The SMACH Z hand­held gam­ing con­so­le makes PC gam­ing enthu­si­asts’ dreams come true, enab­ling them to play high-end games natively on an open, x86 based ultra-por­ta­ble hand­held-sized device in bril­li­ant 1080p defi­ni­ti­on, or even 4K UHD when using an exter­nal screen con­nec­ted via Dis­play­Po­rt. The open­ness and com­pa­ti­bi­li­ty of the SMACH Z is a key dif­fe­ren­tia­tor for this plat­form, as it not only sup­ports nati­ve PC games and ser­vices such as Steam, GOG, Ori­gin, Itchio, Battle.net, and UPlay but also strea­ming ser­vices such as Play­Sta­ti­on Nowand any other PC-com­pa­ti­ble ser­vices. Even the ear­liest games can be play­ed wit­hout rest­ric­tions on the SMACH Z, which runs Win­dows 10 or the Linux based SMACH Z OS. On top of all this, it pro­vi­des a tru­ly immersi­ve mul­ti­me­dia expe­ri­ence with hard­ware-sup­port­ed 4K HDR video streaming.

By con­nec­ting a key­board, mou­se and exter­nal dis­play, the SMACH Z turns into a hand­held mobi­le com­pu­ter capa­ble of run­ning all com­mon pro­duc­ti­vi­ty soft­ware offe­rings, inclu­ding ser­vices such as video con­fe­ren­cing thanks to the optio­nal­ly inte­gra­ted 5 Mega­pi­xel camera.

The SMACH Z hand­held con­so­les shown at Tokyo Game Show are powered by the latest gene­ra­ti­on of AMD Ryzen™ Embedded V1000 pro­ces­sors, spe­ci­fi­cal­ly the Ryzen™ Embedded V1605B SoC with AMD Rade­on™ Vega 8 gra­phics. They can be run with Linux or Win­dows 10. All inte­gra­te a 6‑inch 1080p touch screen and a 5 Mega­pi­xel came­ra, up to 16GB of RAM as well as up to 256 GB of SSD sto­rage exten­da­ble via an SD card slot. The exten­si­ve con­nec­ti­vi­ty opti­ons include USB‑C, USB‑A and Micro USB as well as Dis­play­Po­rt and a mini audio jack. For wire­less com­mu­ni­ca­ti­on the con­so­les sup­port WiFi 802.11 b/g/n/d/e/h/i and Blue­tooth v2.1. All in all, the­re are over 20,000 com­pa­ti­ble games available out of the box.

The SMACH Z hand­held con­so­le can be pre-orde­red from the offi­ci­al web shop at a start­ing pri­ce of €629.10, and will be offi­ci­al­ly released in Decem­ber 2018. The first 10,000 orders will be deli­ver­ed pri­or to the mar­ket release date and recei­ve a 10% discount.
