Valve’s Steam Machine launched with a considerably hefty price tag and pretty middling specs, so it’s no surprise that PC builders and gaming enthusiasts have resorted to building their own. The latest entry in this string of DIY projects is something a little different: a pint-sized version powered by the RedMagic 11S Pro.
ETA Prime’s video details the process of putting it together, as well as how the setup fares in terms of performance. The YouTuber refers to the phone as the RedMagic 11 Pro S throughout the video, but that’s neither here nor there. More importantly, this handset was purpose-built for gaming, boasting a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Leading Version SoC. The model used in the video comes with 16GB of RAM. For heat management, it leverages a hybrid system composed of an active cooling fan and a fluorinated liquid loop.
