#12This is a nice bit of marketing but... is it real? There's no actual information on the page, no links to any other pages/sites, nowhere to buy it, and no mention of "coming soon" or any sort of expected release date.
> Enjoy smooth and fluid high-frame-rate gameplay at up to 240fps for ALL games, with support for 240Hz output on 4k displays
It does sound like a very well-executed joke.

#13Suck it Apple. The M1 is totally incapable of delivering this kind of heat regardless of workload. (Apologies for injecting humor on what is clearly an otherwise serious posting)
The KFConsole is obviously intended to be humorous so I think you’re fine.

Well it's safe to say that KFC's marketing department got you exactly where they want you to be at.

#15Is it a peltier-based cooler? (Really cold side and really hot side) Then this would make slightly more sense.
The nuc alone pulls 180w and any graphics card that would hit 240fps at 4k would pull 150-280w. I would imagine it just ducts the hot exhaust air through a basket.

#16Another half-hearted product attempt with no boundaries pushed.
With a Core i9 they have the hardware to fry the chicken, not only to keep it warm.
No wonder Apple keeps shoveling money into their bank vault.

#17I don't know why anyone who games would like to eat fried chicken while gaming. You have to eat it with your hands, and it's so greasy that you need to wash your hands afterward or risk covering your mouse and keyboard in grease.

#18Reminds me of the Acorn RISC PC "Rocket ship" pizza oven module:

This was shown at trade shows as an optional module for the expandable case, but wasn't a real product.
There's a couple of pictures of the full Rocket ship here: https://twitter.com/ItsBBP/status/1327563474550059009

The target is essentially this joke, but gone so far as to circle around and is no longer completely ironic:
