Pretty sure Nintendo patented their Joycons, and dock. This is too much of a rip off to not get sued.
Also, this thing will cost $800 or more. Nobody is going to spend that much on a portable PC. The Smach Z can run Witcher 3 at 40 FPS 720p, and costs $664 dollars.
Concept UFO is likely even beefier than that, so it'll cost even more. That's why I'm saying Concept will cost $800 or more. Than you have to add storage to it since it has no physical media. PC games take up a ton of HDD space. Switch's use of carts and compression is a lifesaver when it comes to a storage solution. Anyway add another $100 to the price tag unless you want to constantly download and delete games from your full HDD.

Patents don't stop you from doing the same thing if your execution, design or both varies.

The core execution and design of the not-joy-cons is virtually identical to actual joy-cons. I'm sure Dell is using a slightly different analog stick, button placement, etc, but at it's core it's the same design. Had Dell not included Joy-Con-Like controllers, and just done something more akin to the Smach Z where the controller isn't removable they'd be in the clear.
