The Alienware is a very nice piece of machinery, but the VAIO is clearly the the better performer on paper. Hell, who am I kidding, there's absolutely no doubt that it would perform better :) Also, the m11x is at least a pound heavier than other laptops the same size. There's no big surprises there considering it's not a netbook, but still. If I could have both I certainly wouldn't mind, but the Sony is a monster in a neat little package!

It is about 2.8 cm wider (length from left to right of the keyboard) than the Alienware m11x... but it is a good 2 cm shorter in depth... and at the same thickness at the thickest part when compare to the Alienware... but much thinner at the thinnest part of this new Sony Vaio... So what this mean is that, although, Alienware is trying to claim that their laptop is the smallest gaming laptop (people think it is small because it has a 11 inches screen, but look at that huge bezel on the screen)... the smallest gaming laptop in terms of footprint (area on the table) is actually the Song Vaio Z-series... when you think about it, it is an awesome thing that Sony manages to pack in a DVD drive and the Core i7 processor into such a small package, when Alienware don't even have a DVD drive, and it is only using older generation of Core2Duo SU7300 CPU, and it actual cover a larger area on the table. So I think you should crown this new Vaio as the smallest gaming notebook and not the Alienware m11x... Just my two cents! :) The funny thing is that if you look at the size spec of this new Vaio Z-series… It is about 2.8 cm wider (length from left to right of the keyboard) than the Alienware m11x… but it is a good 2 cm shorter in depth… and at the same thickness at the thickest part when compare to the Alienware… but much thinner at the thinnest part of this new Sony Vaio… So what this mean is that, although, Alienware is trying to claim that their laptop is the smallest gaming laptop (people think it is small because it has a 11 inches screen, but look at that huge bezel on the screen)… the smallest gaming laptop in terms of footprint (area on the table) is actually the Song Vaio Z-series… when you think about it, it is an awesome thing that Sony manages to pack in a DVD drive and the Core i7 processor into such a small package, when Alienware don’t even have a DVD drive, and it is only using older generation of Core2Duo SU7300 CPU, and it actual cover a larger area on the table.
