PCPerspective: I've never been much for portable gaming systems. In my life I've bought a Gameboy, a DS, and a DS Lite – and each time I've sold the system within a few months of having made the purchase. This buy-sell-buy-sell trend is the result of an internal conflict that I have yet to resolve. I love the idea of portable gaming, but I’m not a fan of the often cutesy and limited games usually found on these systems.
Alienware's M11x provides a possible solution. It's not a hand-held system, but it's portable enough to carry around in a small messenger bag or even a large purse. Gaming netbook is a term I've heard used, and it's a description that feels accurate even though it's technically incorrect. The M11x combines the smaller-is-better trend prevalent in consumer electronics with Alienware's brand of big, chunky, high-end gaming laptops.
The Pundit Report writes: "Benchmark scores and performance reports from users which show how the overclocked 650m in the rMBP outperforms the Alienware m17x 660m when there is consistent demand, like gaming."
Alienware laptops provokes thoughts of a huge laptop with crazy performance figures,although they brought forward some fantastic machines they have always wanted to push the envelope. Now they have come out with m11x r3 with specifications taking a huge leap forward for an 11″ laptop and thereby boosting its performance.
Yeah this laptop packs some serious power, price is still insane though. You could easily build a desktop that will outperform this for less the cost of this laptop.
Engadget - And this, friends, is how you make the leap into the mainstream. Bigfoot Networks has been toiling away in an effort to get its gaming-optimized networking guts into just about everything -- there's also a VisionTek GPU with Killer innards, and a trifecta of mainboard makers announced that they too would be joining the bustling integration party earlier in the year.
