Dell Unveils Powerful 11-inch Alienware M11x Gaming Laptop Discussion

Why do you think an ultra low voltage processor with a 128bit graphics card and possibly DDR2 memory would be more powerful than a 3.2Ghz Tri Core with 512MB of GDDR3 dedicated to gaming applications.

gpu wise the 360 is pretty trashy today.

I've messed around with the Asus NJ10 (10.2") and it's just not the ideal setup. The keyboard is too small, and there just aren't enough inches on the screen while on the desktop. And if they go 16:9...? I might as well use my cell phone's browser...

You guys seem to like it, so go nuts. But paying $1000 for a netbook sized laptop with a beefed up 9600M GT doesn't appeal to me. I think a slim 13", 1600*900, with a more capable graphics card would have been a better way to go even if it cost a bit more initially.

Nearly 1.5" difference is a phenomenal difference in screen size.

This.

I guess I should have been more specific.

A 335M isn't exactly a 5870 GDDR5 either.

if i get a new laptop any time soon it will be that one. i love my 15"er but its far too big to lug to school every day, but i still have to. i need something powerful enough for gaming, programming and light 3d stuff.

I think that's what most people are looking for, a nice secondary laptop that is extremely mobile but does not sacrifice performance.
Some people are concerned about the CPU but it's not really that bad.

any one know the actual weight?
