Alienware Alpha

A new gaming console and entertainment system...what do you think of the Alienware Alpha?

Price seems a bit high to me (over $500.00) but I suppose some people will buy it anyway.

Ehhh.... I'd much rather just stick to my PC.

Too expensive for what you get, but that's Alienware for you. I'll stick with my PC as well.

Alienware is bringing out the "Steam Machine" sometime this fall:

Price is a little too high for me at nearly $500.00!

I got to play with one of these at PAX East. I think it's a good thing, really. It may be a bit expensive, but it seems to me that the idea is to bring high-powered PC games to people who either can't afford to buy a high-powered PC or lack the know-how to build and maintain one. I will also just stick to my PC for Steam, but I love the idea behind this machine. As I understand it, there are other manufacturers that will be building them as well, not just Alienware.
Next Pokemon game(s): Pearl
Last finished Pokémon game: Shield
Other games: Skyrim Special Edition (Switch), Spyro Reignited Trilogy (Switch & PS4), Okami (Switch & PS4)
Other gaming goals: completing a Living Pokedex (minus some event Pokes) and going through at least 1 game per generation
