Alienware's M11x Gets $799 Price

[JMcEntegart]

Earlier this month, Alienware announced a 'nearly netbook' packing Nvidia GT335M. The company promised we'd see a sub-$1,000 pricetag when the M11x shipped in spring and boy, did they deliver.

You didn't have to view source code to see that, if you entered the sweepstakes on the site, it told you that in plain English after you registered.

 

[tapnick]

Yup, im getting one.

 

[logitic]

Yep me too!

 

[griffed88]

All they need to do now is make a tablet version of this with multitouch for $1200, and a version with a 13 or 14" screen for $1400 and I'd be sold.

The 3D performance of the GT335M should be somewhere between the GT 240M and the GTS 250M (with DDR3). Therefore, the GPU should be fast enough to display demanding games (like Modern Warfare 2 or Need for Speed Shift) in medium Details fluently (paired with a powerful CPU). Older or less demanding games like Left 4 Dead should run in high details fluently.

Seems like a decent buy.

I hope they don't copy Apple abd make a tablet.
And then bolt on dual 5850M's.

Unfortunately, not everyone can enter the sweepstakes. It is America-only.

There is no way the GT335M is in the package at $799. I was already suspecting a base config with integrated graphics or a weaker card at $999... now it's a sure thing.

 

[pocketdrummer]

OH, hell yes. I gotta see how I can customize it first

 

[megamanx00]

Basically it's got a GT240 with DDR3. I'd rather get a laptop with the Radeon 5700 (mobility 5800).

 

[haunted one]

I'm guessing we'll have to keep it in the freezer while operating! Or six fans all around it at once.

 

[dark_lord69]

Netbook = No Thanks

 

[mayne92]

Wish I would have held off before I got my M17...would prefer the size of the 11x

 

[cknobman]

Core 2 Duo = Pass

Put in a core ix ulv like Asus and other vendors and well talk.

If it has a 6.5 hour battery life, I doubt it'll generate a ton of heat, unless it's throttled back that much on battery.

 

[miloo]

i hope they change the design >_<

Good ole' NCC-1701-D. The Cadillac of starships

 

[sliem]

It's very nice but my budget is under $400, which I already bought my laptop from Toshiba and it's working fine!

 

[bliq]

I'm getting one. I was ready to blow $1k. If it's $1k with the GT335, I'm there.

 

[rpmrush]

Nobody is going to game on this. It does serve as powerful portable. Powerful compared to traditional netbooks. It'll be like having a fully functional laptop with a 12 inch screen! Yay!

 

[mac_angel]

I was planning on buying a couple of Asus UL40s for my gf and I. Glad I waited, this is going to be a lot better. I just hope you can get the came CPU speed as the UL40's overclocked at 1.73GHz. I know it's not going to have the battery life, but much faster, a much better display. Can't wait to see what options are going to be available for it.

 

[notsleep]

pass. i want a dx11 card not old tech re-hash from nvidia.
