Alienware M11x ultraportable to be ordered

February 2nd, 2010

Hanging out for Alienware’s ultraportable M11x laptop? Well, you’ll be pleased to know that it’s now available for pre-order over at Dell. Yes, that’s right, you still won’t get your grubby little mits on it until March. Still keen? If so here’s the low-down on the M11x

* Windows 7 Home Premium, 64 bit
* Intel Pentium SU4100 1.3GHz (2MB Cache)
* 2 GB Dual Channel DDR3 (800MHz)
* 160 GB SATAII HDD spinning at 5,400RPM
* 1 GB NVIDIA GeForce GT 335M
* 11.6-inch WideHD 1366×768 (720p) WLED
* Internal High-Definition Surround Sound Audio (5.1)
* Integrated 10/100 Network Interface Card
* 1.3MP Web Cam

Not a lot to write home about but the price tag is only $800. Battery life is rumoured (by Dell) to be around 8.5 hours which is pretty good these days. As with all Dell products you can add on, err, add-ons for a price. For example, doubling your memory to 4 GB will set you back $50, $150 will get you 500 GB of HDD whilst a cool $570 will snag you a 256 GB SSD. If the Alienware M11x ultraportable laptop sounds like your cup of tea then stroll on over to the Dell website.
