This Tiny Alienware PC Was WAY Ahead of Its Time

?Join me as I take a look at the Alienware Alpha R1, which I used to own back in the day and was part of the original vision of Valve's Steam Machine. The Alienware Alpha is a tiny PC that features the 4th generation Intel Haswell based processors with a custom GPU based on the NVIDIA GeForce 860M. So, how does the Alpha fare after all of these years for gaming and emulation? Like old tech?
