Alienware Announces Console-Sized Gaming PC

New X51 desktop offers performance specs at a low price and in a small form factor.

zeal0us5225d ago

hmmm $699... you could your own rig and save yourself some money.

decrypt5225d ago

At 699usd thats too costly, could make a PC with much better specs at 500usd. Alienware always is a ripoff.

soundslike5225d ago

at least it isn't overpriced by a grand per usual

"at least"

kevnb5224d ago

they dont usually overprice by a grand, check out anything they offer and try to build it for a grand less... Anyway, this costs more because of form factor. Its not for everyone, and I bet v2 will be much better.

jeeves865225d ago

Although they claim differently, that doesn't look like it's very...upgrade-friendly. $700 is pretty steep for that.

GodKing13375225d ago

Just what we all need + steam

hiredhelp5225d ago

You paying bit extra for the name.

Bladesfist5224d ago

I think the majority of the cost is the name

kevnb5224d ago (Edited 5224d ago )

naw, its the r&d/ form factor. Just look at the price of an ipad and compare it to a laptop. Now its fair if this isnt what you want, but dont be ignorant. this is 699 for an htpc sized machine thats actually powerful enough to play games, in that market space this is unmatched.

Bladesfist5224d ago

oh yay my money is going into research and development, thats great. Or i could buy something a lot better for the same price

Bladesfist5224d ago

30fps with a controller feels smoothish but with a mouse its horrible so 1080p /30fps for $699 is a pretty bad deal

specialguest5224d ago

The $699 price is for the entry level model which has "meh" specs. Nothing special or future proof. Don't expect to play games like BF3 at 60fps on high settings.

It's probably best to build your own rig with better specs at around the same cost.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing8d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit8d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing8d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster928d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
