Looks amazing, if real of course.

Serious question.

If Microsoft can get this power out of a portable laptop, then why can't Nintendo put this much power into their next console?

Could you imagine a Switch console with a 3070ti? I'm throbbing at the thought of it.

Can only imagine the price lol

 

[Wandering Leopard]

I'll play guess the price - this comes in at approx. 2k

Would you buy your 10 year old kid a 3000€ handheld for throwing it in to the corner after it gets mad on a game?

Because a gaming handheld can exhaust about 15W of power and a 14" laptop can exhaust 70W-80W.

The Surface Studio Laptop with an RTX starts at 1899 gbp

Isn't a mobile 3070Ti equal to a 3060 desktop card in terms of performance?

Depends on a number of factors like how much it's throttled from the dumb super slim form factor.

Would never happen and would be unaffordable due to the premium Nintendo puts on it's hardware, also they only go for outdated tech never top of the line, it's how they make their money.

I expect more.

Easy solution to this. Make the Switch successor with a 14" screen and a huge battery.

This is unfortunately true. I guess Nintendo could up the price of the handheld if it was a lot more powerful. I'd happily spend more money if it resulted in more power.

Then it's no longer a handheld device. You're essentially asking for a Switch laptop. It could work but at the $999+ price Nintendo would likely need to charge for it, it would be an unproven product in the marketplace.

A laptop 3070ti means jack shit.

More than enough for cloud gaming.

The screen features a 16-inch Pixelsense Flow display, showing that touch screen is yet again included along with a refresh rate that can go as high as 165Hz.

And they decided to retain the very thing that makes Surface product so expensive in a device that does not need it. A gaming laptop does not need a touch screen aimed at artists. I am sure gamers are not going to pull out there Surface pen and draw using Krita.
