What the hell do you think ML TTS is genius?
November 13, 2025 at 7:49 AM
Absolutely fair. And I tell you one thing for certain. If it is at that price point it puts serious pressure on Microsoft for whatever it is they’re planning next. They’ve already spoke highly about it being a premium device. So it’s going to have to outperform things like this drastically
November 12, 2025 at 10:26 PM
What I will say though is that if it is $400-500 that’s an instant buy for me. Without hesitation
November 12, 2025 at 10:20 PM
Like I said. Let’s see. Nobody would be happier to be wrong than myself. I can’t see 400 personally - that’s just my opinion

Without a doubt there’s some aggressive cost saving choices (8gb vram, no TB/USB4, 512gb 2230 M.2 for example) so sure they’re driving it down. But we’ll see

I agree completely. And if anyone can surprise me with price it’s valve. They did with the baseline steam deck so I’m hopeful if a little pessimistic. I think $500 may be dreamland personally. But we’ll see. In Gabe we trust. There’s certainly some cost shaving decisions involved here

And this is 6x as powerful as one. it has a custom Zen4 SOC - I’m sorry but it’s just not going to be anywhere near that. There’s no way this device is less than $500

Bookmark this if you wish. Don’t get me wrong nobody would be happier to be wrong. But you’re setting yourself up for disappointment

It really isn’t going to be
November 12, 2025 at 9:23 PM
What on earth are you smoking? An OLED SteamDeck is £479 - you think this is going to be cheaper than that at 6x the performance? Deluded
November 12, 2025 at 9:22 PM
That is very true with regards to anti-cheat. And hopefully the release of these products will encourage developers to do that work where they’ve largely neglected to up to now
November 12, 2025 at 9:20 PM
It takes zero effort from the devs
November 12, 2025 at 9:07 PM
Software support? They failed before. Then took 10 years developing proton so that they don’t need any help from Microsoft. Nothing is new here. Steam decks been working off this fine. What know how would they need from MS? The hard work has already been done for compatibility

Nice article Jez thank you. I think Digital Foundry confirmed it was not a MicroSD express. Just a normal one. But the SSD is an M.2 2230 - with space for a 2280 - so very easily upgradable which is excellent news

Given what you know, what would be your guess in price?

Plus. You know. Pokemon

I am very humbled. Hope it’s not a waste of your time 😅 it’s not perfect but it’s only my third ever talk so I was happy with it
November 11, 2025 at 1:12 PM
I apologise in advance 😅

But seriously thank you for all your hard work. Always really appreciated your excellent documentation on FusionCache as well as your support in GitHub issues and discussions around HybridCache 🙏

Disgusting

This is beyond stupid

Can’t wait for Pep to rip that out of him and turn him in to a 3-yard-pass machine
November 9, 2025 at 12:23 PM
Which is good. Because he did a far better job than I did (of course) 😅

Jody is a legend. Such a nice dude too. FusionCache very much inspired my own talk on the subject

At this rate. Xbox might not even exist by the time it comes out
November 8, 2025 at 2:30 PM
That’s actually wild
November 8, 2025 at 11:19 AM
So awful isn’t it. I downloaded it yday for meeting with a client who insisted on using teams. This morning it opened on startup. Insisted it needed an update perpetually. And I couldn’t disable start because it apparently needed said update. Never uninstalled anything faster. Useless product

Thank you
