OS: Windows 10 home 64 bit

Battery: 2 x 4900mAh batteris at 3.8v . Total of 9800mAh - 37.24Wh (!!!)

Rumble: Features two vibration motors

Design: Designed by a team that won the Red Dot Award

Weight: 460g

Width: 162mm

Charging: PD 2.0, capable of charging the WIN 2 from zero to 50% in 30 minutes

Dramatically better battery life, dramatically better CPU, dramatically more games (thanks to Windows), a lot more storage, and it's a little laptop to boot! This is the greatest portable ever made! It sucks, but Switch is done if this is $400 or less. RIP Nintendo.

Update: There is now a Switch emulator being worked on, and it's far along. If this can run that, Switch could seriously face some competition.

The price is $700. I guess the Switch can breath a sigh of relief then.

Looks dam cool though to be fair.

God you gotta be the most butthurt fanboy out there op, post after post about your crushing hope that the switch will fail, it’s so pathetic....

And no the switch isn’t failing and no a 700$ Portable pc without Mario, Pokémon and Zelda isn’t a switch killer:p

The 8 bit guy had loads of problems with the original. So hope the second iteration is better.

Well that thread needed to be lock because it was a complete joke, just like this one. This thing is a PoS that is all that needs to be said. This thing will not touch even one day of sales of the Switch if it is lucky!

It looks like crap, that video above shows 8bit guy struggling to get even Mario running full screen. Good luck emulating switch when it cant even do NES properly.

I would advise you to remove the mentioning of the emulator.

Anyway, no. Not a Switch killer.

Lol, no

And pretty sure the other one was locked because it was over a month old. And i don't think bringing up emulators is going to help this thread's chances

Correct on both counts. Also, when a thread is locked, it's done so for a reason--making a exact duplicate thread isn't allowed. We apologize for not being clear on that the first time. It's best to let this topic go; another attempt at a 3rd thread will result in a strike.
