The spec sheet says 1 - 1.6 TF.

Performance could be a concern.

Cons:
- less than half the performance of the Series S in the best case, a quarter in the worst case
- not likely to get hardware level optimizations.
- a lot of games will likely run through the Proton layer which will cut down performance even more.

Pros:
- low resolution
- PC games are very adjustable

1-1.6 is a bit too low IMO.

If you want to get this to play PC games, it won't support the high end games for long. When I buy a console I know I will get 99% of games for the 7-8 year lifespan it has.

What should I expect out of this? 4-5 years, then games that aren't really all that technically demanding.

Still its a nice concept, and I hope its a success, since future models can be even better.
