It would seem previous rumors suggesting Dell would update the Alienware M11x were true. A Dell spokesperson has supposedly confirmed the miniature gaming machine will get the Core treatment next month.
During a demonstration for Shuffle Magazine, Pearce Clune, Dell's Head of Consumer Operations for Middle East, Africa, and Turkey, revealed that potential purchasers would next month have the option for Intel's ULV Core i3, i5 and i7 CPUs. The new processors will likely drive up the cost of the machine, pushing it past the previous starting point of $800.

other than that, not bad.
The C2D P9700 is 2.80GHz with 6MB cache and with a TDP of 28W. It retails for about $400. Surely the M11x could handle a 28W CPU?
The highest performance 25W i7 is the I7-640LM at 2.13GHz and 4MB cache. It also retails for $400.
So, tell me, were the i(3/5/7) line really that much of an improvement over the C2D in the mobile sector?
Dell, you already had a great line of CPUs waiting, whyh didn't you take the chance before? Marketing BS?
And why the crappy 1366x768 screen? Be innovative, put 1920x1080 on a 13", high resolutions are already available on 15" laptops.
And why the glossy? Bad Dell, bad.
LOL
I do.
Get your eyes checked.
There's phones with 1024x480.
