Razer's first tablet PC gaming console, the Razer Project Fiona, showcased at this year's CES, has drawn countless eyes from the industry. However, it will no longer be the only mobile PC gaming console in the near future because Alienware, a Dell subsidiary, is currently also considering a product in the same direction to meet the demands of gamers who desire tablets more.

To date, Alienware still harbors regrets about the success of tablets, but the idea of tablets has been discussed many times within the company. Alienware product manager Eoin Leyden stated: "We've discussed (tablets) many times, but there are still many issues and limitations that make it difficult for our core users to accept."

Eoin Leyden further mentioned that tablets use a full-touch interface design, and their touch control method holds unparalleled significance for web browsing and playing casual games. However, this type of control method does not suit more cutting-edge PC gaming blockbusters.

"The problem lies in the input mechanism, and how games utilize the mechanism and translate it into actions within the game."
