The xi3 piston is a steam box looking device they are branding as a console. It will be released November 29 "Black Friday". It will feature a quad core 3.2ghz trinity amd apu most likely a a8 model and a 128gb ssd and a slot for a data 6gbps hardrive and asd card slot. It comes with a hefty $1000 price tag. Overall its pretty overpriced but its not much worse than the x51 alienware computers.

Most likely something like steamos, but since steam is is coming the only appeal to this is for non PC gamers with money to waste or for its small form factor.

Still ideal for me due to being so small, I can see this working once the price comes down.

You must login or register to view this content.. Is the smallest case I know of and with the 500w gold PSU it has you can run a 77w i5 and a 760 easily. I mean its maybe 2-3 steam boxes big and has much more features
