|
 |
Kick Starter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/smachteam/smach-z-the-first-handheld-steam-machine
Steam in your pocket:
We love handheld consoles. Now that smartphones and tablets are overtaking handhelds, we need more than ever good games to play, real games for gamers, to be played on a dedicated gaming platform.
Valve has opened a new Steam dimension with Steam Machines: Now you can choose if you play your favorites games on your PC, your TV, or your SMACH Z. Discover a new way of playing Steam games!
We have chosen AMD’s powerful embedded low-powered SoC with its blazing fast performance and power efficiency on portable devices. Thanks to their support for SMACH Z, the dream of playing your Steam games on the go is on its way to coming true.
"We love the project, it's pretty amazing! When we first met the SMACH Team we were immediately on board to help support them. SMACH Z will bring an exciting new dimension to Steam games." - Stephen Turnbull, AMD's Director of embedded product marketing.
-----------------------------------------------------------
More than 1000 games out of the box. And you don't need to purchase them again, just load and play any game on your Steam Library compatible with Steam OS.
More than 5 hours of battery life. Plus the option to add extra batteries to double the duration.
Powerful enough to play any game on the market: Portal 2, DOTA, Left 4 Dead 2, Team Fortress 2, SOMA, Civilization V, Metro: Last Light Redux, Borderlands 2, The Witcher 2, ...
Haptic controls: We're following the Steam Controller standard, it will surprise you! And if you are more old-school gamer, take a look to our Magic Z-Pads!
-----------------------------------------------------------
Specs:
We have been looking for a good balance between performance, cost and power efficiency, that will permit to play the majority of current games in Steam awesomely well. Take a look:
AMD embedded G-Series SoC (formerly codenamed "Steppe Eagle") with "Jaguar"-based CPU and GCN-based Radeon™ graphics with 2 GB of dedicated GPU RAM.

They will never be able to fit all that into a handheld device and with a battery that will actually endure for more than 3 hours and without that thing being heavy as a brick 
And honestly, why don't they just use a 720p display? I'd rather have a nice 720p disply without ghosting, good darks and nice colors instead of a cheap 1080p that burns away all the energy 
And delivery in october 2016  yes yes sureeee

If this isn't bullshit and doesn't end up costing more than the last iPhone for enough battery life to play one game of War Thunder at each charge, it could be quite an awesome thing.
That's one hell of a load of "Ifs" though. Especially for something that's been living in vaporwave purgatory for the last three years.

... Sounds good idea, but how they are gonna pack this all into that tiny shit with good battery life. Sounds also unreal that this kind of AMD SOC can play modern games at fullHD even at lowest settings.
