If you’ve always fancied upping your prowess in the PC gaming arena by bagging a sexy Alienware system – but have perhaps balked at the associated price points – then the lovely folk at Dell have just what your gaming skills andbank account
have been waiting for.
Meet the really rather gorgeous Alienware M11X portable. Unveiled by Dell at this week’s Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, the impressive M11X packs a significant punch in terms of specifications and garners even more appeal thanks to its seriously tempting sub-$1,000 USD price tag.
Built with true portability in mind, the M11X comes complete with an 11-inch notebook body, which hides a muscular Intel Core 2 Duo processor. Graphics are handled by a combination of NVIDIA’s capable GT35M – which juggles heavier demands – while a more modest integrated solution can be selected (on the fly) for simple Web browsing and other basic softwareapplications .
Other elements include a somewhat cosy screen that displays in 720p and a resolution of 1366 x 768, alongside the likes of USB connectivity, FireWire, VGA, support for HDMI and DisplayPort, and also a built-in card reader.
Prospective buyers can expect 6.5 hours of single-charge battery life when utilising the notebook’s integrated graphics, with graphics-intensive tasks and hardcore gaming via the GT35M set to deliver around two hours of operation when the system is separated from a power outlet.
Although Dell has not yet confirmed the CPU speed or RAM allocation supporting the diminutive M11X, performance is unlikely to be an issue given that the little system can apparently run Modern Warfare 2 at more than 30fps without any trouble whatsoever.
Expect the M11X to come tethered to a price of $999.99 USD when Dell finally unleashes it.
