Alienware's M11x Gets $799 Price
Earlier this month, Alienware announced a 'nearly netbook' packing Nvidia GT335M. The company promised we'd see a sub-$1,000 pricetag when the M11x shipped in spring and boy, did they deliver.
A little source code detective work shows that the M11x will be priced at $799. An Engadget tipster points out that, although the M11x microsite offers no details on price, the source code contains the following morsel of information:
"The Alienware M11x, with over 6.5 hours of battery life and weighing under 4.5 lbs. will start at an amazing $799! Leave it to the folks at Alienware to enable truly mobile performance gaming at an affordable price."
The display is a little small (11.6-inches) but it packs enough punch to be well equipped for gaming on an external display with VGA, HDMI and DisplayPort options.
Any takers?

You didn't have to view source code to see that, if you entered the sweepstakes on the site, it told you that in plain English after you registered.
Yup, im getting one.
Yep me too!
if i can sell my Asus g50vt-x5 then I will def get this.
All they need to do now is make a tablet version of this with multitouch for $1200, and a version with a 13 or 14" screen for $1400 and I'd be sold.
Seems like a decent buy.
I hope they don't copy Apple abd make a tablet.
And then bolt on dual 5850M's.

Unfortunately, not everyone can enter the sweepstakes. It is America-only.
Tom's, fix your "Add URL" feature.

There is no way the GT335M is in the package at $799. I was already suspecting a base config with integrated graphics or a weaker card at $999... now it's a sure thing.
OH, hell yes. I gotta see how I can customize it first
Basically it's got a GT240 with DDR3. I'd rather get a laptop with the Radeon 5700 (mobility 5800).
I'm guessing we'll have to keep it in the freezer while operating! Or six fans all around it at once.
Netbook = No Thanks
Wish I would have held off before I got my M17...would prefer the size of the 11x
Core 2 Duo = Pass
Put in a core ix ulv like Asus and other vendors and well talk.
If it has a 6.5 hour battery life, I doubt it'll generate a ton of heat, unless it's throttled back that much on battery.
Getting one in the spring ,the bling of a alienware gaming laptop for $799 I'm all over it!
i hope they change the design >_<
Good ole' NCC-1701-D. The Cadillac of starships
It's very nice but my budget is under $400, which I already bought my laptop from Toshiba and it's working fine!
I'm getting one. I was ready to blow $1k. If it's $1k with the GT335, I'm there.
Nobody is going to game on this. It does serve as powerful portable. Powerful compared to traditional netbooks. It'll be like having a fully functional laptop with a 12 inch screen! Yay!
I was planning on buying a couple of Asus UL40s for my gf and I. Glad I waited, this is going to be a lot better. I just hope you can get the came CPU speed as the UL40's overclocked at 1.73GHz. I know it's not going to have the battery life, but much faster, a much better display. Can't wait to see what options are going to be available for it.
pass. i want a dx11 card not old tech re-hash from nvidia.
michaelnyden, the bigger the screen the cheaper the laptop, always been that way.
all the models will have the GT335m
the options will be hard drive size and processor (between a SU4100 and SU7300)
this has been highly anticipated at the notebook review forums
ahhh...america only...fun eh?
Dude no joke my wife just ripped out the hardrive from her laptop to get this. Plurtghdftgv fsdtyhs hys f
I don't get gaming laptops... gaming netbooks seem even more pointless. Where do laptop gamers play their games? In school? At the beach? On the toilet? I wouldn't play on a laptop even if it was cheaper than a desktop equivalent.
This is exactly the netbook/laptop replacement that I have been waiting for. Perfect for someone who is traveling all the time. Gaming on the run is finally a reality. Great!
