I tried Alienware's portable Windows gaming PC concept that looks a lot like the Switch, and I was surprised at how different it felt from Nintendo's console

One of the biggest difference between Alienware's UFO and the Switch is in their size and weight.

The Alienware UFO is also full of design flourishes that make it feel distinct.

The Alienware's detachable controllers also differ from the Switch's Joy-cons in an important way: you can't use them independently

And perhaps most importantly, the Alienware Concept UFO is an actual Windows PC, meaning you can use it just like a regular computer when you're not gaming with it.

The Alienware UFO and Nintendo Switch have several similarities and differences, but taken together, they both provide an indication of where the gaming industry is headed.
