@ingueferroque Valve did not subsidize the Deck. It's not like a console with exclusives. The Steam Machine will be $999. There's no way it can be less.
@ShaunStromb Except "AI OS" is still an OS, with structure and functions and dependencies. If there's no "power user" mode then it's nothing more than a toy. AI slop is AI slop. this bubble will bust sooner than later and will be begging for all the talented programmers to come back.
@imadbouhafs@NikTek I bet it's nothing more than a demo written specifically for their proprietary ARM that they paid the game devs handsomely for with a strict NDA.
@xchroot Unified CPU & GPU have existed forever. Unless it can efficiently emulate x86/x64 Windows gaming & Win-centric apps are not going anywhere. & with unified everything just more e-waste. No repair or upgrades. need more RAM? buy new PC. Better CPU? Buy a new PC.
@TheMrGromble@k1rallik Not only that, it's a proprietary ARM chip. So unless it can emulate Windows (which will use more resources) they will have a library of about 10 games.
@k1rallik Unless they broke the laws of physics, this is nothing interesting. Gaming laptops have existed forever. Power and cooling are always a problem.
Will it emulate x86 Windows because PC games don't run natively on ARM.
He's trying to sell an AI PC as a gaming PC. Not buying it.
@BlackLabelAdvsr@TimTimboFL You're a clown Jon. That is the price I paid for my home in 2016, at least 50% bigger, 3% interest rate, mortgage is $1200/mo. I can't/won't move because it's too damn expensive.
@BlackLabelAdvsr Mortgage rates were like 3% in 2016. I know, that's when I bought my home, and it has doubled in value in those ten years. My mortgage is $1200/mo, that image shows $2400/mo. My home is also at least 50% bigger. That is the problem. I won't move because it's too damn expensive.
@WallStreetApes Or you can just use a credit card that pays back a small % with every purchase, you're still ahead. I earn 5% back on every purchase when using my CC.
@UziCryptoo Your math ain't mathing. $150k pays about $23k in taxes single / $19k married. For low earners the necessities take up the bulk of their paychecks. For the "rich" ($150k isn't rich), it takes pretty much nothing. Rich made their success off the backs of the working class.
