My understanding was the Frame uses Lepton **or** Fex. Lepton for android arm games, FEX for intel x86_64 PC games. I'm not aware of many (any?) android+intel exclusives that would use both. Happy to be corrected if wrong though! Won't find out any time soon after being waitlisted though!

True, but consent always makes things feel different.

Steam Machines flopped because everyone with the badge thought it was a licence to print money and marked up mini PCs to the point where it made no sense to not buy a dedicatd gaming laptop instead.

We live in a very different world with 1080p capable mini-pcs abounds and SteamOS/Bazzite showing how a gaming OS should be.

I would love to see them sell the controller and mini PCs through hardware partners that get that this is an opportunity to shift units, not mark up, but I'm not optimistic, and if I save $200 by not having a little steam badge so be it.
