The variant with 1 TB of storage will cost $999 (later $1,199), with 2 TB of storage it already reaches $1,150 (later $1,350), and the top-of-the-line model, with 32 GB RAM and 2 TB of capacity, will go for $1,299 (later $1,499).

This console stands out for making use of an 8-inch IPS panel with a Full HD resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels (283 PPI) with a maximum brightness of 380 nits and that covers 100% of the sRGB color space. This comes to life through an AMD Ryzen 7 6800U @ 6nm processor from TSMC, which means having access to a configuration with 8 cores and 16 threads under the AMD Zen3 + architecture at Base / Turbo frequencies of 2.70 / 4.70 GHz and an iGPU quite decent, the well-known AMD Radeon 680M , which is capable of offering 768 Stream Processors @ 2.20 GHz .

This CPU would be accompanied by a configuration of 16 GB / 32 GB of LPDDR5 @ 6400 MHz RAM, along with 512 GB, 1 TB or 2 TB of internal storage. All this is seasoned with the Windows 11 or SteamOS operating system together with an RGB LED lighting system that can be configured in various lighting modes.
