The developers announced the project last year and first tried to finance it in December. Only then was it called Steam Machine Smach Z and asked for 900,000 euros. The computer was not successful, but Smach did not despair and prepared the second assault on user wallets. Now the device has discarded the Steam Machine prefix and marks the target more modest – 250,000 euros.
The toy also looks entertaining: some traditional buttons were replaced by touchpads with tactile dedication, the touch of a six -inch display supports the Full HD resolution, and the battery will provide about five hours of gameplay.
Smach plans two models: Smach Z and Smach Z Pro. Technical characteristics are as follows:
● Processor: AMD Merlin Falcon RX-421BD (12-15W) SOC with a frequency of 2.1 GHz;
● Built -in video card: Radeon R7 with a frequency of 800 MHz;
● RAM: 4 GB (Smach Z) / 8 GB (Smach Z Pro) DDR4 2133 MHz;
● Constant memory: 64 GB (Smach Z) / 128 GB (Smach Z Pro);
● Wi-Fi 5.0 GHz, Smach Z Pro has an additional 4G LTE;
● Microsd memory card;
● USB 3.0 type C;
● Exit HDMI;
● Bluetooth;
● Front camera 1.3 megapixels (only at Smach Z Pro).
According to the authors, the baby is quite successfully coping with AAA-blockbusters (tests are given for the Smach Z Pro model):
● Metro: Last Light (720p, high settings) – 35 frames per second;
● Company of Heroes 2 (720p, average settings – 25 frames per second;
● Overwatch (720p, average settings) – 30 frames per second;
● Civilization v (1080p, high settings) – 28 frames per second;
● Alien: ISOLATION (720p, ultra settings) – 35 frames per second.
Windows or Linux is used as the operating system, and games are taken straight from your Steam library – everything is like on the usual PC.
In addition, Smach Z is customized: you can hang special overlays for touchpads and turn them into a traditional buttons block.
For the sake of the Kickstarter campaign, special prices are set: 299 euros for the usual Smach Z and 499 euros for Smach Z Pro. There were also limited proposals for 249 and 399 euros, respectively, but they quickly grabbed them. Delivery is valid around the world.
By the way, the fees are quite successful: in the very first hours the company Smach collected almost 200,000 euros, which is already more than in December. Folk financing will last until November 19. Approximate release date Smach Z-April 2017.

Thank you! Do not feed me with bread – give me only in a secret room, sitting on a philosophical stone, in GTA V drive!
PS3 relies on its ultra-well-dried Cell processor and only part of the operations shifts to GPU, which is a cut GeForce 7800GTX as a cut. X360 uses 3 nuclear Xenon with a more traditional PowerPC architecture and ultra-circular ATI GPU with 10 megabytes with an incredibly fast EDRAM memory, which allows the boxing to twist the MSAA games without loss of performance and make a few more cool pieces.
In addition, 360 512MB RAM, and PS3 has 256 MB. Initially, there was also 256 MB in the box, but the notorious cliff Blazhinsky and the Epic Games team, when developing GEars of War, “knocked out” additional 256MB from Microsoft, showing by example the difference and necessity of these.
Sony wanted to protect themselves with the help of complex architecture. So, as everyone loved PS2, Sony hoped to continue this trend and wanted to kill Xbox and MC, by creating an artificial problem of porting games on their platforms. But it was in the perfect world. In our, real, delay in the release of PS3 and a price tag of $ 599 at the start almost killed the Sony itself at the very beginning. They protected not MC from themselves, but themselves from MC and most developers.
They saved the incident with the Red Ring of Death at the box, which greatly shook competitors’ sales and forced buyers to turn to a more expensive, but also more reliable system for those times. Well, everyone knows the further story – the bombing exclusives, PS Plus, “This is for the Players”, all this was crowned with the final victory of Sony in the once -lost war.
So yes, 360 more powerful PS3 in the real world. Sony declared simply the incredible theoretical power of Cell and based on the information available to simple mortal information, this was quite possible. Only here the method that Cell has never used to process 3D graphs, such clusters are used in various farms and super-computers that consider a hefty number or processing any simulations, but not in real-time 3D schedule. As a result, 360 could theoretically weaker, but easier and more understandable.
Well, yes, the smartphone will come for marginals. By the way, Vita was bent from the lack of support from Sony, and not for the absurd reason that you indicated. 3DS will not let you lie.
Yes, what is it about at all? The average smartphone (“5-6) is problematic to put in your pocket so that it does not interfere. Here the same thing who needs it is to attach somewhere in a jacket or backpack.
By the way, I myself most often play the games that once were exclusives of large platforms (PS1, PS2) for one simple reason: their level is on average higher than indie or mobile.
It is cool that on the portable you can already launch full -fledged aaa games. It seems like Nintendo NX will be something like this. How in demand such mini consoles will be?
I even choked on what portable can be discussed if this thing is huge in size due to the screen- you can’t put it in your pocket, you will have to carry with you in a backpack or in a bag, which reduces the convenience of use. Plus the launch of the AAA-IGR on any portable console is pure idiocy-after all, games on porters need to be developed in a special way-remembering that people play them in transport, visiting, in line, etc.D. – That is, there should be an opportunity to either pass quickly level, or interrupt the game at any time. AAA-projects on a PC are designed for another-that you sat down and play it, it is inconvenient to interrupt during an important cut-scene or shootout, or during the battle with the boss, which you almost finished off, only because you came up with your turn or you came to your stop. Well, yes, there is a pause, but how much energy it will eat in this mode? There are many questions.
Well, a lot of games on a mobile phone worthy? Some farms and ports? Vitka, although it has not completely died, but is already barely breathing, this is true. But 3DS is more alive than all living things.
The road around the city often takes from 40 minutes to 1.5 hours and this is certainly enough time to play. As for the games on Vitka, by pressing the PS button, the game turns off and stands on a “pause” at any moment in order to continue from the same place where it stopped. In this case, you have a short game session or not it does not matter.
Uh -huh, compared sales, Vita has 13 million, which is not so hot, and 3DS has 60. Nintendo quite dominates in this market, but the rest … hmm and besides Vita nothing comes to mind and does not come.
I can’t imagine such games without a big television. I can’t understand why this is all these small screens fonts flying at the speed of the sound of the battery.

Due to different architecture, it is problematic to compare them. There, in order not to go far for an example, in the same first RDR 360 he issued a much more worthy picture than PS3. Everything depended on the game.
The meaning is only in a large database of games, it is stated that they will cling directly from Steam. Therefore, if you are one of those who constantly postpone the moment of passing Indi Games on Akke until better times, then these times are not so far away, if technology is so briskly along the path of minimizing hardware sizes. You see, in five years, it will already be possible to play in some AAA and play in the nalador.
I have already noticed that you have problems with care. Read. Who knows? Maybe even suddenly.
