To be honest, I expected RAM prices would push back the release date. But AMD would know more about than I would.

Looks like they’re using standard rechargeable AAs, so very replaceable.

Oh, I hadn't even noticed that. That's one thing I like about the XBox controller I have, takes standard batteries. The playstation controllers, though, those have built-in batteries with about a 2 year lifespan as best I can tell, which SUCKS. Thanks for pointing that out!

I think otacon239 is remembering the controllers for the Steam Frame, which have an AA each

The Steam Controller was listed as an ~8Wh Li-ion
