PS4/Xbox One Vs. Alienware's Gaming Console

Alienware's mini gaming PC console ( a former Steam Box contender) specs against the next-gen console specs of the PS4 & Xbox One.

"these two have the same amount of RAM " ? yeah PS4 and xbone have the same RAM specs right ? dumba@#ss

That women was so clueless had not a single idea what she was talking about :D

[nicksetzer1]

Yea, this video is the biggest waste of time ever, literally covered nothing useful at all.

[UltraNova]

Totally a waste of time.

Off topic:

Was I the only one who had the image of the xb1 devouring both the ps4 and Alienware consoles and still have room for a wii u stuck in my head the whole 3.5 minutes???

Damn its a beast!

[isarai]

Well SHE probably doesn't, she's most likely just reading a script.

I am curious is the Alienware just a PC or is it more like a console that can do PC things? I ask as I'm not to thrilled with current gen so far but every time I try and go PC I just end up having way more problems so I continue to settle for consoles. A little more insight on this product would be nice.

Spec comparisons are largely useless for consoles vs PC.
Shadow of Mordor is a prime example of this.

[ravensly]

but hardware is what matter. you cant optimize ps4 to perform better than whats its capable of. you fanboys said it yourself that xbox one cant outperform ps4 due to hardware. same logic

[BitbyDeath]

Hardware matters but good luck trying to get Shadow of Mordor working on a PC with the equivalent of PS3 or 360 specs.

It just won't work.

[ThanatosDMC]

Learn the what the word optimize means first.

[uth11]

'optimization' in the PC world means "just go buy a new video card"

[Artista]

The form factor is really attractive. Alienware still hasn't annoucned a release date.

It's hideous, really bad from a design point of view. Its supposed to be a living room consumer device blending seamlessly into the surroundings but looking cool and sleek at the same time.

This is a shouty "look at me" device designed like one of those awful neon "bling" PCs. Very childish styling if you ask me.

X1>ps4>pc. Pc does not have games like the order, dc, fh2, mcc. Plus don't have o worry about keyboard and mouse vs controller. Consoles for me unless I'm playing Rome 2 or coh2.

[mysteryraz11]

you can get ps4s and x1s at 330 dollar price range on amazon so this alienware machine is a waste of time

[qwerty676]

500 bucks hmmm

i mean for a pc that isnt bad

however the thing is so small why not just buy a better pc for a couple hundred more.

[tablecloth]

A lot of console users don't like the "complicated" aspects that come with pc's. Give them something more similar to consoles and you might have a better shot at selling them "pc's".

Of course a normal pc would be better. I have mine in my living room hooked to my tv, wireless keyboard/mouse and usb 360/ps3 controller if needed. And with Steam UI, it's basically a semi console.

My brother would probably buy something like this since he doesn't like complicated stuff. It's not bad, but you can already do this. Just take some tech stuff to learn and to maintain and for some that's too much.

[ninjahunter]

I like it. Its cheap, compact and does everything. Very ideal for lower income individuals.

By everything, I mean that it has pretty much all the functionality features of the consoles, as well as having PC functionality.

Obviously enthusiasts will build a unique PC, but for a lot of people the extra time, money or even space are not optional.

[kingduqc]

Honestly you can do sooooo much more with a pc its kinda a good deal. Just 2 or 3 game release and you make up for the 100$ price difference

[MelvinTheGreat]

Plebs do anything to justify their console
