Valve is making a Nintendo Switch style portable gaming PC called SteamPal?

[froggyboy604]

There are a bunch of credible leaks all pointing towards Valve releasing a Nintendo switch style portable gaming PC for playing your Steam games on the go. In this video I discuss everything we know so far. It seems like it is codenamed "SteamPal" and the controllers might be called "Neptune". It might be targeted for Q4 2021 with an AMD APU called "Aerith" or "Van Goh" said to be powered by Zen2 core architecture and Navi2 (RDNA2) integrated graphics at 9W. Quadcore with SMT. Possibly $399 target price and 8/9 inch screen.

It would be interesting to see an Handheld PC made by Valve

Can they really make it with so much shortages going on? Seems like a bad time to throw anything new out on the market.

Maybe Valve can pay more money to factories to more quickly train new workers to build computer parts, so the shortage does not affect Valve as much. But, the price of a Valve Steampal handheld Gaming PC could cost more money if Valve invest more of their money on factories to build PC parts.

I agree It would be nice to have more handheld console competitors.

The PSP sold almost as many units as the GBA. The PS Vita on the other hand…

I think the PSP was popular since I seen a lot of games for them, and people playing with them. But, the PSP Vita was not as popular.

Sorry yeah that was what I meant. The vita didn't do so well.

The PSP came out too early, in my opinion. If Sony did something similar again, I'm sure it would be quite popular

You mean the Vita right? Sony messed up with expensive proprietary memory cards, mismanagement and poor advertising.

If you don’t know what you want to do with the console, how are the customers supposed to know?
