Dell launches the Alienware M11x laptop
- sailormoon 17y agoI don't see the point. They go on and on about playing Modern Warfare 2 but surely you need a mouse to play that with any degree of success, rather diminishing the value of the netbook form factor. And nice comment about playing it as you fly from NYC to LA, as if that's something the teenagers who like Alienware computers do every second day - not that you'd have room for the mouse in economy anyway. And is that a VGA out port I spied in the video? What on earth is that doing there? The only conceivable use of VGA out these days is for road warriors connecting to projectors and I can hardly imagine any salesperson wanting to bring this monstrosity into a presentation. And those gaudy, useless LEDs can hardly be good for battery life. Who the hell buys this kind of thing?
- nazgulnarsil 17y agoidiots. a lot of seemingly nonsensical marketing makes more sense when you truly "get" what the average person is like. I recommend touring the flyover states.
- Zak 17y agoI actually find the trackpoint on my Thinkpad to be quite good for gaming. Like a joystick, it allows infinite rotation without having to pause or otherwise adjust.
- sailormoon 17y agoMaybe so, but this unit has a trackpad!
- chipsy 17y agoThe CPU is benchmarked slightly slower than the 17" Lenovo I got for $500 last summer(974 vs 1154 on the Passmark CPU Mark comparison - 999 with the upgrade option), but with much better video, and DDR3. I consider that fairly impressive for a netbook, even a $799 one.
- Zak 17y agoAt 4.5 pounds, this is 50% over the weight of a typical netbook.
- dzlobin 17y agoWould be a pretty nice laptop if it wasn't completely hideous
