Alienware's Little Notebook - Yes, it Plays Crysis

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