Alienware’s 11.6-inch, 4.5 pound, sub-$1000 gaming laptop has landed at the Geek.com offices.
The M11x is one most portable gaming systems ever, and one of the only one that can double as a rather nice thin-and-light laptop. It packs game-ready NVIDIA GeForce GT 335M graphics along with a Intel Core 2 Duo ULV processor (U7300) for extending the battery life as much as possible.
Starting at $799 this is computer is going to appeal to a lot of people, including those who want an Alienware but need portability or that have been dreaming about gaming on-the-run. There are downsides to the light weight though–you have an ultraportable sized display on a thin-and-light chassis, the battery is not removable, and you don’t have an optical drive. These three details feel relatively minor when you are gaming on a 4.5 pound laptop though.
