The editors liked

  • Fresh and fun design
  • Gorgeous lighting scheme
  • Dedicated GPU at entry level
  • Despite playing on a console
  • It never feels like you are doing something separate or different from the Steam experience you know and love. Tapping that Steam button zips you to the familiar SteamOS
  • Where you can do lots of stuff on the fly within the g
  • The Alienware Steam Machine brings Valve's Steam OS concept to life at an affordable price. It has a larger launch library than any living room console and it includes the unique new Steam Controller
  • Lounge-friendly form and OS
  • Traditional mouse games playable on the pad
  • Compact and quiet design
  • Well-designed
  • Efficient UI
  • Innovative controller
  • Tied into a brilliant gaming service

The editors didn't like

  • Still unproven product
  • Small on I/O
  • I'm not crazy about the SteamOS UI—sometimes it feels a little too much like a PC
  • And not in a good way. There's a lot of clutter and a lot of text. You're not sitting a foot way from your laptop anymore
  • But the Steam Machine kind of treats you like you
  • Steam OS is locked out of a vast majority of the Steam game library
  • Including nearly every hot new PC game. The controller has a deep learning curve
  • And will never be the best choice for some games. The more capable Windows version of this hardware cost
  • Not enough big-hitting games on SteamOS
  • Controller is far from perfect
  • Significantly more expensive than a console
  • Controller takes some getting used to
  • Limited selection of AAA games

  • Abstract:  While the Alienware Alpha is being produced to the strict corporate timeline of parent company Dell, the operating system it was supposed to be running and the controller it was supposed to use are the work of the more enigmatic Valve, which sets vague re...

  • Performances correctes (pour une console), La console en ellemême, Des progrès sur SteamOS…
  • …mais toujours des bugs, La manette Steam, Un catalogue trop faible
  • Dans l'absolu, la Steam Machine d'Alienware n'est pas un mauvais produit, mais il parait difficile de la recommander à moins d'une large baisse de prix. Il est notamment compliqué de comprendre à qui s'adresse ce produit et plus généra...

  • Plug and Play, Gute Verarbeitung, Sehr leise, Kompakte Größe, Prozessor und Arbeitsspeicher aufrüstbar
  • Kaum AAA-Spiele, Keine Apps, Onboard-Grafikkarte, Steam Controller für Action-Spiele ungeeignet
  • Noch ist die Zeit für Alienwares Steam Machine nicht gekommen. Zu groß sind einfach die Nachteile durch SteamOS, sei es die überschaubare Anzahl von unterstützten Spielen oder die Leistungseinbußen im Vergleich zu Windows-Betriebssystemen. Wer bereits ein...

  • Ausreichend schnell für 1080p, Sehr kompakt, Controller bereits mitgeliefert, Gute Leistungsaufnahme, Schlichtes Design
  • Sehr teuer, SteamOS schränkt Spiele-Support ein, Persönliche Meinung, Auch mit den Steam Machines, SteamOS und dem Steam Controller ist PC-Gaming im Wohnzimmer weiterhin ein kostenintensives Unterfangen. Auch wenn ich über Steam-In-Home-Streaming immer ma
  • Valves Wohnzimmer-Ambitionen sind eigentlich ein längst überfälliger Schritt. Im Vergleich zur Konsole bietet der PC noch immer die meisten Möglichkeiten. Je nach Hardware-Ausstattung ist die Auflösung meist höher, der Detailreichtum größer, die Sichtwe...

  • Der Gaming-Zwerg von Dell ist zusammen mit Steam OS durchaus in der Lage, spielbare Fps-Raten auf den Bildschirm zu bringen. Dafür müssen aber in fast jedem Fall die Details reduziert werden. Der Grund dafür ist vor allem die relativ schwache Geforc...

  • Interfaccia accattivante, tanti giochi di qualità buone prestazioni,
  • Prezzo, limiti all'uso di periferiche, non offre un'esperienza valida come quella con un PC gaming o una console,
  • La Steam Machine di Alienware ha un'interfaccia fantastica e potenza da vendere. Peccato non si possa fare altrettanti elogi alla limitata selezione di giochi e alla scarsa presenza di funzioni extra...

  • Se l'intento di Steam è quello di portare il gaming su PC in salotto, e solo quello, allora l'attuale situazione non è tanto distante da quella ideale, se non fosse per la scarsa compatibilità con i titoli più recenti e di spessore dello store di Gabe New...
