This year's version of the Alienware M11x has markedly improved graphics performance and battery life, and the laptop's solid build, USB 3.0 ports, and impressive 5.1 surround-sound Klipsch speakers are also pluses
The M11x still has a chunky chassis; also, the lack of an optical drive isn't a dealbreaker, but can be frustrating when installing games
Don't be fooled by its unchanged looks: the 2011 Alienware M11x makes big leaps forward in performance, graphics, and battery life, while keeping a reasonable price. Anyone looking for a portable gaming-ready laptop will have a hard time resisting the ur...
Amazing battery life for a Windows laptopSpeakers sound significantly better than most larger laptopsBacklit keyboardIncredible power for the price

Abstract: Netbooks are great and all, but boy are they wimpy. If you want to do anything more than compose a Word doc, surf the web, or view some pictures, you’ll likely be in for a slow, laggy ride. Alienware, the Dell-owned, Florida-based maker of powerful com...
Light on weight, with a funky design and a relatively clean Windows install.
Location of input/output ports causes space issues. Reflective display can be hard to view. No webcam. For an expensive device marketed at gamers, it's not particularly powerful.
