There are comparisons to be made to the Razer Edge Pro, as the Concept UFO is running Windows 10 and is accompanied by a pair of controllers, but the advantage that the Concept UFO has, and what makes it different from the rest, is its ergonomics. While Alienware isn’t the first to design a Windows-based gaming tablet, it is the first to not only attach a controller to it but also make it look like fully-realized product that can be relevant to consumers today, especially with the rise of handheld gaming hardware like the Nintendo Switch. ![]() The Acer Predator 8 attempted to do something similar with a full gaming tablet, but it wasn’t very successful because it was tied down by its Android library, which is similar to the Shield minus the PC streaming and an actual controller. Since it ran on Android, you could also play games on the Google Play Store. ![]() It would allow you to stream games from your PC to the controller, but only over local networks. Nvidia launched something similar, but not quite the same, called the Nvidia Shield, which was a straight-up controller with a 5-inch display attached to it. We reviewed the Razer Edge Pro shortly after it came to market, and while it was impressive, it wasn’t the best. It was essentially a Windows 8 gaming tablet with controllers attached to it. Way before my time as a tech journalist, Razer revealed one of its own concepts at CES 2012: Project Fiona, which later became Razer Edge at CES 2013.
