A bit too sparse on details.

- No price

- No indication for whether the CPU/GPU/RAM/SSD are upgradable or all soldered together on the board.

- "4K gaming at 60 FPS with FSR" but doesn't mention what kind of games it can run at that quality.

- No performance benchmarks, or mention of what the equivalent retail CPU/GPU to their custom one is.

At face value this seems like a $500-600 PC, and that's also the price it would be able to compete with consoles at.

Consoles frequently get better performance than an equivalent pc because companies optimize for that specific hardware.

Frame becoming a mainstream device (compared to any random combination of components) might make a difference that way.
