Not ridiculously good.

The new Alienware M11x is here to thrill you. Weighing in at around 2 kg, it's not very heavy and it's 11.6-inch widescreen format ensures that you don't have a bulky laptop either. The downside is the lack of an optical drive.

The front panel is good, but the keys on the keypad are kind of cramped. It also has some extra features like changing keypad display colour like that in Dell Aurora.

The Alienware M11x comes with Intel Core 2 U7300 processor and a NVIDIA GeForce GT 335M graphics card.

Performance is decent when it comes to application benchmarks. PC Mark Vantage churns out 2,826 points whereas the video encoding test took 162 seconds to encode a 100 MB file. Doom 3 scores aren't very impressive either. In short, the performance is decent but nothing that will match a decent gaming desktop.

The display renders decent colours but the viewing angles aren't great.

Unlike most Alienware gaming PCs and laptops, it's not extremely expensive, but it's not very cheap either. It's a basic gaming laptop that doesn't come with the over-the-top graphics performance that we've seen in the past from laptops with two graphics cards, especially from brands such as Alienware.
