You can stop asking now.

It's probably wrong to call this a netbook, but it does have an 11.6-inch display and up to 6.5 hours of battery life. Its thickness and weight make it a bit beefier than other ultraportables, but there's one thing that sets this apart from others in the same size segment.
It plays Crysis.
Yesterday, Alienware announced at CES the M11x gaming laptop. Details are light at the moment, but we know it'll be powered with a Nvidia GT335M switchable graphics and an Intel CPU. It'll be well equipped for gaming on an external display too with VGA, HDMI and DisplayPort options.




It'll all start at under $1,000 when it ships this spring.

They had to pry it out of the Developer's and the Tech's Hands first before they could finally finish the product and ship it!
C'mon, guys, I gotta ask it once before they whup crysis for good!
Also, I like the way Alienware does their keyboards. They're well lit, but not glaring to the point it distracts you from the images on your screen.

All you MAC haters...keep hatin. LOL!
You might also notice that its floating in space... those are not meant to be actual shots, they look like nice renders.
But can it play Skifree?
Have to agree. If they really sell it as described for under $1,000 I'll be shocked. Heck, I might even be tempted to buy one. Fact of the matter is though, no laptop capable of truly playing Crysis with brand new tech in it is going to retail for less than $1,000.
But if they did make it happen, I could see reason for every other 'gaming' laptop on the market to instantly collect dust on retail shelves.
The're on the back, next to the power connector.
