From reading on ResetEra the new chip means the unit could be capable of up to PS3 emulation, which may suddenly make it a much more appealing purchase for some.

I think the lack of specs is most troubling aspect.
Is this thing a beast worthy of the asking price or a complete rip-off?

Surely knowing the abilities of the machine is crucial information for customers.

I still can't quite believe that we're gonna see a new Atari console! I'd love for it to do really well... we'll see!

I can't believe that so long after the unveil and so close to launch we still don't have a clue what it is and not a single game has been unveiled.

I'm surprised a dev or insider hasn't leaked specs yet either.

It looks like they've just switched specs. I'm guessing they're using off the shelf stuff so don't actually have to hammer down the final specs until a little before launch.

I'd be surprised if this ever gets a European release. It'll be dead on arrival in the US.

They've shown off the ~~console~~. I have to say I love it, but I can't see this thing taking off.

That said if you want a nice looking cheap PC then this might be worth a shot TBH.
