Alienware M11x to Cost $799

[Nipun Mohta]

Recall the sub 12-inch Alienware M11x gaming notebook? Yes, the same "ultra mobile gaming laptop" now gets a price tag of $799 (Rs. 38,400 approx.) in U.S. and might cost more in India. Dell's 'pint' gaming power pony is capable of playing games as well as HD videos with 720p resolution. To view this price on the website, you need to register for Alienware M11x Sweepstakes on the laptop's microsite.

If you're located outside U.S., don't bother entering this sweepstake as only U.S. residents are eligible for it. Sporting typical Alienware laptop design, the new M11x features 11.6-inch display capable of 720p HD video content playback. This HD video is powered by Nvidia GeForce GT335M switchable graphics.

This Alienware machine offers HDMI, DisplayPort, FireWire, and also SIM slot above MMC reader slot. Dell's black gaming laptop offers a battery life of 6.5 hours. However, the battery is non-removable just like the one MacBook Air. Not many technical details about this laptop are available as of now.

that's very affordable and nice looking, stats aren't too bad either....maybe I'll get one sooner or later.

[Xilo]

What, wait. An affordable Alienware computer with supposedly good battery life? What's the world coming to. :wacko:

[neocongirl]

Good value for sure!

But it still looks tacky as sin, but I am sure there is a market for that.

[Denis W. Veteran]

This laptop looks tempting. Dell hasn't had a ~12" gaming laptop since the M1210.

[Chasethebase Veteran]

So, this is cheaper than the 32GB iPad with 3G.

I know which I'd rather get.

[MidnightDevil]

Pretty good value for what it is... Id take the chance if I could :)

[ajua]

That's a sweet deal for the price.

Looks tempting...

specs?

[NienorGT]

I may get one of this depending the rest of the specs and options costs

specs?

The CPU is unknown, it could be an Atom, but I expect more an CULV CPU like the Intel Core 2 Duo SU series (1.3 to 1.7GHz)

The GPU specs does look very promising: http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-GT-335M.24060.0.html There's no benchmarks yet, but I expect it to play MW2 / Crysis at low-Medium without trouble at full resolution.

I'd get it for the battery life alone. The gaming performance is a plus, for me.

[Kenji]

This laptop is 100% ugly.

I'd get it for the battery life alone. The gaming performance is a plus, for me.

If youre after battery life then why are you looking at this? There are laptops out there that last 10+ hours on battery power.. heck didnt HP have one that lasts 24 hours?

[0nyX]

Pretty cool actually.I would get it but the screen is too small for my taste.If it was 13" i would definitely order one.

Good job though and a nice product from alienware

Look at the Asus Ul30VT's or something if you want battery life. Is 13" vs 11 but.

Edit: It is a nice price even if the system is a bit harsh on the eyes and despite the small screen seems fairly large. Hopefully thats a decent model but and not a bare bones one that you then go and spend a few more hundred on to get it up to speed. Only problem for me is 11" seems a bit small to really game on anyway.

I hate the look of it... but it's at a fairly good price given what you get from it. I'll wait to see what the Ion 2 netbooks can offer (and at what price) first.
