Same. I set it to auto-login to the desktop mode account, so theres no point in uninstalling AlphaUI.
Probably easy, but how did you set that up? I'd like it to give me the option of desktop or AlphaUI every time I power up.

Thanks for the information!dunno about Canada, but you can get the base model for $448 from amazon.com, i3 8GB, 1TB model is like $470 something which is worth it over the base.

Google auto login on Windows 8. You do it via netplwiz.exe.Probably easy, but how did you set that up? I'd like it to give me the option of desktop or AlphaUI every time I power up.
I figure I might want to go back to it if they improve it in the future.Well, the way I see it there's no point in keeping bloatware on a computer you don't use. So I uninstalled it.
How much power does this thing use in sleep mode?
I wonder if this would be a great upgrade from my current PC : an old AMD Phenom Quad-core, 4 GB Ram and a Nvidia GTX 570? I really like the compact size of this and I'm not the big gamer I used to be. I would still like to play GTAV and Far Cry 4 @ 1080p Med/High.
I'm looking at the i5 model with 8 GB of RAM.
Finally decided to pull the trigger and upgrade to an SSD. Who makes a good one? Looking in the $200 range...
I'm trying to wait to see AMD's Carrizo Desktop APU, but the wait is getting harder and harder.
I wonder how this baby handles overclocking
I wanted a HTPC before Christmas.
If anyone is interested in this machine and missed the last deal, there's a new deal going on that's even better. $399 with a $70 rebate, so effectively $330.

The lowest tier still has the same gfx card then the top tier. You will be fine. The loading time will be bad but in-game should be fine. Oh and that windows boot up will feel like age.I might have the money to get the lowest tier Alpha next month. Money is tight and it takes ages to save up so would I be alright with the lowest tier? Medium settings are fine by me, I'm not huge into graphics. Would it play DA: Inquisition on medium settings okay? That's probably the most graphics intense game in my library right now.

I've found a used (for only a few months apparently) i5, 8GB ram, 1TB hard drive for £450 (normal price new is £620)
I am ....... tempted!
How is witcher 3 and unity running on alpha. I might bite the bullet but keep in mind I have ps4. Is it equal or superior to console
Pulled the trigger and ordered one. Didn't think I'd have enough to get a keyboard at the time but now it looks like I will. Wow, USB keyboards are cheap.

So i7 Model, I'm getting 30 FPS at 1080p at Medium graphics. High gets me 24-28 FPS. Running on Low gets about 32-34 FPS. (FPS according to FRAPS)
I read somewhere PS4 runs 900p 30FPS on High settings. Assuming that's correct, you could match that on the Alpha. I'd just prefer to medium and 1080p over high and 900p.
Edit: sorry for double post

1080p with most things on medium, I believe.
Any numbers after overclocking the GPU with MSI? May be enough to get High up to 28-32 fps
Is this old news? Surprised that there's no thread on this.For those interested in the Steam Machine version, it'll come with a faster hard drive (7200 RPM over the 5400 RPM) and at a lower starting price ($449 USD instead of $549). Of course, doesn't have Windows.

I prefer Windows, but I like that they have an option for dedicated gaming.
Does using a ps4 pad or Wii U pro still give you mouse control or is that specific to the 360 pad?
Has anyone managed to get a ds4 working in console mode yet? I can't see any obvious way of doing it.
