we've waited a long time for it but steam machines are almost here i'm dan Aquin here at e3 2015 with the alienware steam machine one of the first pieces of hardware to use valves steamos that we ever heard about delayed here and there over the last couple years but now it is finally coming out the steam machine is going to be available in november or in october if you were smart and got in early and pre-ordered it it starts at four hundred and fifty dollars for that you get an intel core i3 cpu you get a custom nvidia GPU that's based on the 860 have a very popular card this version has a faster hard drive then the windows version we've played with previously it's got a 7200 RPM 500 gigabyte drive and if this guy looks familiar that's because we've actually been using it since late last year as the alienware alpha which is the same chance T but running Windows 8 maybe someday Windows 10 but this is the steam machine version of it and it comes with the steam controller which has been completely redesigned for the ground up for a very new sort of game experience that combines a gamepad or something that feels more like using a mouse that use the keyboard and mouse in a game as a big touch pad right here but if you want to go back and use a traditional gamepad you can also use a regular xbox 360 or Xbox one pad with it to be a ton of games from the Steam library available for it and probably you know a bunch more added as we go into the holiday season if you want the steamos you get the steam machine if you want windows in a more traditional Windows environment the same box is available with essentially the same hardware as the alienware alpha
