Haha I couldn't resist my first response.

It could be cool and I value that Steam takes risks, but this looks like an inferior knock off switch. The button placement looks horrible. How is pressing B comfy? The duel track pads are also funky.

Steam controller felt pretty good so maybe this will surprise me.

This was so bizarre.

The Era thread literally started out as a random leak.
Then 5 minutes later, someone posts an official link.
Then 5 minutes after that, someone posts the official press release.  

So that was just weird.

The button placement on this is so bad. Why is the B button falling off the side?

In theory, this should have been a rich man's Nintendo Switch, but it doesn't look that way at all.

Having a small part of my steam library like this, seems really cool, but I don't know.

It's on the low end, but how high of a resolution do you need for a handheld?

Switch is 6.2 inches verse this at 7.

Switch is 1280x720.

So the pixels on steam dock are seemingly larger and people complain all the time about switch's pixel size.

I feel like people complain more about the docked resolution that the screen itself, but I don't follow that much.

Looks and sounds pretty good! Some interesting technology and you can use it as a normal pc as well.

Way too expensive. I can get a ps5 for this

Steam sales though, and portability though.

Yeah psn sales are quite good. Yes, not steam sales level yet, but they are pretty awesome.

Portability is awesome, but it just too expensive IMO. For me to consider this it should be cheaper.

Is this powered by Windows? Should we expect MS games to be on this?
