Pocket Gamer. A few manufacturers have already tried themselves in the ultra-mobile gaming notebook division – but none of them were really successful so far. Now Alienware is taking a shot at creating a gaming suitable subnotebook in a 11.1 inch size. An overclocked Intel Core C2D UL energy savings CPU and the strong Geforce GT 335M are to provide for the necessary frame rates. Read here about this combination's performance.
The Midget amongst the Gamers. Until now, Alienware has rather been known for its big and powerful gaming notebooks at a premium price. Now the manufacturer tries itself on a small 11.6 inch performance midget that is already available for less than 1000 euro, and which would like to show off with a Core 2 Duo SU7300 and a GeForce GT 335M. We've checked if the given performance can keep up with the full fledged gamers, even to a part, in our review.

The Alienware m11x also has cool features such as a backlit keyboard for easy night time viewing and of course the Alien head on the lid to let others know this isn't just your ordinary laptop.

Alienware has taken the compact M11x ultraportable gaming platform and boosted its performance by including the new Core i5 processor. Also added is the NVIDIA Optimus technology that will auto switch the graphics on and off which was a sorely lacking feature in the initial release. This is the must have ultraportable for anyone who even wants to consider doing any sort of gaming on the go.

One of 2010's laptop surprises, the Alienware M11x offered something new to challenge the divide between gaming PCs and regular computers. Equipped with Nvidia Optimus technology and new Core i5 and i7 processors, the updated 11.6-inch Alienware M11x has improved performance, but it takes a small step forward, not a quantum leap.

When we first clapped eyes on the Alienware M11x back in March, it blew our tiny minds. We were hugely impressed by what was a high-spec gaming laptop squeezed into the body of a portable netbook. Now the M11x is back, and it's been kitted out with Intel's Core i series processors, as well as Nvidia's Optimus graphics technology. Alienware's updated M11x gaming netbook is just as portable as before, but its gaming performance will melt your mind even more.

We were excited to test out the Alienware M11x with Optimus, and the system really satisfies. Coupled with a Core i7 processor, the Nvidia graphics produced the highest frame rates we've seen in a system this size--not to mention more than 5 hours of battery life. Not bad for a notebook with a current street price under $1,200. While we were dismayed by the fact that our first review sample froze, the second system sent to us by Alienware allayed our concerns. Overall, the M11x is an ultra-powerful and ultra-stylish PC you can take anywhere.

It takes guts to make a gaming rig out of a laptop the size of a netbook, but Alienware seem to have found a good recipe. A drop-dead gorgeous design and impressive lighting effects are the foundations of this gaming laptop. Though the processor isn't best of breed and the keyboard is cramped, Alienware channeled its resources into the one part that mattered most to gamersa powerful Nvidia chip (now powered by Optimus). Mind you, it won't trump the performance of an Alienware M15x (Core i7) (though it can still run multimedia tasks well) and caters to a different audience than an Asus U30Jc-1A. But the Alienware M11x (Core i7) will get a nod from me every time gaming and travel are used in the same sentence.

This laptop targets a very specific set of audience, it’s only for someone who wants a gaming laptop that’s extremely easy to carry around and can handle demanding games too. But this is also only when you’re opting for the Rs 70,000 variant. The Rs 98,000 machine which we tested is completely over the top, and you obviously have some very good options.

Alienware has managed to pull off the combination of stamina and performance in an attractive, comfortable ultra-portable laptop. The M11x mostly does well, but its main weakness is a glossy screen without much contrast, which loses it its fifth star. It's still a great choice for mobile gamers who don't want a huge 4 kg machine and who fancy having the extra battery life for doing other things with their laptop.

Considering this is a gaming-centric netbook, the lack of an optical drive serves as a hindrance if you want to install games or software from physical discs. Gamers however can still puchase and download games from online game distribution services like Steam, which comes pre-installed on the M11X.

Regardless of the cost, the Alienware m11x is still in a class composed of, well, itself. The new chips are definitely faster - the Core i7 especially - and even though they're cost more in terms of money and battery life, they do make a noticeable difference. The Core i7-based Alienware m11x felt extremely snappy, with zero menu lag and quick dialog boxes; the extra CPU power will also likely come in handy in smoothing out CPU-intensive games like Shattered Horizon.

The Alienware M11x is difficult to score comparatively. Significantly cheaper ultra-portables perform better at everyday tasks, and most 15in+ dedicated gaming notebooks perform better at gaming. But the M11x deserves the niche it's carving for itself with the forthcoming Core i5 and i7 models adding to its appeal. Considering its weight and dimensions, this is, indeed, a truly mobile gaming notebook with an excellent battery life for such a capable machine.

Aesthetically, the M11x sports touches befitting a gaming notebook: an Alienware-esque contoured body and LED backlighting behind the keyboard, power button, and front grills. It also comes fairly well-equipped with ports, including both HDMI and DisplayPort outputs. It lacks an Express Card slot, but mobile broadband is possible via the internal WWAN option (an extra $125).Frankly, were amazed at Alienwares accomplishment. Are there sacrifices? Sure. The biggest being the lack of an optical drive. But all things considered, that seems a fair trade for an otherwise thoroughly outfitted ultraportable that can actually play todays games.

I was looking for something portable and powerful at the same time. I was sick and tired of carrying heavy 15.4 + notebooks and needed something that would do the same tasks as my 15.4 notebook. I stumbled onto this little thing when i was watching the CES show and since then i was waiting for it to come out. I had some money problems when it came out but i was able to get it after i managed the troubles i had.

The Alienware M11X comes with a fixed configuration in India for around Rs.65,900. If you want an SSD and a complimentary stroke, then that'll set you back by Rs.87000. Even the standard pricing is quite excessive and a 50K price tag would have been reasonable.

The final stumbling block is that price. At £1,208 inc VAT, this money-no-object Alienware M11x treads perilously close to the likes of Sony's mighty Z-series, a laptop that bests it in most areas without breaking a sweat. Do away with the SSD in favour of a bog-standard mechanical drive, however, and the M11x is an entirely different prospect.

While that might sound brief, the Alienware M11x delivers a gaming experience that was previously unavailable at the lightweight end of the laptop market – and hey, it’s still a London to Manchester train trip, or European flight. Gamers missing the genuine, Triple-A title experience from their travels will relish those two and a half hours, in spite of the £749 price tag. A pricey revolution in ultra portable PC gaming.

Arguably the Alienware M11x is the first true gaming laptop. Not only can it play games well, it can be used on the move just like any normal laptop - more so than most, in fact, as its battery life is among the best in the market. We'd probably wait for it to be updated with Nvidia's improved Optimus graphics switching tech, but nonetheless this is an outstanding (and unique) machine.

Alienware’s M11x is a pretty incredible computer. It’s not the perfect gaming machine or the only computer that you’ll ever need, but what Alienware was able to do with this sub-4.5 pound computer is surprising. It’s small, it’s portable, and it plays games. The battery isn’t removable, making for one of the computer’s few flaws, but on the other hand it’s quite powerful, enough so that you can leave the (tiny) charger at home and work for the day or game for two hours.

We really like the Alienware M11x. While it doesn't excel in any one category versus true ultra-portable or dedicated gaming notebooks, it's combination of an ultra-portable form factor and gaming-class components make the M11x appealing on a number of different levels. It's not the fastest notebook, nor does it offer the best battery life, but it is good enough in so many categories that the M11x can almost be considered a jack-of-all-trades type machine.

The Alienware M11x is certainly heavy for an ultraportable laptop. It's thicker than many of its contemporaries, too. As a gaming laptop, it's downright svelte. Even 13- or 15-inch models that offer this kind of performance typically weigh more, and are physically larger. If you've been torn between a bulky laptop that's powerful enough to handle games but gets mediocre battery life, or a more easily portable laptop with great battery life that doesn't perform well, worry no longer.

I have to say that this is a worthwhile purchase for anybody looking for portability without sacrificing performance as you would with a netbook. Not only does it play back Blu-Rays, but it games rather well, and it's lightweight enough to haul around just about anywhere. The debate over whether or not it should have had the low voltage Core i5/i7 processors is not an issue for me as the M11x does everything I want it to and then some. I've been waiting for such a laptop for a long time now, and Alienware has hit a 'home run' in my opinion.

This 11.6-inch ultraportable laptop has enough power to play all the latest titles while making only modest compromises, yet it's considerably more portable than typical gaming notebooks in the 15-inch range, let alone giant desktop-replacement notebooks. In the M11x, gamers finally have a fully capable notebook that's easily portable and offers great battery life.

Question: Why would gamers, who typically lug 15- or 17-inch notebooks to LAN parties, even consider an 11.6-inch portable for play? Answer: For the same reason everyone else buys light laptops. In the olden days (that is, circa 2009), laptops with high-end graphics needed lots of space for cooling, and small screens meant low resolution. This ultraportable gaming laptop offers good 3D performance, long battery life, and a dose of Alienware bling.

The M11x is a very impressive piece of engineering in so many respects, and it's easy to like much of what Alienware has done. That they stuffed this much gaming performance into such a small chassis is sure to delight mobile gamers. The problem is that Alienware also overlooked some very obvious features that should have been part of the M11x. Let's recap.

This isn’t the be-all and end-all in mobile gaming; while the overclocked processor is certainly capable, it’s ULV roots mean it’s not on a par with the latest Core i5 and Core i7 chips you’ll find in bigger notebooks. That’s the payoff for longer runtimes when you’re on integrated graphics. Still, we’ve a feeling that’s a compromise those people keen on an 11.6-inch machine will be willing to make.

Packed underneath its H.R Giger-inspired shell are enough electronics to make this a tiny gaming marvel.

The Alienware M11x is a very intriguing machine. For $1,099, you’re essentially getting two systems: a thin-and-light ULV laptop that’s fairly portable, and can last nearly a full day on a charge, and a gaming rig that lets you play graphics-intensive games at more than comfortable frame rates. While we wish the M11x possessed Nvidia’s Optimus technology to let you switch between integrated and discrete graphics instantaneously, we can put up with the minor inconvenience of having to press a button.

The Alienware M11x is small enough to go anywhere that an ordinary netbook can, yet it's fast enough to outgun its larger rivals. If you want a relatively petite machine that does it all, you really need look no further.

The M11x is a premium machine that you'll pay a premium price for. It offers astounding performance for its size, but the cramped keyboard, gaudy design (which might be to your taste, but isn't to ours) and slightly iffy viewing angles on the display mean that we can't give it full marks. There's also the price aspect - you're definitely paying for the Alienware brand, even if that's now backed by Dell's massive supply chain.

It's hard not to love the M11x after spending some time with it. It takes the traditional laptop and netbook formula and tilts the balance in unconventional ways, resulting in novel tradeoffs. It's sized like a netbook but it costs as much as many mainstream laptops -- and weighs as much as some of them. It has a slow CPU but a fast GPU that eats battery power voraciously enough that we'd probably just leave switched off until it was time to game -- otherwise known as "most of the time" for us. It purposefully looks like a cross between a muscle car and spaceship. Whether or not these particular choices appeal to you probably depends on how much GPU-dependent gaming you do on the go, and how much you're willing to spend on a machine with a smaller screen. We're pretty sure those of you who run out to buy one right this second won't be disappointed, but we're going to hold out for NVIDIA Optimus, and maybe a slightly faster processor -- all the while dreaming of keyboards backlit in Engadget blue.

The reason I got this is that I wanted a laptop that would be more portable than my MALX and this looked like it would meet those expectations, placed my order and got a est delivery of March 3rd, I surprised to see it updated with a 18th delivery date. It arrived on schedule doulbe boxed with a DELL outer box and the Alienware box inside. At this time I'm very happy with this, it's small and extremely portable. Plays all the games Ive tried on it so far.

Like the M15x and M17x before it the M11x begins to impress as soon as it is removed from the packaging. The overall design of the chassis is good, drawing great attention wherever the laptop is being used and the finish is perfect throughout. Alienware have also succeeded in making the M11x feel sturdy and robust, something which most laptops of a similar size fail to do. Upon turning the machine on we are presented with some great touches like the backlit keyboard, which is both responsive and comfortable to use.

Mini Gamer 2.0. Alienware, up until now better known for its big luxury-gamers, has surprised the notebook branch with a high-performance subnotebook, the M11x, a few months ago. Now the manufacturer introduces the subtly renewed M11x R2 that mainly distinguishes itself by a processor upgrade.
Source: Fudzilla Archive.org version
The cheapest Alienware M11x starts from €849 in Germany and it comes with a 1.2GHz Pentium U5400 with 2GB of memory. In the USA it starts from $950 for Core iX based machines and it comes with Core i5 520 UM CPU, 4GB of memory and 320GB disk. Our sample costs $1024 and for $1189 you can even get the same machine with Core i7 640UM that goes all the way to 2.26GHz.

From an engineering standpoint the M11x is a marvel. There is no other laptop available that offers this much gaming performance in such a small package. The fact that Alienware has managed to cram so much into so little – and managed to do so while also providing good battery life – indicates that some smart folks are working over at Alienware.

When we reviewed Dell's first version of the Alienware M11x earlier this year, we were impressed with its performance, switchable graphics, and battery life. Thankfully, not much has changed with the Alienware M11x R2, the second iteration of this slick-looking ultraportable gaming rig. This edgy ultraportable backs up its look with top-shelf parts. You get solid performance and auto-switching graphics, but the battery life is less than stellar.

Dell's Alienware M11x is undoubtedly the most powerful 11.6in notebook we've ever tested.
The combination of an ultra-low-voltage Intel Core i5 processor and an NVIDIA GeForce GT 335M GPU delivers punchy performance that's rarely seen in a system of this size. And, with seamless graphics switching courtesy of NVIDIA Optimus technology, battery life is better than expected.

The combination of an ultra-low-voltage Intel Core i5 processor and an NVIDIA GeForce GT 335M GPU delivers punchy performance that's rarely seen in a system of this size. And, with seamless graphics switching courtesy of NVIDIA Optimus technology, battery life is better than expected.

A boost to the internal hardware gives the second revision of the M11x substantially stronger performance, but battery life takes a hit.

Thinking back to our experience with the original M11x it is fair to say that we were completely blown away by that model. Alienware managed to produce a killer machine which offered great portability, excellent battery life and fantastic performance in games and media. Since then though a few things have happened to move the market on.

There is something that I have fallen in love with on this laptop that I didn't mention beforehand, and it's the material where your palms rest on the computer. It almost seems old, sort of like something you would find on a 1990s laptop, but somehow modern at the same time. I like it, it feels and looks nice, and I think it's perfect. But really, in conclusion, I can see myself loving using this laptop for as long as I keep it, the combination of the power and the small form factor are very pleasing. This is a laptop you can see yourself using everywhere, in your house, at a coffee shop, on a plane, at school, it fits every environment perfectly. The build quality and sturdiness of the laptop are superior to any notebook I have ever used in the past. This laptop just feels right, for surfing the web, gaming, typing, and anything else you can imagine yourself using your laptop for.

The Alienware M11x R2 is every bit as amazing as the original M11x released earlier this year. Although there are other notebooks in the 13-inch and 14-inch sizes that provide excellent gaming performance, the Alienware M11x is still the only game in town if you want solid performance in an 11-inch laptop. The durable design, compact size, capable performance, and very affordable price make the M11x R2 the best choice for road warriors who also like to have fun. Granted, the new Core i7 configuration doesn't offer that much more performance than the old M11x with overclocked Intel Pentium Dual Core SU4100, but the better processor and Nvidia Optimus provide two more reasons to buy the Alienware M11x R2 if you didn't already buy the original M11x. We still think Alienware needs to offer a matte screen option and a removable battery might be more attractive to some buyers. That said, the Alienware M11x is still your only choice if you're looking for an ultraportable gaming notebook.

Folks at AnandTech have published a review of the updated Alienware M11x, more popularly known as the Alienware M11x r2. Clearly, if you are in the market for a small ultraportable just for web-browsing and office editing, this is probably not something we would recommend. The Optimus graphics yield amazing gaming performance and makes it the most powerful portable gaming netbook.

When we first heard about Alienware's M11x at CES 2010, we were super excited. By now it should be clear that there's plenty to like with the M11x R2. It upgrades some of the most important areas relative to the original, and with Optimus in place of switchable graphics we no longer have to worry about a lack of driver updates. If you're after a small gaming laptop, there simply aren't any other compelling options right now.

It´s about time. It was only a question of time before Alienware created a Sandy-Bridge refresh of its 11.6 inch mini powerhouse for release. At this opportunity the graphics card has also been updated, replacing the GT 335M with the GT 540M. What the cooling system of the M11x R3 has to say about it can be discovered in this review.

Alienware is not a company you’d expect to find featuring on BCW because it specialises in computers for gamers. However, the Alienware M11x R3 is an exception because it’s a great machine for any high-end user wanting the most amount of power for computing on the go―but in a compact form factor. And best of all, battery life hasn’t been compromised.

The top-end M11x R3 that we reviewed is somewhat hampered by the high premium Dell has added for the SSD, making it overly pricey. However, the mid-range models – where the spec can be customised via Dell's online configurator – offer much better value for money. Overall, the M11x is an excellently built and stylish gaming notebook that is genuinely portable, with a great battery life. If you're buying a mid-range M11x R3, minus the SSD and Core i7, then you can safely notch the value for money and overall score up to 4/5.

We expected a lot of the Alienware M11x R3 unit, and for the most part it delivers on its end of the deal. However it has certain drawback such as a relatively average Audio speaker system and the fact that it heats up to quite an extent under a heavy workload, which prevent it from scoring higher.

Performance wise the Alienware M11x R3 just edges the Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E220 on every benchmark, from encoding to graphics processing to multitasking. The Acer Aspire TimelineX 1830T and the Samsung Series 9 trail significantly. Simply put, if you want a portable gaming machine and you can live without a disc drive, this is it.

When Jarred reviewed the Alienware M11x R2, he was so pleased with it that he did the most sensible thing he could: compiled a wish list for the next generation model. Improved connectivity, a better screen, and DirectX 11-class graphics. There was no excuse for omission of gigabit ethernet in the R2, but there wasn't a good, power-optimized DX11 solution on hand at the time either.

Alienware no doubt rules the portable gaming laptop space, and it has had little competition (unless you count Razer's Switchblade prototype). The only laptops that come close are in the ultraportable category, like the Asus U41JF-A1. However, the Alienware M11xr3 caters to a niche crowd and while it may not offer the best performance in every test, it excels in the areas that matter most: Portability, gaming, and battery life. That's why it earns our Editors' Choice in the portable gaming laptop category.

As the only true gaming notebook under 13 inches, the M11x is a must-have for anyone who needs a lightweight notebook that's capable of playing serious games. The keyboard layout is somewhat cramped and the Wi-Fi performance is lackluster, but overall the M11x continues to impress.

The Alienware M11x R3 is the best ultraportable gaming notebook that you will find on the Australian market. It's a little heavy for its 11.6in size, but this is because it houses a beefy configuration and has a sturdy build quality. We love the way it looks, we love the way it feels, we love its performance.

We’ll make no bones about it: the M11x R3 is a devilishly tempting purchase. Few laptops are capable of treading that line between portability and gaming power with such panache, and while the display is a disappointment, it isn’t enough to destroy its appeal. Junk the overpriced SSD and the Alienware M11x R3 is just under £1,000 of unadulterated gaming-friendly fun. If we had the money, we’d buy one.

When we reviewed the initial version of the M11x on launch day, just over a year ago, we were very impressed by the amount of performance Alienware had managed to fit into such a compact system. It really did allow us to game anywhere. With the third generation product we have a system which has somehow, in such a short space of time, managed to surpass the original by a significant amount.

Pricing starts at £800, however this specific review machine is a higher specified model than the entry level model, costing £1473.99 inc vat. If you can afford it, we would recommend machine customisation with a solid state drive, or add one yourself later. This system really does come to life when you remove the mechanical drive limitations.

Comment
Alienware: Alienware was founded in the USA in 1996. The European headquarters is located in Ireland. Alienware has been part of the Dell Group since 2006. The product range mainly focuses on gaming laptops and desktops, which are developed and manufactured by Dell. The trademark is a slightly futuristic design with an Alien as the logo. Additionally, workstations for private and business customers are sold.
As with every brand, there are also some points of criticism with Alienware. Some customers have complained about the high prices of the products, while others have criticized the quality of customer services. There have also been some reports of problems with the reliability and durability of some Alienware products. However, many customers have also had positive experiences with the brand and appreciate the powerful gaming computers.
Non demanding games should be playable with these graphics cards.
NVIDIA GeForce GT 335M: The GeForce GT 335M offers 72 shader cores (compared to the 48 of the GT 330M) and is based on the GT215 core (GTS 350M).
NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M:
Mid-range graphics card based on the GT 435M chip (GF108) with higher clock rates and DDR3 support.
» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.
Intel Core 2 Duo: This is the Core Duo and Core Solo successor with a longer pipeline and 5-20% more speed without more power consumption. As an addition to the Core Duo design there exists a fourth decoder, an amplified SSE-unit and an additional arithmetical logical unit (ALU).
The Core 2 Duo for laptops is identical to the desktop Core 2 Duo processors but the notebook-processors work with lower voltages (0.95 to 1188 Volt) and a lower Frontside bus clock (1066 vs 667 MHz). The performance of equally clocked notebooks is 20-25% lower than Desktop PCs because of the lower Frontside bus clock and the slower hard disks.
SU7300: Slow clocked dual core processor with a low TDP of 10 Watt.
Intel Core i5:
520UM:
The Core i5-520UM is a power efficient ultra low voltage processor for laptops. Using Turbo Boost it can be clocked with up to 1.86 GHz. Thanks to Hyperthreading, 4 threads can be processed simultaneously. An integrated graphics card (Intel HD Graphics with 166-500 MHz) and a DDR3-800 memory controller are also included in the package. Compared to the Core i7-620UM, the 520UM offers less Level 3 Cache and a slower Turbo Boost clock rate.
Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.
2657M: Power saving ULV processor clocked at 1.6-2.7 GHz due to Turbo Boost. Offers an integrated HD 3000 clocked at slow 350 / 1000 MHz and a DDR3-1333 memory controller.
