Very interesting especially considering I'll be starting back on the commute around that time and a lot more travelling for on-site work.

The 256gb looks like the best trade off in terms of price at £459 as it's 256gb storage, expandable of course and will you really miss the anti-glare etched glass?

 

[Robert]

Stepping up to £569 for a proper one with a NVME SSD and glass screen.

they only differ in storage and screen don’t they? If you put a fast sd card in would you really notice between it and the nvme versions?

 

[DrCrabHands]

Remote play is a big plus for me

 

[jrodga2k5]

IGN have a lot of coverage of it as they were given an exclusive look at it all. Worth checking out

 

[Paul_cz]

That looks...fantastic?
Great performance for good price considering the specs, and you can't beat the functionality of a full fledged PC. This thing is about 1000% more useful than Switch.

 

[Malevolence]

How long does the battery last?

 

[manic111]

Wow, this looks stunning - may well end up trading in my Switch for it

 

[Dave85]

The ign faq was great basically do what you want on it. battery said 4 hours portal 2 and near enough 6 at locked 30fps. pre-ordering this for sure.

Y'know, I just had a thought, but I'm probably not allowed to discuss it here.

Looks pretty good, still a docked kind of gamer so have no real need for it.

 

[Kautya]

Looks decent but not so sure about the button placement near the top.

 

[KompuKare]

Is this just going to be a flop like steam machines?

Well, you'd think getting AMD to make a custom SOC would cost tens of millions by itself so they should have done their maths.

I guess it is possible that the SOC isn't actually custom and will be used for lower end laptops and they just get to have exclusivity at launch.
Zen 2 & RDNA 2 is a strange choice so will be interesting to see die size, and performance compared to Renoir and Cezanne.

 

[Jae-So]

I think I'm gonna preorder I'm interested.

 

[Dyson]

I can see a market for this

There's a huge market, already served by the likes of GPD

Love my GPD Win Max, best purchase in years

 

[jrwagh333]

Im not convinced it will be fast enough. A 15watt CPU/GPU combined even at 720p whilst running via emulation over Wine (unless I am not understanding what wine is)? I'm not sure we'll be playing rdr2 on it at all regardless of storage space...

Wine isn't emulation

 

[iamtheoneneo]

The market already exists with better features...having this through their own ui is a killer for me.

Il stick with my GPD.

 

[hyperseven]

Probably stick with the Switch as has enough games to play with its Switch/Android multi-boot.

No harm in reserving one though.

You know you're not stuck with their UI so I'm not sure how its 'a killer'?

 

[random_matt]

Ordering the top model, makes the Switch OLED a proper rip off.

 

[Random Guy Esq.]

Tempted, but probably can't justify it now that I'm working from home... If I still had lengthy commutes facing me, I'd definitely be interested.

 

[LabR@t]

i no longer keep a gaming pc but for my 300+ games on steam this is must as it will play off of them with ease.

The smaller screen will make even older games look nice
