Im a Playstation gamer, and this is quite fasinating!..

Maybe if they play their cards right, i might look into this mini console next to my Ps4.

This mini computer is a great idea and in my opinion is the path consoles should take. being modular is awesome. instead of buy a new system every 5 years we could just simply build upon our current one.

the question is.. can it run crysis or battlefield

@Matt_Wetner It'll run Linux, most likely Ubuntu.  So the answer for Battlefield and Crysis will almost certainly be a big "no" from EA.

But OpenGL is more powerful than DirectX in nature, so it's not limited in that sense.

@naryanrobinson @Matt_Wetner True, but maybe wine could be improved to make Windows games run on Linux WITHOUT ea having to port it ;)

Something you might want to mention is the form factor doesn't support graphics cards or even mobile GPUs, just integrated graphics.


Making it about as useful for gaming as a netbook.

Fascinating, very powerful for a small device. I bet it'll be pricey given the specs details. I always thought Maxwell had blue eyes, they looked green here, maybe it was the screen, anyway this should increase pc sales.
