Just quoting myself, I knew it was never going to be anywhere near Steam Deck in pricing, the writing was on the wall. That tier of hardware is so much more expensive to produce, why you think Valve had such a tough time getting even a Zen 2 chip down to $400-$600?

These handhelds will be your gaming lowest common denominator.

It's going to be two models, one coming in at 650+ that will be Steam Deckish performance, and one 999.99. Seems obvious.

8TF is a deceptive marketing term that is extremely misleading. It's actually less than half of that.

Will be 699 in the UK....think I'm gonna grab one as a gamepass handheld.

Serious doubt on that. Probably 800+. We'll see.

A better question is: is the market big enough? Most of the time the answer is no.

"Aiming" under can actually end up being 1099 too, when you fail to hit the goal. lol
Which 999 would anyway mean for us Europeans. The RX 7900 XT for $999 being 1149€ here.

599 - 256gb
699 - 512gb
I'm day one if it's that.
That would be a killer price right...?
Buy it exclusively from a big high street retailer in the UK.

8TF for a portable system at 1K with those specs is not that bad. Not good but not bad either.1000 dollars for a portable console
It should be in par with any notebook with similar specs, and you can alway connect it to the TV. Or not?

You can get something a third of that price if you are just going to GamePass.

Reps from AMD and Xbox will be talking at the event, I think this is sort of a big deal. Not something to be lumped in with the likes of the Aya Neo etc.

My guess is the base Z1 model will perform roughly on par the Steam Deck on GPU-limited scenarios (newer games) but a lot better on CPU-limited ones (emulation, older games at high framerates). Asus is probably going to charge for the base Z1 512GB model about as much as Valve charges for their 512GB Steam Deck, around 650€, their case being that it has a better screen and it's not limited to Steam games.
The Z1 Extreme model is anyone's guess, at this point. If Asus charges >1000€ I think it's a failed product and it will sell about as much as the AYA Neo, GPD Win or AOKZoe. If it's 800€ or less then many people will be willing to pay for it for sure.

Well, EU and UK prices include VAT, so roughly 20% more (varies by country of course).
US prices don't include taxes and those range from 0 to 12% or so depending on state/city/county.

Me. Can't even get a Steam Deck, as Valve for some reason doesn't release any of their hardware in Norway.

We need a name. I’d buy this for $999.
Was expecting more men of culture to arrive with that bait.
Are these inflated rdna3 tflops or rdna 2 8 tflops? If they are really the equivalent of rdna2 8tflops than that is an impressive titlecard for a handheld the issue as always will be bandwidth and heat throttling. The tflop number is just a marketing trick sadly it will not output at that peak due to heat and it is severely bandwidth starved to the point it willl not even perform close to a series s with its 4tflop gpu.
Just looked at the benchmarks its running far cry 6 at low settings at 60fps at 720p upscaled with frs....so yeah its basically capable of playing the ps4 gen games at lowish medium settings at max ~900p not quite the massive leap from steamdeck and next gen console that the tflops imply.

Leaks showing this at 699 usd. Pretty crazy pricing IMO. Only 50 more from 512 model.

do not tempt fate do not contrain Wonder Woman's thighs do not do not
Thats actually pretty insane.
When they said under 1000 i was sure they were gonna do some 899 shit.
699 for the range topper is actually pretty damn good.

It is hard to believe that this will cost 699$ and has 8TF of RDNA3.
anything above $599 is a
At the rumored $699 price, that seems a significantly better value than the 512Gb Steamdeck.

Reverse groomer.
699 dollars is actually quite based. this is starting to make the 512gb steamdeck look obsolete. Just put holoiso on it and you've gotten a steam deck pro (w/o the touchpads, fancy thumbsticks or gyro)

699 for high end version?

Yep, thought they were going to come in at $999. $700 is very good price for what's being offered.
Battery is the remaining big question.
Edit: It is a shame they don't have touchpad, gyro and only 2 back buttons. Especially for older games that don't have gamepad controls or have iffy gamepad controls, those options are great.
Gyro is quite nice for aiming in shooters too if you configure it right.
