Alienware M11x 11-inch Gaming Notebook Reviews
HardwareHeaven and t-break have posted reviews of the Alienware M11x, arguably the most capable sub-notebook gaming notebook thus far.
Let's see what they had to say:
- HardwareHeaven:
"Without doubt one of the best laptops we have tested... if not the best. Not only that, it’s right up there as one of the best products we have ever tested, in any category."

"As you can see from the tests, the M11x certainly outpaces the Ferrari One by a shot but is a bit on the shy side compared to a decently equipped Core 2 Duo notebook with a dedicated mainstream GPU. Separately, we ran some games on the M11x and while anything not extremely demanding such as World of Warcraft and Left 4 Dead played ok, we don’t think the little one is capable of running Crysis or Shattered Horizon at playable speeds. 3Dmark 2006 posted a score of 5458 points as seen above which is just a bit shy of the 6000 mark Alienware advertises. If you’re more of a movies buff, we had no issues playing Hi-Def 720p movies with either the Intel or NVIDIA GPU but 1080p suffered from a lot of stuttering with either of these GPUs.
Battery life on the M11x depends on weather you’re using the Intel GPU or the NVIDIA GPU. With the Intel GPU, I was getting over six hours of usage on a charge which is pretty awesome but with the NVIDIA GPU switched on, I got about three hours which is decent as well. In short, the M11x will allow you to use it for extended periods when needed for work yet allow gaming for a decent while."

Considering how well equipped/built/designed the M11x is, its base $799 is very reasonable. Finally, an Alienware for the masses, and one that is worth every penny.
