Dell Alienware: Concept UFO handheld/portable console (Windows gaming PC)

[Nintendo]

Everyone is a winner when it is compared against SmachZ
For sure finished product with this concept will have insane price tag especially if it has the Alienware brand.

Probably over 3000

Awesome dual screen laptop there...reminds me of the Microsoft Neo

 

[Askarus]

Haha, now we're in the same situation as with the Wii.
Companies try to copy Nintendo.

 

[Nintendo]

Only this time, these companies have a lot of money to spend on R&D, and are able to develop high quality products like the UFO.

 

[ThinkPad]

Probably over 3000

Yeah for 3000 USD you can build like 2 gaming PCs from scratch alongside with 2 1080p 144Hz monitors without any compromises on the components.

 

[Nintendo]

Hehe, you know what, stuff it! If the UFO ever sees the light of day, I'll buy one and let y'all know what it's like. Hopefully worth 3000 dollars

I'd be nervous buying one, I had an Alienware Laptop (MX11 R2) and the driver support from Dell was horrendous. I think we had one graphics card update in total while nvidia kept producing updates for the nvidia half of the dual graphics card and plastering warnings about the update not being suitable for dual systems everywhere, Dell just didn't seem interested. There ended up being forums dedicated to which updates where safe to apply and what problems there were (if any). God knows what they'd be like supporting this.

The Switch games are customized for the Switch.
Using a Windows Tablet and running games on them won't be the same in my oppinon.
But the freedom you gain (mods, more games) is a huge advantege on the other hand ...

 

[Nintendo]

If the UFO ever sees the light of day...
Day 1 purchase for me

 

[Nintendo]

Even to this day, I'm still watching heaps of Dell UFO YouTube vids to tide me over while I wait for more official info about the MAX.

Where are the vents? I see those five holes at the top of that image, but I suspect they're more likely to be charge indicator lights than any means of ventilation.

 

[Djoga'Ro]

Not for me. I want to get away from x86 (high hopes for Risc-V) and I don't want Win10.

That's just the make-one-controller-out-of-two-joycons piece.

 

[Nintendo]

Yeah, as @Djoga'Ro has mentioned, that's just the controller.....if you're looking for air vents on the actual main tablet PC part, it's on the back. See images below

I don't know why they used hard angles on the design but the kickstand looks great, similar to a Thinkpad Tablet

 

[levi]

Because they're alienware and they put hard angles on everything these days. I find the massive bezel caused by using a trapezoidal screen cover a bit galling though.

 

[erico]

Dead from its grave.

 

[Nintendo]

I'm here to keep the dream alive

For reference, here's how my tablet + ipega thing looks like.

Side note #2:
I've replaced the tablet in my previous setup with a Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 8", this is a 5 years old tablet but I think it's still fantastic!
PC Streaming on its gorgeous OLED screen is perfect. It can also do decent native retro emulation - 4:3 ratio so in fullscreen!
I've also purchased a Super Famicom skin from ebay. Shots bellow.
I'm still using it with the ipega 9083 but there is now an alternative for tablets: The ipega 9167 which seems more compact, not tested.
