Runs on a version of linux (SteamOS), which is fucking cool. You can also install other game stores and run normal programs on it.

Here are some tech specs:

  • CPU: Zen 2 4c/8t, 2.4-3.5GHz (up to 448 GFlops FP32)
  • GPU: 8 RDNA 2 CUs, 1.0-1.6GHz (up to 1.6 TFlops FP32)
  • 16 GB LPDDR5 RAM (5500 MT/s)
  • 1280 x 800px (16:10 aspect ratio)
  • 7" optically bonded LCD
  • Bluetooth 5.0 (support for controllers, accessories and audio)
  • Wi-FiDual-band Wi-Fi radio, 2.4GHz and 5GHz, 2 x 2 MIMO, IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac
  • MicroSD slot to add more storage

Is this any good? Looks better than the switch, but idk.

      The OS is going to be like 3GB, probably less. 64GB will work fine if the only thing you’re playing is lightweight indie titles.

      Totally out of the question for anything AAA from like 2017-on, though.
