A gaming PC, no less than half as powerful as a contemporary (as of release) thousand dollar full sized desktop gaming PC, that's intended to be worn, EG, like (or inside of) a backpack, or a toolbelt, at the waist.

Closes No on April 9 2034 if it hasn't happened.

Took a moment to reflect on what computing will actually be like by 2034... and it's pretty likely that "desktop gaming PC", "wearable PC" and possibly also "Valve" will have completely lost their original meanings.

I feel like every market should have a "N/A on singularity" clause.

Funny that we've had the idiom "all bets are off" for a long time but still bad rental contracts that crushed like a million businesses for no good reason when an unexpected catastrophe occurred.

Dawns on me that any gaming laptop that can drive a VR headset right from boot, for which a back harness is available (or that can, somehow ventilate itself while inside a backpack), would qualify. But laptops currently cannot output to a VR headset right from boot (or, headsets don't emulate flat displays), and Valve has not made a gaming laptop yet. Still feels like the kind of thing they'd do.
