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
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
There are many ways to put PC games on a living room TV, and the Alienware Steam Machine is one of the most ambitious. Like all new console launches, there are rocky patches, but the biggest hurdle may be proving why Steam OS is a better choice than Wind...

Compact, attractive design, Includes Steam Controller, SteamOS brings PC-gaming innovations to the television, Performance surpasses consoles,
No Windows support, Only compatible with the fraction of Linux games available on Steam, Pricey considering the specs

Abstract: The Alienware Alpha will use its own interface built on top of Windows 8.1 rather than Valve's Linux-based SteamOS. But Steam is still the lifeblood of this system, as the small-footprint box will bring PC gaming to your HDTV using Steam's “Big Picture” m...

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...

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...
