ps4 games on Alienware?

Options
Good morning
Can you please help me. My lad needs a windows computer for school but also wants a ps4 which I have promised him. I was wondering if it might be possible to combine the two in anyway.
Could he possibly play his ps4 games on a dell Alienwareif I were to consider that option?
Thank you so much

    You might be able to play the PC version of a PS4 game on the PC but you wont (legally) be able to put a PS4 game disc in a PC and play it. I say legally as there might be a way to emulate PS4 games on a 'top end' PC, I doubt it though

    If you pay £12.99 a month and have a fast internet connection then yes to a degree.

    Guessing that you could buy a decent laptop and a PS4 and have plenty of change for the price of an Alienware though.

    Daughter wanted a laptop even though i said a desktop is far superior, but no she wanted a laptop. The following year she wanted a desktop.

    Far better expansion options with a desktop.

    No.

    Buy a basic / mid range laptop and the PS4 ... it’ll be cheaper!

    And far cheaper too. Sometimes dell outlet have cheap alien wares at very good specs. Bought my Alienware from there for like £500 after various discounts. Top of the range spec including gtx 1070.
