but tat is normal details.. i run high at benq. hehe.. nvm lar..

well if u solely wana game, then mayB still ok lah. but when u start multitasking and stuffs...dats when u can feeel the processor difference. and HD ON 11"...come on....swt

in summary, if you're looking solely at the CPU, many would have suggest to go for 14-15" gaming laptops with at least a P-series C2D, i3 or i5 instead, such as the SXPS, Studio, BenQ S42, Acer 5740, 4740 bla bla bla.

there's no such thing as worth it or not as in the end, it boils down to a person's preference.

get the M11x if:
1. you wanted mobility and gaming on-the-go (11.6" + GT 335m)
2. concerned about battery life (2-3 hours on gaming and 6 hours
3. sold by AlienFX and the backlit keyboard
4. Alienware branding

there are plenty of laptops out there which can outdo the M11x in lotsa areas (CPU, GPU, battery life wise). however, if you're looking for one laptop which packs all the features listed above, M11x is the one which packs everything into one single small package.

@Michaelbyz23:
it's been confirmed that M11x is able to run MW2 on medium settings with AA and AF off, max 64fps, average 34fps and min 23fps (one off occurrence). i believe HardwareHeaven's review would do much help to answer all of your doubts.

@Jaroque:
there are always external monitors.

i noe.. 11inch is kinda small. i don really multitask alot.. mayb mozilla plus some songs, plus antivirus scan and microsoft word tats all.

haha~
720p only ^.^
how ever it install DDR3 ram but run at 800Mhz only !! from CPu benchmark SU4100 is 976 and p8700 is 2.3k ++ ^.^ huge different ~
what i can said netbook is netbook. unless they can solve the heat problem and power consumption within 11' ^.^
for example, hp netbook using amd + ati 4330 which result quit hot for that unit.
For me it's ok but abit waste since i seldom gaming but i sure angry bcoz i run multiple task. streamyx free netbook under my consideration bcoz i just need to online only !!

i love all the things stated above. but the thing im scared is the screen and processor. screen mayb can handle with just buying an extra monitor and put at home tats all. processor, nvm la.. i wait and see how lo

and btw, the battery charge/discharge only about 300 times.. so if i use it everyday sure not gonna last long.

My personal preference would be get a net book just for portability and a desktop for gaming if u would wan a 2 in 1 , either way is hard for u nid to sacrifice 1 for another.
But ~ if u dont mind gaming on a small screen with low reso , i think the m11x would suit u fine =) We wont talk about price when we purchase an AlienWare for we know what we paid for

i prefer waiting ... bcoz soon they will used i3 or i5 and hv external 12 cells ultraslim lition battery ^.^
i3 is to replace aka ultra low voltage processor !! it's worth to wait .. it sound like they hv alot of su processor ^.^ it's waste 335 with su ~.~

AW is just for the paid for the alien logo okay..
thats all..
if really want games, go for m15 or m17x or some others brand that with a good specs..

below 13" laptop consider a light weight laptop and easily ppl for documentation when at outside with a long battery life..
so if for gaming portable, go with another la, m11x not really suit for it..
Think abt it bro...

If u got no way to spend ur money, m11x no problem la or just paid for the alien head logo , go for it...

Anyway, m17x will gonna order after CNY..

that's pretty much numbers on the papers. i believe when it comes to real-life multitasking/performance (surfing the web, videos etc.), i bet you wouldn't even feel the difference twice as much as the numbers. how much you're planning to do on an 11.6" anyway?

again, M11x is for one who wanted a portable machine for gaming, as gaming-wise, games nowadays more GPU-dependent and the SU4100/SU7300 is more than capable as a CPU for that purpose.


300 full charge/discharge, assuming you drain the battery out (100 -> 0% each day), it would be able to last you 300 days. however, in real life, i bet many would have charged it halfway before it was drained out totally.

plus, the battery is replaceable.

mind to clarify on the bolded statement?

You paid for the brand name, as well as an excellent service by dell. I can vouch for that

Brand yes , service from dell sarks .... Argued with dell twice and im still not satisfied

please convince me more about buying this laptop pros and cons.. i really wanna buy..hehe.. i found out a way to deal with the battery problem.

at manual there page 32 of 100 got say press fn and f2 can adjust it to whether to use batt or not. corect me if im wrong. hehe

I do wonder how well would a SU7300@1.3GHz+Nvidia GeForce GT335M 1GB GDDR3 would perform againts my P8600@.24GHz+Nvidia GeForce 9600M GT 1GB DDR2

LoL.. I play COD:MW2 on Maxed Settings at 720p AAx2

gotta agree with zad78. been purchasing numerous products from Dell over the past 5 years and i do not have any issue with their product's quality and services so far. M11X is my first AW and i am convinced that the it will not disappoint.

@Azurika:
guess you're one of the unlucky ones?

for me, it's a go.

if you're in doubt, i would advise for you to wait for comments, opinions and reviews from those who have ordered and about to receive their units by end of Feb/early March.


HardwareHeaven's reviews pretty much covered that?

M11x for bringing out to work / classes

for now still in malaysia, i will have to depend on my laptop for both gaming and classes. tats y... i need below 14 inch wif good gaming specs.

but 15 inch is like too big for me edi.

kla, BUY LA... JUST BUY AND CLOSE MY EYES.. first time in my life buy something nearly 4K. gonna call up dell to get me 3.8k for specs as shown below:
su7300
4gb ram
2 years mcaffee (is this antivirus good? or i just use my own kaspersky?)
500gb hard disk
gonna get external dvd rm200

Mayb , but dell had giv my 2 other frens problems also =/ and everytime we call up dell technical support , is more like we are lecturing them on how to do their work -.-
Imagine if u told them ur screen is facing snowing artifact issues and their reply u with "Sir , did u put ur screen saver as snowing ? " If tat was my laptop , id already ask him to look for another job .
