The Most Baller Netbook Ever: Alienware M11x Overclocked (11.6" Gaming Netbook)

[ct9a gsr]

I pre-ordered a few of these to test out, review, and sell afterwards... (I've owned 30+ laptops). I finally got one in today... Alienware's new M11x netbook. A small as a typical 11" netbook but packs the punch of a 17" gaming laptop... amongst all its jazzy features, the thing that stands out the most is the ability to turn off the nVidia 335m gfx card and use the on-board video for extended 6hrs+ battery life... true portability combined with performance.

Sweet. They make some pretty hardcore stuff.

Price and battery life makes it not a netbook.

Price and battery life makes it not a netbook.

Battery = ~6hrs on discrete... similar to average of netbooks...

So if a laptop costs $1800 (well more than double the avg cost of a laptop), is it not a laptop then?

Mute points.

niceeee lol. now i'd love to have one of these.

i would consider it a laptop as well... the netbook category is small/light/inexpensive w/ a price point less than 500$ primarily.

nice though - i almost bought an HP elite laptop which is similar but for business

[91LudeSiT]

^Exactly I bought a netbook because it was cheap,plus mine has a 10 hour battery. 6 is pathetic and only if you disable the discrete card. You can buy some semi gaming laptops for 950 bucks, this seems like a typical alienware product...

alienware has great designs..but sucks that you cant upgrade them

ROFL, you should see the one sitting in what I call my pile of shame. My friend spent 4k on this alienware laptop, it weighs over 20 pounds, and was dead the day after the 1 year warranty expired. Next to an iBook it has to be one of the worst designed laptops I've ever seen.

[The Creeper]

ill give you 50 bucks playa...

[SPOOLIN]

that shit is sick but 800 for a small thingy like that when all i use mine for is race car tuning...is a no way.

[cpearson]

Wow, definitely a 'pretty' netbook. I've been a fan of Nvidia's R&D when it comes to 'turing their GPU's on or off' in regards to preserving battery life. It's a nifty innovation.

moot* lol

That is a serious price tag, but that is a serious netbook. If I was ballin, I'd have one.

[chuck]

can you not disable normal video cards and use the on-board??
or is that just on a desktop?...where the fan would still run from the desktops power supply.

[Gwb]

I would never spend that much on a netbook or laptop. If I wanted good performance, I would've just spent my money on a decent desktop for half the price and use the rest on a normal portable machine. It looks good though, typical Alienware bling.

[RandomGuy]

thats the most ballinest shit ever

[civicturbo10]

it looks like the keys light up when it's on. Def. would be annoyed by that.

[ttman]

sux dat it is not widescreen
