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. The Alienware M11x (Core i7) ($1,175 direct) is literally the size of a netbook, except it’s outfitted in Alienware’s signature stealth armor and adorned with color-changing LEDs. 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.
