Dell/Alienware launched the Alienware M11x last week in Singapore. I’m not a gamer personally, but a number my gamers friends are excited about this device.

The M11x is a 11.6 inch laptop with graphics power of a 15 inch laptop. It has a 1GB NVIDIA (GeForce) GT335M graphics card. Comes with 2GB RAM which you can pump up to 8GB. I was kinda surprised that Alienware choose to use a 1.3Ghz Intel Core2 Duo SU7300 processor instead of a Core i7. But although it is using a lower power chip, the performance wasn’t compromised. And it managed to push the price of the M11x to a very attractive level.

The M11x comes with HDMI, VGA, Firewire and 3 USB ports. The M11x weighs around 1.99kg. That’s rather heavy for a 11.6 inch laptop. But with this kind of performance, you won’t mind the extra weight. Oh, did I say that the M11x has a 8.5 hours battery life according to specs? Maybe that’s where the extra weight goes. Pretty good for long flights, if you can find enough space to use a mouse.

Like all Alienware laptop, the M11x is very beautifully designed. Alienware put in lots of effort in the branding and design. The design is so cool that every gamer wants to have one. I personally love the backlit keyboard. It doesn’t matter if I cannot make it at first person shootout games and didn’t manage to frag anyone. At least I play in style.

The Alienware M11x is now available in Dell online store from S$$1,699. That, I think, is perhaps the cheapest Alienware PC you can find. Will do a review if I managed to get my hands on it.
