Alienware M11x – Gaming “Netbook”

Well it was only a matter of time, though I must admit I’m surprised it was a Dell division that ended up being the one. We now have a netbook that is powerful enough to be a gaming system but not expensive enough to bring you to tears like in the past. You heard me right, a portable computer that is powerful enough to run the most popular of PC titles and starts at $800. I’m pretty certain I’m going to pick one up soon, though I’m still considering the pros and cons. For one, I’m getting tired of lugging Hyperion around (that would be my custom gaming rig built by none other then Nutz. However, Hyperion weighs in at around 40 pounds and when you all of the required accessories, well that tends to be annoying) to Lan parties. Then again, I have to wonder if something so compact will still be viable in a few months. As we all know, laptops/netbooks aren’t the easiest of machines to upgrade (especially Dells – Alienware included I’m sure). Also, let’s be honest here; I also wouldn’t mind having a new toy! If I do end up getting one I’ll be sure to put the review up on here. In the mean time, check out the below video review from IGN on the little monster that could!
