Dells&#8217;s latest Alienware system aims to bring a similar experience to PC gamers.<\/p>\n<p>Before you get <em>too<\/em> worked up, know this: for now, the Alienware UFO is purely a concept device. Still, there&#8217;s plenty here to get excited about. The crew over at PCMag were lucky enough to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcmag.com\/feature\/372640\/hands-on-alienware-concept-ufo-a-switch-style-windows-gaming\/7\">spend some hands-on time<\/a> with the UFO, and here&#8217;s what they learned.<\/p>\n<p>The UFO sports an 8-inch display and very Switch-like controller config. The controllers are slightly different, though. The left side (with a d-pad and analog stick) and right (with a second stick and ABXY buttons) don&#8217;t work independently for two-player gaming on the go the way the Switch Joy-Con do.<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex-video widescreen embed\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kua4_7Ibw1w?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>What they <em>can<\/em> do is slide into a dock to form a single wireless controller. That lets you prop the UFO up on its integrated kickstand and game without having to hang on to the entire system. At least that&#8217;s the plan: Dell didn&#8217;t have the wireless functionality ready to go in time for PCMag to test it out.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s also no dedicated dock like the Switch&#8217;s, but it doesn&#8217;t need one. The UFO is a full-on Windows PC. It&#8217;s not like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geek.com\/tech\/geek-pick-razer-junglecat-controller-makes-your-phone-a-nintendo-switch-1808699\/\"  rel=\"noopener\">Razer Junglecat<\/a> bringing Switch-like functionality to mobile games. If you want to play your games on a bigger display you can simply plug one in to the tablet&#8217;s USB Type-C port.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1815610\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.geek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/alienware-switch-625x351.jpg?resize=625%2C351&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"351\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.geek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/alienware-switch-625x352.jpg 625w, https:\/\/www.geek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/alienware-switch-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.geek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/alienware-switch-650x365.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.geek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/alienware-switch-141x80.jpg 141w, https:\/\/www.geek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/alienware-switch-130x73.jpg 130w, https:\/\/www.geek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/alienware-switch.jpg 740w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Dell wasn&#8217;t willing to disclose what kind of hardware the UFO is running, which is logical enough given that it&#8217;s still a prototype. They&#8217;re clearly very confident in the system&#8217;s abilities, however, saying that it&#8217;s more powerful than many of the gaming laptops that are currently available.<\/p>\n<p>What we get to see in PCMag&#8217;s video is certainly impressive. What would be even <em>more<\/em> impressive is if Dell actually commits to bringing the UFO to market.
