Alienware's newest concept will look familiar to mobile gamers. The Concept UFO looks similar to the Nintendo Switch in several ways, but it hopes to be more powerful than that. The Concept UFO hopes to bring PC gaming into a more compact form factor. The handheld gaming device weighs around two pounds and has an 8-inch display with detachable controllers similar to the Nintendo Switch Joy-Con controllers. The vital differentiator is that it runs on Windows 10. This could mean the console can play different PC titles from platforms and services like Steam, the Epic Games Store, Xbox Game Pass PC, and Origin.

But Alienware isn't divulging much else about the gaming device. Its current form could still change. The company isn't saying when the device might be available (or if it will be available at all). For now, some of the things Alienware has to work on would be battery life and even price. Their gaming products tend to be more expensive, and that would be a significant hindrance to some gamers who might consider buying the Concept UFO.
