Alienware M11x Laptop for $$749.00

joytime360 · Jul 30, 2010, 05:40 AM

Dell EPP has Alienware M11x Laptop for $749 when you enter code XQ9D3C64DQ7B3D at checkout.
What do you think about this laptop? Is it a good price ???

Phxprovost · Jul 30, 2010, 05:51 AM

isnt the M11x a ~$1k netbook or something?

shevanel · Jul 30, 2010, 06:00 AM

It's the entry level AW laptop in a "netbook" body.. hard to call it a netbook with a 335m and an i7 cpu imo but I think the $749 price only includes a c2d and not an i7. IIt is nice but for nearly the same price or just a few bucks more you could get something a bit better.

For $749 shipped it's a pretty decent deal though. Since it is so small it's perfect for travel but I think I would grow tired of the small display very quickly.

If I had $800 to spend on a laptop I'd probably go ahead and grab this simply for the wow factor of owning something this cool looking even though it does have a few shortcomings. (no gigabit ethernet jack, small screen, flat keys, poorly rated hinges, small capacity 5400rpm hdd, 1.3ghz cpu etc)

ooooh its overclockable that sounds like a great idea

seriously tho for 800 bucks its better made then most laptops in its price range just dont expect to be alienware fast

Frick · Jul 30, 2010, 07:00 AM

That's the i5 version. Sweet deal, you should be able to play Crysis on mid/high on it.

Yeah thats a great deal. The laptop starting price is $779. So $749 is great and it has some awesome specs.

Well its not a netbook, but they say its the smallest notebook with a 11" screen.

I do not see where you see you get the i5 version for $749

I see the i5 version for 999 -$100 discount for $899

DonInKansas · Jul 30, 2010, 04:31 PM

$750 dollar netbook is still a $750 netbook. Pretty sure all that "horsepower" still isn't gonna save your eyes trying to "game" on that "screen."

^^ I love the quotes. I see somebody with their fingers in the air doing the quote symbols when reading that sentence.

I see that too, I didn't actually go to the Dell page until now. Hrm hrm.

You tried to apply the code at checkout btw? I can't go there now, browser hangs when I try to.

trt740 · Jul 30, 2010, 05:28 PM

I don't think much of it and it is overpriced.

ToTTenTranz · Jul 30, 2010, 06:12 PM

The one thing I don't like about the M11x is the fact that it has a 11.6" screen in a 12/13" body.

Apart from that, it's a great subnotebook and that's certainly a great price to pay for it. If I could get that laptop in my country for that price, I would consider buying it for sure.

It is. It's an 11.6 screen and i've got a little netbook at the same size and it's a pain in the ass to browse the web nvm game on it.

This. Yes, we're arguing semantics but an 11.5" screen doesn't read as laptop to me.

Anything around that size is not a lappy definately considered a netbook to me.

Never played a gameboy, Gamegear, PSP, DS etc then? would be perfectly fine for gaming on and its truly capable of mobile gaming unlike some "Gaming" laptops, I like it.

majestic12 · Jul 30, 2010, 07:16 PM

I tried going onto Dell's online store (not through the link provided), but the code doesn't work at checkout for either the Core 2 Duo or i5/i7 models.

Oh well. Would rather have the 15 inch MSI with the 5850 or the Asus G51/G60 instead anyway...

You can't really compare them. If you're used to play lets say Crysis on 22 inch monitor it's huge step to play on a 11 incher.

If you're a hardcore gamer you would want a larger screen imo, but this one might have its uses.

shevanel · Jul 31, 2010, 07:20 AM

11" inch screen way to small for FPS.. could you imagine trying to see enemies from a distance before they see you, they would look like tic-tacs with machine guns.

mdsx1950 · Jul 31, 2010, 08:57 AM

Just like shevanel said. 11" screen is too small. Go buy a M17x lol.

If your a "hardcore" gamer buy a desktop

Marineborn · Jul 31, 2010, 10:51 AM

if you want a gaming laptop just get a asus g73 and outbench peoples desktops and laugh at them. but other then that thats a decet price of that laptop but iwth alienware i never liked em cause your paying for the dam name
