The Play Vault's Phil: "Instead of being a huge desktop build or some sleek laptop, this piece of hardware is no longer focusing on the desk gamer but rather the couch gamer. This means that the device will sit preferably next to your TV where you can hook it up and enjoy it on the big screen. This is a hybrid of a console and PC presumably combining Windows software and some preinstalled Alienware software to make the experience more console friendly in terms of controller compatibility for instance."
Welcome to episode 275 of Heroes of Handheld! This week, we discuss: Jedi: Fallen Order The upcoming Pokemon Direct CES 2020 and the Alienware Switch lookalike The Nintendo Switch Pro incoming?
Sorry to hurt your Nintendo blind fan feelings ,but Nintendo actually stole the Switch's design from the Wikipad and other Handhelds and Android controller grips.
The Alienware Concept UFO stuffs a Windows 10 PC into an amazingly portable package
It’s far from a Switch killer. People will always buy Nintendo based on brand loyalty and for their amazing exclusives.
I agree!
"super premium" is not tech specs. They have no exclusive games they are going to have to at least have SUPER TECH! And they will still not touch SWITCH.
except when they get that switch emulator running on it. Then that thing could be wicked
It would make it better than the Switch, but people still wouldn't buy it as much as the switch simply because of brand power and convenience.
One, you still have to buy the game to play it legally on an emulator...and you have to rip the game yourself.
Two, there is no Switch emulator at this point in time...JS
And you think this little thing have enough juice to fully emulate a Switch game?
Maybe you should wake up.
“ I don’t know it’s not out yet.”
Why do you need to wait until it is out in order to realize that if a big desktop-sized PC struggle to emulate the Switch, then how can a tablet-sized PC like this one able to achieve that?
@comic
Yuzu is experimental and most games either will not boot, or they run like garbage. Why even bother naming it when it runs would run worse than supporting the devs for their hard work?
Sounds like you are just looking for ways to claim you do not need a Switch to play major Switch games...but a quick google search will just out you quicker than you can type a response.
@Shiken
Actually majority of the switch’s mayor games are playable on the Wii U.
@2pacalypsenow
That is false. I assure you that games like Mario Odyssey, Link's Awakening remake, Luigi's Mansion 3, Fire Emblem Three Houses, Astral Chain, Pokemon Sw/Sh, Smash Ultimate, BotW2 (coming soon), Splatoon 2, Xenonlade 2, Xenoblade Torna, etc etc etc are not playable on WiiU.
Just because the WiiU has lost its value to most of their under appreciated games getting a second chance on Switch, that does not mean that Switch is not still pumping out its own exclusives at an even greater number as well.
But like I said...downplay...and we all know you do a lot of it lol.
"Switch Killer" lol
People buy the switch for Nintendo's exclusives, so unless they can suddenly hault Nintendo from making games it's really not even gonna affect the Switch in the least. That said the product does look dope an i'd love to get one for emulation aswell as PC games.
lol when someone says its a "(insert game/device) killer" it will always end in failure
That is what I call a sensationalist title.
The UFO is not even a real product, let alone a Switch killer.... It's just a concept, one of many that Dell has brought to the CES 2020. It might eventually go into production if they find a market for it. But as many other concepts it might as well just stay a concept.
Watch yourself get dumped on in better resolution than ever with these best gaming monitors for your PC in 2019.
I Like the concept but due to it's compactness the user can't chage out the graphics card and power supply. This could be a huge gamble to invest 1150.00 into this product because it may be obsolete in a year.
build your own rig instead of buying overpriced alienware products
i play on my pc to play on my pc. If i wanted a console experience i would buy a console, plus if it cant do eyefinity then there is no point.
That's a good point but not everyone has the know-how to build their own PC rig. It is not too difficult to learn but this will obviously for sell to those that do not have the knowledge or know-how to build their own awesome pc.
Ah yes, Alienware.
SPEND ALL THE MONEY!
Seriously just build your own. It's not hard... Like really... Its not... At all.
