The new Alienware M11x may look like all the older models of the same laptop, but its performance has definitely improved. Both the graphics and battery life have greatly increased further complimenting the structural build and features Alienware users have come to love and expect. Alienware has long had a strong underground following; however, the release of the M11x will definitely be turning the heads of gamers. The Core i5 and i7 ULV CPUs and Nvidia GeForce GT 540 graphics make this laptop a gamers dream. Throw in USB 3.0 and a long battery life even when running something as intense as games, and you’ve got a sure winner.
Although the screen display may seem a bit small for gaming or movie watching at only 11.6 inches, it does completely support HDMI and Display Port, and comes with an amazing 5.1 Surround-Sound Klipsch Speaker system. Alienware already had a great reputation for producing laptops with exceptional sound systems, and this new system easily trumps the old even though their contract with Klipsch is a new one.
Other additional features that come standard with the new M11x include:
• 4 GB, 1,333MHz DDR3
• Windows 7 Home Premium
• 500 GB Hardrive
The only downside to these laptops is that they lack an optical drive which can be a bit annoying when trying to download games. Their overall exterior design is distinctive and is one that most Alienware die-hards love, but it could also stand to be improved. Compared to other laptops in the same ultra-portable category, the M11x is a bit cumbersome weighing in at 4.5 pounds which is starting to make it seem harder to tote around.
Otherwise, the Alienware M11x is a great improvement to last year’s model. The M11x is also relatively affordable with a standard laptop starting at $1,099. Not only does this beat out last year’s price of $1,299, but you are also getting more for your dollar – which rarely happens in the computer field. Overall, the Alienware M11x is the perfect gaming computer for gamers on a budget.
