(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I'm a backer of it and want to play some of my Steam/PC games on the go without streaming. I think it is a great concept and hope it becomes a reality. Especiallly so i can play PCSX 2 and other games like SoRR on a 6" screen.

$100 bet this will be a failure/waste of money like the nvidia shield

Well, the project already reached its funding goal in 48 hours, so it will become reality.

Shield wasn't a failure, besides that only plays smartphone based ARM mobile games.

SMACH Z is totally different and will play full blown x86 programs/games.

Well, their prototype machine build quality already looks good, so the final product is going to likely be better.

Here is a render of the final design: You must login or register to view this content.

Seems interesting but with pretty much any kickstarter project. I'll believe it when it's retail.

Just because it got funded doesn't mean it will get done. More projects on kickstarter fail to ever see the light of day than the ones that do. Not to mention the picture you posted doesn't look like a prototype. That looks like something that was done up in photoshop.

This sounds like the Coleco chameleon

That image i posted is a render of the final design, not the prototype! The prototype is the one you can see on the campaign page on their kickstarter... It is bulky and ugly.

The company seem legit and keep backers updated frequently, so i think it will see the light of day.

You have really high hopes for anything kickstarter then. None of that means dick squat.

Well, I've backed a different project before on KS and that product was a success and real!

I only back projects that show evidence throughout the whole campaign and don't just back one blindly.

This one has all the makings of being an actual product.

If it doesn't happen (which is slim) i will snap my gaming PC gfx card in half with video evidence (980ti)

Their claims alone show that this isn't going to be real. They claim a 5 hour battery life. One should assume that is under load since the whole point of this is to game on. That just isn't realistic.
