Dell and Alienware are no stranger to pushing the mold on PC gaming and innovating the gaming world we currently live in.

The company is regarded as one of the best professionally made PC companies in the world and are direct sponsors of Team Liquid, one of the world's most popular esports teams.

CES 2020 is in full swing now, and with this on-going tech and gaming showcase, Alienware stole the show and has a lot of people questioning if their new "UFO" concept is the future of gaming.

Let's go over everything we know about the UFO so far!

What Is It?

The new Alienware UFO is essentially a full-blown gaming PC, but it is compacted into the size of a Nintendo Switch and has the same button layout as well.

It is not hard to tell that Nintendo's iconic Switch design is the direct inspiration behind this concept, and quite frankly it looks great.

With the signature Alienware colors and RGB backlit on the analog sticks, it is a great concept.

They have claimed that with this new UFO we will be able to take PC gaming wherever we want, mobile gaming has never been bigger than the world we live in now.
