Dell Introduces the Sleeker, More Affordable Alienware M11x
By Chris Weiss
In an effort to add a touch of affordability and enhanced portability to the powerful gaming PC platform Alienware, Dell has introduced the Alienware M11x. The slimmed-down Alienware M11x offering features an 11.6-inch display, and according to CNET and other sources, it approaches sleekness comparable to a netbook.
A key feature of the new laptop is its switchable graphics which allow users to switch on the Nvidia GT335M GPU for gaming applications and off for less graphics-intensive applications. Dell reports battery life of two hours for gaming with the Nvidia GPU in on position and six hours when switched off. The laptop features DisplayPort, HDMI, and VGA outputs, allowing it to connect directly to a larger monitor or television for enhanced home gaming.
The M11x will hit the market this spring with a sticker of under $1000. The form factor and affordable pricing should make this one of the hotter PCs on the gaming horizon. [via CNET]
