This could be incredible, but I hope they don't fumble it like the Steam Machine.

I assume it will be playable offline. But will have to go online to get all your games and updates. I also wonder how many games you can put on at once for offline play...

I think its a little different. But similar... And built so that you dont have to change anything, I guess...

>_>

Given the track record, I wouldn't trust it although I'd love to see something like that.

Don't see why this is going to get any traction.
Nintendo succeeds with handhelds because they reach a targeted demographic that no other hardware manufacturer reaches.

Makes steam games portable, which could be good. One reason my friend and I usually get Roguelikes on our switches is because we can take it to work and play. It could help steam since it makes steam game Moten portable. Or easily portable without lugging a full laptop around...

I can see this going to way of the NVidia Shield (which, unless I am remembering incorrectly, Valve tried to copy as well). Very niche, and probably not successful enough to warrant any significant change in the market.
