Dubbed NEN, the mini-PC uses Steam’s own operating system, 6th gen Intel i5 quad-core Skylake processor and NVIDIA GeForce GTX graphics hardware. It has 8GB of RAM but this can be expanded to 16GB.

SteamOS will only display compatible games and has a 1TB hard drive pre-installed, you can ensure you'll be able to load all your favourite games with room to expand with an available M.2 SATA SSD slot.

The press release is short on actual useful information, like price ($999) and shipping date (It is already sold out on Amazon) but it is high on purple prose.

“NEN is the ability to tap into your innate aura, hone it, and utilise it to further yourself. ZOTAC has laid the groundwork for the NEN Steam Machine with the power, dormant and waiting. NEN is not simply a PC turned Steam Machine. It is engineered from the ground up to game with the mechanics of the PC fused with the genetics of console to be the most powerful small form Steam Machine.”

Not having had our innate aura tapped, honed or utilised for a while we have to admit that it would be nice to have it done, if only we can find an attractive Swedish masseuse. But we are not sure what this has to do with gaming.
