SIAP, I searched

Missed this when it came out, didn't hear about it til I saw an E3 blurb about it over the weekend.

Since it's the Windows OS, could this also be considered Alienware's attempt at the lower-income gaming consumers?

It's basically a PC made to look like a console.

Yeah, now it's just smaller and weaker. This is an HTPC at best. But at least it has Windows. I may be in the minority, but I think the conceptual/beta steam boxes with $1,000+ worth of hardware coupled with SteamOS is just silly.

everyone knows Alienware is owned by Dell now and produces overpriced garbage, right?

Why would I care about Dell's Alienware branded knock-off Steam Machine?

eta:

and those specs.

i3?

Nondescript "Maxwell" GPU?

4GB RAM?

Don't bring that ignorance here. Dell's ownership is not why Alienware sucks.
