XBOX 360 controller, ALIENWARE ALPHA CONSOLE
It goes by the name of Alienware Alpha and is so small that it can easily take up the size of a regular game controller (not literally though). The Alienware Alpha has come in the market with prices starting US $549.99 onwards. (approx. Rs. 34,000 in indian currency).
The $549.99 entry prices gets you an Intel Core i3 CPU (somewhat surprising for a gaming rig), 4GB RAM, a 500GB hard drive, and the Nvidia Maxwell GPU. Upgraded versions with more RAM, larger hard drives, and a up to a Core i5 processor will cost $699 to $799.
But, the Intel Core i-series CPU and custom Nvidia GPU (codenamed “Maxwell”) will allow you to play PC games at higher detail levels and higher resolutions (both the Xbox One and PS4 struggle to hit 1080p in many games) than the console versions of the same games.
