Hey everyone I'm here with Dell at CES and
I'm with my switch but I am also with
not a switch this is the Alienware
concept UFO
you can see it looks a lot like a switch
though the scale has definitely changed
it's worth saying straight up this is not
a real product this is purely a
concept that dell and alienware have
worked on to kind of show how you would
go about turning the switch into a fully
fledged Windows 10 PC so what we're
seeing in the middle here is actually a
full computer like this this central
unit is a full Windows 10 PC you get out
of the game you can run everything
Windows 10 would run but it's then got
these two controls on the side just like
a switch which are detachable just like
you'd expect from a switch sorry so
slides off as you can see it's a big
chunky controller so I'll get my
switch joy con off to really compare
them side-by-side you can see that is at
least twice the size probably about
three times the size total but there's
some nice pen swap there's some nice
ergonomic touches do you know that the
switch is very flat and thin this is a
lot thicker
there's also got much more sort of
ergonomic curvature to it it is in that
sense the grip does feel pretty comfortable
I'll say it is big it feels very big to
use and to hold it's it's it's a chunky
boy it's heavy it's actually not as
heavy as it maybe looks like it is it is
more portable than you'd think my
favorite thing about it is what you've
got here which is this kickstand so
let's get this the actual switch back
for comparison this if you're not aware
is the switch kickstand I hate this I
hate this so much
it is the worst look at that it's
already wobbly it's imbalanced because
it's only on one side it's so flimsy
I popped it out multiple times it just
falls off and flies everywhere it's tiny
little rubbish bit of plastic look at
this look at that sturdy this is metal
this has got weight it covers the whole
thing you can tilt at multiple different
angles so we can do it we can set it to
wherever you want basically up to there
which is lovely and yeah it's that kind
touch that makes me look at this and say
this is partly what I want the switch
Pro to be you know there's always rumours about switch two a switch Pro
whatever and as much as Dell is looking
at this Alienware concept and saying hey
you know let us know what you think let
us know if it works let us know if this
is what you want what you would change
you know that's why they're not talking
specs they're not talking battery
life stuff like that I want Nintendo
looking at this thing and saying what
can we take from Dell that other than
what Dell's taking from us I want this
kickstand I like the bigger size
probably not quite this big but
something in between the two could
really work I want this like economic
curvature to the grip
I want these taller thumb sticks if you
look they look just like Xbox one thumb
sticks to me they feel like it I'm not
sure if they are them or if they're just
very close but they really have that
feel they're lovely to use much nicer
than the sort of flats which joy con
sticks though obviously that flatness
does help for portability and carrying
it around and that sort of thing so yeah
that is the concept UFO again concept
not real product you may never be able
to buy one even if you can I couldn't
tell you how much it'll cost how long
they'll last what the specs are gonna be
anything like that yes everyone's
immediately going to say hey Dell's
just ripping off Nintendo but you know
we're already seeing stuff like the
razor junglecat controllers Asus did
some sort of joy con style controllers
for the Razer phone 2... ugh, for the ROG
phone 2 - sorry so this is obviously a space
we're gonna see more people taking this
form factor and playing around with it
and Nintendo would be fools not to be
looking at what Dell and other people
are doing and saying maybe we should
learn from them just like they're
learning from us
