Who would be interested in one of these? Would you get the best of BOTH worlds?
Taken from Engadget … Evidence that Valve is working on a portable Switch-like device that will allow Steam users to play part of their game library on the go is starting to build up, with a new report from Ars Technica offering some potentials details on the project. Citing multiple sources “familiar with the matter,” the publication says Valve has been working on an all-in-one PC with gamepad controls “on and off for some time.” Taking a page from devices like the Aya Neo, the device will reportedly include an AMD or Intel system-on-a-chip while most likely coming with Linux. At least one prototype is said to be wider than the Nintendo Switch and features the usual assortment of console buttons, triggers, and joysticks. The prototype also includes a touchscreen and a Steam Controller-like touchpad.
Like the Switch, the device will include a USB-C port to allow you to connect it to an external display. Ars couldn’t find out if Valve plans to release multiple variants of the device that will feature different components. It also didn’t have anything substantial to say about price, noting current global chip shortages could make it impossible for Valve to sell a device anywhere near the $299 the Nintendo Switch costs. It says Valve could release the device by the end of the year, though supply constraints could affect that timeline.
