Wow, that's really impressive. Should handle the majority of modern games at 1080p/high settings/60fps for years.

Oof. I’m sure there’s a market for this, but I don’t play portably enough to make it worthwhile.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
This thing looked really interesting when they said it was going to be launched at a "market disrupting price". $1000 ain't it.

Nah, it will do good 30-40 min judging by the 6800u handhelds.
That's... Still not good.
But still a nice option to have I guess. I can't imagine the noise in that mode.
I'd like whatever the next steam deck is to have a sizable overhead above this so that it can comfortably deliver this kind of performance without compromising on battery life and needing the fans to go crazy.

At that price I’d sacrifice mobile and just get a minisforum PC with a dedicated GPU.

We are guessing here, mind you. But it's never a good sign when something is "under $x" because usually that means like $1 under or even $0.01 under.
They supposedly have 2 models so may have a lower power lower cost version.
Yeah, it kind of sucks which is why any benches and game results taken at the 30w turbo mode are mostly pointless and misleading.
They do give you an option to run in docked which is nice. That said, Asus supposedly stated that we are looking at significant performance improvement over the Deck at 15w.

"Can mean"? I think it's more "will mean". Companies don't advertise prices higher than they have to, and that strong commitment means nothing but $999.99
Edit: you beat me to it. I'll delete myself

I’m pretty skeptical as a Steam Deck/Switch owner but fuck it if they can do it, great. The more competition in this space the better.

It's possible that they were talking about the high-end 8c/16t|12CU unit for performance, while simultaneously indirectly referring to the previously unknown until 4 days ago, 6c/12t|4CU cheaper model for price.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
It's launching in 2 weeks and they don't have the price finalized ?

8 tflops is nuts. Bring on Vita 2 Cerny.
It should run all PS5 games at 1080p easily.

Im kinda not interested at 1k, money isnt a problem but I enjoy less demanding games on the deck despite being able to play AAA games so the extra horsepower is kinda lost on me.
If they had stuck an OLED screen in there I would buy day 1 lol

Boost mode probably means "plugged in mode"... Would still be darn impressive for that form factor.

Yeah, maybe 6c chip with lesser GPU will be cheaper. Going to be interesting to see the price difference.

The screen isn't bad. It's 500 nit, 100% SRGB color space, decent contrast AND Freesync/VRR. The latter is huge and I would take that over OLED.
Would it be good to have VRR and OLED? Sure, but that would add significant cost and nobody seems to be making such screen.

ROG has to make money from selling hardware, they don't have any revenue stream from selling the system beyond selling the system.
R&D costs also has to be brought back through selling the system.
Nintendo doesn't have to make a profit from selling a console. it can sell the system at the same price they pay to manufacture and ship it, and then make money from selling games/licensing fees.
the same reason the Steam Deck was able to be sold at near Switch pricing 1½ years ago, because Valve wants you to buy games on Steam for it.
also rumors say the high end version of the ROG will be 1000 bucks, but versions with less storage will be cheaper.

The iGPU will never behave anywhere close to a 8TF desktop RDNA2.
First, because that GPU is starving on memory bandwidth with only 120GB/s shared with no less than 8 CPU Zen4 cores.
Second, because those 8TFLOPs result from the new double-pumped RDNA3 ALUs whose functionality hasn't been enabled in the compiler.
As it is, it'll be lucky to perform like a RX 6400 (sans the 4GB VRAM limitation, as it'll probably be able to access up to 12GB or so). Which is still mighty fine for a low-settings 1080p / high settings 720p scenario.

Id take oled over vrr to be honest but you know what they say about opinions!
The switch OLED for example just looks so much better than my deck.

Deck's screen is just meh. Valve needed to hit that $400 price point. This will be more akin to nice screen on Aya Neo 2 with VRR.

I'm seriously doubting 8tf is real, but if it is, that's impressive for sure.
But under $1000? I thought they said they understood it had to be competitive with steam deck? 999 is not. And if it's premium, it needs an oled screen.
It needs to be $599.
