Is this fun or this is fun? Yes, this is fun. A PC game console to your television. Ready, entirely suitable to go directly gaming. We are very enthusiastic. But let it briefly hold that this is the first attempt by Alienware.He is well suited to not play...
Sammanfattning: The Alienware Alpha intends to invade your living room as your gaming machine of choice and replace your Xbox One or PlayStation 4. It's a Windows 8.1 box that's smaller than either console and it can crank out the latest and greatest titles with some gra...

Smaller, lighter and as smart as the consoles, Matches the consoles for gaming power, Xbox 360 controller included, Dedicated Alienware UI
Can't upgrade GPU, More expensive than consoles, Entry-level CPU and RAM limits performance
The Alpha is the best example of a living-room gaming system we've seen yet. It still entails some compromises, but if you can live with those then it's worth serious consideration....
During our briefing last year with Alienware, execs had the machine plugged into an HDTV and playing Fez. No claims were made for the device as a performance powerhouse - rather it was described as a living room-friendly PC designed for lighter gaming in...

The compact Alienware Alpha plays a huge library of PC games in a living-room-friendly format, and it works with a standard Xbox 360 controller

Do you want a game console? Then buy a game console instead. The Alpha proves there are way too many things that need to be fixed—not just by Alienware, but game developers and Valve and Microsoft too—before a Windows box will be anywhere near as easy as...
Sammanfattning: They range from simple dongle-sized mini-computers on a stick, to hard-core (but compact) HTPCs capable of high-end gaming. The ‘stick' PCs are typically low-end hardware on a tiny device that can plug directly into an HDMI port. They are ready to go and...
Sammanfattning: The smallest, such as Intel's Next Unit of Computing (NUC) will fit into the palm of your hand, while even the largest models are still generally smaller than a shoebox. This makes them perfect for environments where space is at a premium, be it a clutte...
