Today we want to talk about a rather unique project, the Smach Z aims to bring the benefits of Steam and the video game on the PC platform, to the palm of our hands. So that we can enjoy our favorite games without having to worry too much about the location, and we are talking precisely about a portable console, a genre that has been a bit forgotten lately, since the new generation of desktop consoles and the market Mobile video games are the ones that are taking the vast majority of the video game cake.
This console has an AMD SoC with specifications designed for low consumption. However, what we are going to worry about is compatibility. Well, the project developers promise that there will be 10.000 video games from the launch of the console, directly in our Steam library. Another big problem is the battery, we do not know how much it will offer, or at least we doubt it, since developers offer up to 5 hours of uninterrupted gameplay.
To move through the levels we will have two touch controls on the left and right, accompanied just below a joystick on the left and a cross button on the right. In terms of design, perhaps it reminds us a lot of a PSP.
Let's go with the numbers, a CAMD's PU, the Merlin Falcon, clocked at 2,1GHz. Almost as important, the GPU would be a Radeon R7 also from AMD. As for RAM, they will offer a model with 4GB and another model «Pro»With 8GB. The same happens with the total storage, 64 GB for the normal version, up to 128GB for the "Pro" version. As for the screen, 6-inch Full HD.
In terms of connectivity, Bluetooth and WiFi for all, 4G LTE for the Pro version and a 1,3MP camera. The device has been released as not in Kickstarter, and it has already reached $ 211,00. The official launch is expected in April 2017, the base model for $ 306 and the Pro for $ 438.
That good looking!
