On Thursday, Valve took the wraps off of its new Switch-like portable PC, now dubbed the Steam Deck, confirming that it will begin shipping later this year at a starting price of $399.

The hefty-looking console, which is 11.7 inches long, will launch at three price points, differentiated by built-in storage capacity, SSD speed ratings, and differently tempered glass on its screen. Those particular upgrades will cost $529 (256GB) and $649 (512GB, "anti-glare etched glass"). Both pricier bundles include a carrying case.

All models will include the same AMD-powered combination of Zen 2 CPU and RDNA 2 GPU, the same 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM, and the same 7-inch, 1280x800 touchscreen.
