The team behind EmuDeck, a project that started off to provide easy emulation on Steam Deck / SteamOS have announced their own hardware with the Bazzite Linux powered EmuDeck Machines.
I’ve bought a few Gmktek Intel N97 mini-pcs on Amazon (US) for around $200 usually. So far I’ve only used them for htpc @ 1080p but N97 GPU has a higher boost than N100 GPU so I imagine should do alright for lots of emulators too.
The idea is that this is a console-like device that you take out of the box and “plug and play” for those who don’t know how or can’t be bothered to install an OS. Kinda like a Steam Deck.
It’s about $350 for the base model, during the “early bird” special.
No.
Is a basic mini PC with similar specs much cheaper? I am out of the loop.
The specs for these two models, for reference:

Seems that way, and the EM2 is significantly more expensive.

Presumably it also supports the EmuDeck project.
