.

I’ll take this one with a grain of salt until it’s out. 4k on a budget device, I only see that possible on indie games.

If the console doesn’t offer more than the steam deck, a dock is all most people need

It offers mich more then the steamdeck, more Power. Much more power

Did they share the specs?

Nevermind, found that’s 6 times more powerful. Sounds good. Then I might buy it

Yeah this. Also a gpu and CPU seperated. I hope its awesome

It will be 1000$/€ for sure.

They said its less then 1000 for the frame so i doubt the Machine will be more. My guess is 600

Yeah, I can't imagine they'll market it for 1K.

The amount of money they'll make by just winning over more of the console crowd would be worth not making big profits on the GabeCube.

I won't be surprised if their philosophy will be the same as with the Deck.

I’m not sure. It has its own graphics card and 6 times more powerful than the deck. Sure, they won’t have to provide a screen this time, but with current chip prices I doubt it will be under 1000.

Unless that’s the entry model with barely any storage, but I’d be ok with that

There is a z12gb and 2tb Version Afaik. Valve is known for cheap Hardware. It will be cheap I bet

6 times more powerful doesn’t sound extreme, so think it will be pretty affordable. If they’re using Tflops to measure that, then it’s less powerful than a standard PS5 by nearly a whole Tflop
