Alienware M11x (Core i7)
If you have Alienware’s reputation, morphing an 11-inch laptop into a mighty gaming rig is easier than it looks.

This second iteration of the Alienware M11x line has been updated with a low-voltage Intel Core i7 processor (from a Core 2 Duo) and Nvidia’s Optimus switching graphics technology. More important, the laptop’s powerful Nvidia gaming card breezed through all our gaming tests, while costing a fraction of what would pay for an adult-sized Alienware laptop. Though it won’t replace bigger, hardcore gaming rigs, the M11x is a perfect fit for competitive road-gamers.
Dell Studio XPS 7100
The Dell Studio XPS 7100 ($1,149 direct) is a genre-straddling kind of desktop PC. On one end, it has a quick multimedia PC with a six-core AMD processor and 1.5TB hard drive. On the other, it comes with an ATI Radeon HD 5870 graphics card, so it’s a contender as one of the better entry-level gaming rigs. Packed with a lot of future proof technology, the system’s price tag won’t break the bank. All in all, that translates into an Editors’ Choice win for the Studio XPS 7100, in mainstream multimedia system under $1,500.
