Smallest Gaming Laptop Ever: the Alienware m11x

Thanks for your thoughts Peter. I agree for the most part. Apparently the m11x is also quite heavy for what you’d expect from an 11-inch laptop. Of course, an Alienware is an Alienware, and also it’s affordable (in relative terms). I have a laptop with the C2D U7300, and that one can be overclocked substantially without losing stability. But all things considered the Sony is definitely the more powerful machine, but over here it’s also a lot more expensive so it’s I suppose you have to compromise. Anyway, gaming capability in these small ones is a long awaited feature

Smallest Gaming Laptop Ever: the Alienware m11x

Again, after looking at the Sony Vaio Z-Series… this Alienware m11x is looking less and less impressive when compare to the Vaio Z-series… which pack a Core i5 or i7 (depending on the version) and a DVD drive… and also a decreed graphics Nvidia GT 330M… and a 13 inches wide screen… but at a foot print (ie: area on the table) that is less than this Alienware computer. The Sony Vaio Z-series, is 2.8cm wider but 2cm narrow… all this translate to about 5% smaller footprint on the table. What this means is that, there is a much smaller bezel around the screen of the Sony (actually the screen on the sony almost goes from edge to edge)… So I think I personally will go for the Sony Vaio Z-series over this Alienware m11x, although, it does cost more (in most country, in China and Hong Kong, the Sony Vaio is actually cheaper than the Alienware m11x due to Dell pricing their Alienware product 60% more expensive in those countries)… Just my two cents.
