Alienware M11x hands-on

So here it is, the M11x -- probably the closest you'll probably ever see Alienware get to a netbook, at least in size. You might actually be able to pull off some extended gaming sessions on the 11-inch screen -- it's certainly a crisp enough screen, from the time we spent with it -- but the real selling point here is plugging it up to an external monitor for your FPS / RTS / MMO needs and using it solo for productivity purposes. Of course it's a good bit heavier than other portables of the same size, but what do you expect with all it's trying to pack in?

I'm sold. I've found my laptop.

some surfing around the net turned up that it DOES have some sort of core 2 duo. no idea about the ram or hdd specs. the graphics will be done by a GT335m which is actually pretty nice from the way MW2 runs. Either way, it'l be a HUGE step up from my 14" XPS 1330 with a 8400mGS card.

whoops, two posts above me has good specs.

I plan on ordering this soon, it seems to get a good machine it's gonna be $999.

CPU upgrade to the C2D ($799 included Pentium.)
Ram upgrade to 4 gigs ($799 is 2 gigs)
HD upgrade to 7200 ($799 is 5200)

Total of upgrades - $200

Still the hot switchable GPU and ability to play current and future MMO's (Which is mainly what I play) is a must buy for me.
