You won’t be playing The Witcher 3 with the $300 portable Steam Machine

The Valve-approved Steam Machine PCs have started going on sale, and one hardware manufacturer is already planning to jump in with a Game Boy-style handheld take on these console-like gaming computers.

At the Gamescom convention in Cologne, Germany last week, a company called Smach revealed that its Smach Zero portable SteamOS device — once known as the Steamboy — will launch in late 2016. But the hardware startup plans to start selling the Smach Zero for $300 on November 10 of this year. That’s an especially long time to wait for a PC gaming system. But the truth is that even if you got the system today, it wouldn’t come close to most gaming desktops and laptops on the market right now.
