The tiny Next SBC is an affordable gaming PC with decent performance that fits in the palm of your hand

Next SBC is a pocket-sized gaming PC with Ryzen 7 7840HS and Radeon 780M, reasonably priced at $329.

: The Next SBC is a compact gaming PC combining a Ryzen 7 7840HS CPU and Radeon 780M iGPU, providing decent performance in a palm-sized design. Though unannounced, it's already reviewed by ETA Prime, highlighting its ability to handle demanding games like Doom Eternal at 1080p medium settings. It offers extensive connectivity and three M.2 slots for storage but lacks a case. Expected at a base price of $329, it stands as an attractive offer though pricing and availability are uncertain.

The Next SBC is a surprisingly powerful gaming PC that fits in the palm of your hand. Utilizing a Ryzen 7 7840HS processor with a Radeon 780M iGPU, it comes with either 16GB or 32GB LPDDR5 RAM, providing enough power to rival larger laptops. Its compact size doesn't compromise its capabilities, as evidenced by gaming tests like Doom Eternal achieving 79 fps at 1080p medium settings.

Connectivity and expandability are strong points for the Next SBC. It includes three M.2 slots for storage, supporting up to 4TB, and various ports like USB 3.2, USB 4, HDMI, and more. This impressive array puts it ahead of many larger systems. However, its open design may lead some users to seek a custom case solution to ensure protection and handling comfort.

Despite no official release or pricing confirmation, ETA Prime suggests a starting price of $329 on Indiegogo. This option positions the Next SBC as an appealing choice for gamers looking for portable and cost-effective solutions. While it might not have the latest technology due to its use of an older Phoenix Point APU, it still stands strong in terms of value-for-money gaming performance.
