Its the Dev kit but specs of the actual console should be comparable no?

Seems these were debunked as fake

Potentially new specs?

That can't be right. It looked to be similar sized to the Wii. No way you get 4 2.5GHz cores and a BluRay player in that....

Specs are for the Devkit :p not the actual WiiU itself. One can only assume the actual specs of the console will be very comparable/similar to the Devkit.

Its fake, it was made before e3. And Wii U doesn't have a HD, it uses flash memory with options of sd card and usb drive expansion.

How is it fake because it was made before E3?

Its the specs of the Devkit not the console as stated in the picture not the actual console

Xbox360 used a MAC G5 as a early beta Devkit IIRC

Check the photos of the console in action most of the photos if not all of the WiiU are of it in a cabinet (with possibly a MAC/PC (Devkit) powering the screens not the actual console itself)

looks quite impressive, they'll be able to get a lot of good gaming out of it. no intention of getting it, will stick with 720/PS4, but looks good and will help put the pressure on the other two so we'll get better consoles and better value.

The controller?

I assume he means the machine itself. It's not that much taller than than the Wii, but it is noticeably longer.

I guess they could fit all that tech if they have foregone a HDD - but that decision is ultimately a stupid one.

    • I'm hoping with the Surface Pro 12, I can use either USB-C for my Xreal One Pro glasses. With my Surface Pro 11 OLED X Elite, I have to plug them into the top port. The bottom port will power it, but nothing shows on the screen. Maybe it's my setting. When I plug in the glasses, I have it output only to the glasses. So maybe I need to turn on both displays with it in the top port, then switch the glasses to the bottom port and set it to output only to the glasses. And then hopefully Windows remembers the settings for either the top port and bottom port (one of the awesome features of Windows where it remembers the exact configuration when plugging in external monitors.
    • Forgive my ignorance, but the only difference I see here is that a USB-A is now a USB-C, so there are two of them. For the modern age (and I'd argue since 2020), most products would now come with USB-C as an option, if not the default. Display, charging, devices, etc on TWO connectors, sometimes all combined! So having 2 of those powerful ports is great for something this size! Meanwhile my Surface Pro (5) has a single USB-A port which I cannot even get display out to, instead relying on some Surface Connect dock which I don't have. That is a poor experience, not to mention expensive and not compatible with other devices. Thank God USB-C is mainstream!
    • wow. that color finally comes to Surface Pro. was always a little jelly when a friend had the sandstone Surface Laptop. I wonder how different this dune is from the sandstone. I'll be getting the dune version. always thought black and platinum were a little boring. I'll still have access to my blue Surface Pro 11 as it'll be a hand-me-down.
    • Looks a very subjective aren't they!? I like its simple design. I love the way Apple designs their products with function over form, minimalization, and simplicity over cluttered complex designs. Many, not all, of their products follow this trend, and the device becomes a tool rather than dominating the space. I do not however like their OS. I have never bought a Apple product, and while I'd consider the Neo for my wife, I am hoping there are better alternatives out there when her failing MacBook Pro 2017 finally stops. Fischer-Price is famously plastic, garish, and poorly made. Basically you're describing the Window Laptops the Neo competes against! This is how product design should be, and what Apple have often followed in recent years: https://tenprinciples.design/
    • Isn't that true for every codec? I remember having to buy a PCI MPEG-2 decoder card just so I could play DVDs on my computer back in the late 90s. AV1 support is still fairly new.
