Alienware M11x Now Ready for Pre-order

By Dena Cassella February 1, 2010

The Dell Store is sporting a pre-order page for its new M11x gaming netbook. The Alienware M11x, which features an 11.1″ 720p display complete with both NVIDIA GT335M and integrated graphics. Dell says the M11x should achieve over six hours of battery life in its lower-graphics function mode and attain around two hours of intense gaming time in its other mode. The M11x also comes with DisplayPort, HDMI, and VGA ports so you can take your gaming to the big screen and connect to larger monitors and HDTVs.

The M11x has a starting price of $799 and comes with a 1.3GHz Pentium SU4100, 1GB NVIDIA GeForce GT335M, 2GB of memory, and 160GB HDD. Mobile broadband is available from Verizon or AT&T for another $125—which is starting to make this gaming netbook a lot more expensive than we hoped for. The specs really do add up fast, so careful with your clicking.

The ship date is March 1st.

Alienware is a company that's been in the laptop game for a long time, and while it's facing a lot of tough competition from companies like ASUS, it still manages to produce some standout laptops. For example, the Alienware m17 R5 manages to pack an RTX 3080 under the hood, and you can even grab it from Dell for just $2,200, rather than the $2,650 it usually goes for.

Why you should buy the Alienware m17 R5 Gaming Laptop
The Alienware M17 R5 is a laptop built around pushing insanely high refresh rates, which is evident given that it can hit a maximum of 480Hz, a number you don't often see on laptops. It also runs at maximum FHD resolution, which allows the RTX 3080 to focus mainly on achieving high refresh rates. As such, the M17 R5 is an excellent laptop if you want to play games competitively, like CS:GO or League of Legends, where refresh rate matters. Luckily, you also get a 17.3-inch screen, so you aren't going to need to squint to see what you're doing.
