Esperó que aunque no salga el la encuentren la forma de salir al mercado, ya que me dijeron que si el ks no triunfaba poco había que hacer.

Some answers:
Q: Will there be add ons? Like people wanting to add on the retro z-pads, magic z-pads, battery, sd card?
A: The rewards are packs of different items, you can't add specific items to a reward pack. However, if you have ideas for specific combination of items that we should have, we can create new rewards. We're open to your proposals.

Q: Really hoping the stretchgoal will be met. Otherwise I won't have much free space on my regular model.
A: We know, the important ones are the easiest to achieve. If we don't meet the goals it doesn't mean that we won't include these features, in that case we will try to find additional private funds to include that features, it's only that we can't promise it at this point... but I'm almost sure we will be able to achieve it
---
Q: What is the actual GPU being used?
A: The GPU has 2GB of dedicated memory
---
Q: I really hope those Z pads are sold either as add-ons or separately. They certainly seem neat, but the first package including them is so expensive.
A: When the console will be released to the market yes, it will be possible to buy them separately.
---
Q: Will the ram be updatable or will it be soldered or something? Cheers!
A: Actually it would be possible to upgrade a SMACH Z RAM from 4Gb to 8Gb since there are two RAM slots of 4Gb. But we're not planning to offer this "upgrading service" at the moment.
---
Q: How are we going to type? Touchscreen?
A: Yes, you can use the touchscreen or the touchpad like in the Steam Controller.
---
Q: Just hope, that this project gets the extra oomph needed from press, viral and steam community. I am hoping for the 4 Mio stretch goal to have the possibility to install Windows on this neat thing.
A: Yes, we too, hehe, spam your friends as much as possible! About installing windows, you can do it anyway, the Stretch Goal is only to have official support from us, but SMACH Z is an open console, I'm sure the community will offer drivers to install Windows your own if you want.
---
Q: hello, considering this unit supports x86 architecture i would assume it is possible (while perhaps unsupported) to install windows on this to vastly increase it's game library to include older titles as well, can you please confirm whether this is true or not?
A: Yes, you can install Windows or any other OS, like with any PC. However we're not offering official support (if we don't get to the Stretch Goal ). But as I said, we want to do SMACH Z an open console!
---
Q: Will it be able to support 128GB microSD?
A: Yes!

Thanks for your comments and for spreading the word about SMACH Z!

Ojalá alcancen los objetivos y salga adelante el proyecto, cuando salga a la venta estaré muy interesado en su compra, creo que puede ser la sustituta de mi PS Vita en el futuro.

- PRO version has 128GB it doesn't depend on any Stretch goal.
- Yes, you can use SDXC cards.
- It's a HDMI Mini Type C, version 1.4b
- There an extra battery ad-on that you can put on top of the internal battery to double the battery life. With several extra batteries you can resist a long travel. And yes, you can charge it using a USB bank.
- We know you all would like to see SMACH Z in action. However we are cautious about showing the current prototypes, because they are not attractive for a final user. Building an industrial prototype is really expensive, and it's just the reason why we first need to run this crowdfunding campaign. As you can see in the timeline, the industrial prototype to show and be tested by players will be ready on April-May. Then for sure we will let everyone review it and do youtube videos. About the benchmark, we have the problem that we're not using the final AMD SoC, because it's not ready yet, we could do a benchmark of the current one, but it wouldn't reflect the final power of SMACH Z. We will try to release more information about performance for your reference in future updates.

Also, we want to communicate in this update an important clarification from Valve:
Steam™ name and logo are property of Valve® Corporation. All trademarks are property of their respective owners. Liability disclaimer: SMACH Z project is not being developed by Valve® Corporation. SMACH Z project doesn't have any connection to Valve® or Steam™.
So please, don't associate SMACH Z with Valve® or Steam™ . This a third party project, while we're an authorized Steam™ Machine hardware developer, Valve® is not directly supporting the project at the moment.

Hi Smachers!
These days we received plenty of question and messages, we've tried to answers all of them and we'll make a selection to post a F.A.Q in the KS page. Many thanks also to your suggestions of improvements and new rewards, we'll consider all of them for sure.
Also many people is waiting to see a prototype of SMACH Z. We're going to show more images of our current prototype but, as we pointed out in the comments forum, don't expect to see a working SMACH Z: What we have at the moment is what you see in the KS video. We don't have any encapsulated prototype, for that we need to raise the funds on this campaign, to pay expensive industrial processes and IMASD engineers. If you take a look to the timeline image, the industrial prototype will start in January and will be ready in April-May.
To give backers a guarantee and encourage more people to support the project we are working on a refund policy, to recover your money if you are not happy with the product or even if you are not happy with our work when we will have ready the industrial prototype. We're confident that no one will use this refund policy but we hope this will help to reduce the current barrier that some people have towards the project.
In order to give you more details about SMAC Z process, here you can see some diagrams of SMACH Z design:

En su momento esperaban 3000 unidades que se podría extrapolar en unos 600.000€

De todas formas es como dice @Nintiendo1, ha habido días que han llegado a perder de 2 a 3 backers. Y a la persona que le han dejado dirigir la campaña le falta manejarse en marketing y comunicación, en su defecto si son 2 personas distintas no se han llegado a poner de acuerdo nunca.

Salvo bomba o golpe de efecto auguro 50.000€ más de aquí al final de campaña. Estaré al tanto de ver si me comentan algo y sobretodo de las rajadas que están pegando en La (fue ilusionante mientras duró)
