Woah, long time no see since I bought my Alienware M11x.
Here is a picture of my Alienware M11x with my Alienware External Monitor 21.5".

The super reason of why you should buy M11x + Alienware External Monitor is because you can do just like the above picture.

Other external monitor DO NOT HAVE HEIGHT ADJUST-ABILITY and thus you cannot put both your laptop and monitor face-front.

The only other monitor from Dell which allow height adjust-ability is Dell UltraSharpTM 2209WA which cost RM759. This Alienware monitor of mine cost RM1k, but due to my enthusiasm of using Alienware product... RM250 extra is NOTHING... lol... since I am going to look at the monitor 10 hours a day for the next 3-5 years.

And if we were using M15x or M17x, it will be too big even with height-adjustable external monitor.

So my conclusion is Alienware M11x + Alienware External Monitor = Ultra Combo.

Ahh... where? I wanna see. This is very important to me as the setting environment really will help a lot in gaming/work.

You see, by getting height adjustable external monitor, you can actually save space + see more since you can use 2 monitors now. No need to put your laptop on the side and buy another keyboard for it too.

Also, this reduce the accumulation of dust on your desk since you will have less wire.
