It’ll be showing off a PC at CES next month that it says “takes aim at the high-end of the market”. Including both Windows and Steam OS, it’ll also have a “full-size liquid cooling solution, up to a 700W power supply, and advanced airflow thermal management”. No word on the specs that matter; that’ll wait for CES.
But for $1500 (well, they’re quoting $1469), it had want to be pretty damn powerful.
