Dell Unveils Powerful 11-inch Alienware M11x Gaming Laptop Discussion

I wonder if Apples Islate is going to be as powerfull..

its going to prob have about the same size screen.

Arg, bezel! That is one huge bezel! I think I would stick with new VaioZ, if I am in for gaming portable. The idea of playing HoI3 on 11inch LCD makes my eyes hurt, too.

I could game on a 13 inch but I dont know about a 11 inch.

Battery is apparently non removable according to Gizmodo which means more wear. Bad move? http://gizmodo.com/5442786/alienware...-short-machine

Not going to happen. Not without improving the GPU in the larger machines as well, which would be a very surprising thing for Apple to do.

O crap. That's one of the reasons I'd never buy a Mac. Bad move Dell.

Same thing.

I will also very likely get this little beast!
All depends on what Apple does with the 13" MBP.
I'm betting on Core i5 with at least an ATi 5470 or NVidia 330M.
They wouldn't give it just Intel IGP, considering it's a Pro machine.

I'll take that bet. Prepare to be disappointed.

It won't be even close - the M11x will eat it. The tablet doesn't need to be this powerful. In fact it needs to be vastly less powerful so you don't have to charge it everyday.

Horses for courses.
