The gaming landscape in Spain welcomes a new contender: Playnix, a computer that seeks to combine the flexibility of a PC with the comfort of a console. Inspired by the concept of the Steam Deck and future Steam Machines, this system runs a customized Linux distribution similar to SteamOS. Its creators claim it surpasses the performance of the PS5 and Xbox Series X, matching the level of the future PS5 Pro, with the ability to run Cyberpunk 2077 at stable 4K and 60 FPS.
AMD Components and a Case with Personality 🎮
Playnix's technical bet is based on AMD hardware, guaranteeing native compatibility with most titles thanks to the x86 architecture. The company assures that its configuration allows running demanding games without compromises, although the real novelty lies in its chassis. Manufactured using 3D printing, it allows users to customize the design, but they warn that small imperfections inherent to the process may appear. It is not a factory finish, but a nod to artisanal manufacturing.
The PS5 Pro Hides, but the 3D Printer Doesn't Lie 🖨️
Let no one get carried away: Playnix promises more power than a PS5 Pro, but its 3D-printed case reminds us that this is not a Sony console. Sure, if your Cyberpunk 2077 runs at 4K and 60 FPS but you see a slight line on the cover, it's not a graphical bug, it's the unique touch of your machine. In the end, you'll have a gaming PC with Linux and a case that looks like it came out of a craft workshop, but at least you won't have to sell a kidney to pay for it.
