It’s turning into a day of unboxings here at SlashGear; after the HTC Legend earlier on, now it’s the turn of Dell’s Alienware M11x to strut its stuff in front of the camera. An 11.6-inch ultraportable, the M11x distinguishes itself by virtue of Dell’s ambitious gaming claims, and to deliver on those they’ve packed it full of performance hardware. Check out our first impressions and unboxing video after the cut.
It comes as little surprise, given the details leaked earlier this week, but Dell have officially announced pricing and specifications for the Alienware M11x 11-inch notebook. As expected, the M11x will start from $799 and be available with processors up to Intel’s 1.3GHz Core 2 Duo SU7300, up to 8GB of DDR3 memory and up to 8hrs of battery life.
The Alienware M11x netbook we covered a few days ago priced at $799 has had its specs detailed and shipping date announced all in the same day, today. The netbook comes with two CPU flavors, as well as several other options. It’s shipping March 1st, for all those anxious to snag up an unit.
An 11.6-inch display, dedicated Nvidia GT335M graphics with switchable option , Core 2 Duo processor, and 6 ½ hours of battery juice. I’m describing a netbook, Alienware’s new M11x netbook, and that’s all for just $799. That’s the most affordable I’ve ever seen for an Alienware product, well excluding those gaming t-shirts.
The Alienware M11x ultraportable wasn’t the only gaming hardware Dell took on stage with them at CES 2010 this morning; the company had two more, larger Alienware notebooks that use Intel’s latest Core i7 mobile processors, the Alienware M17x and M15x, together with a new 3D-capable monitor, the 23-inch Alienware OptX AW2310.
Dell have announced a new Alienware ultraportable, the 11.6-inch M11X. Set to start off from $999, the Alienware M11X offers both NVIDIA GT335M and integrated graphics, which can be switched between regular and gaming modes depending on how willing you are to sacrifice battery life. The bottom line? Expect 6.5hrs in battery mode, or plunging to around 2hrs in gaming mode.
Dell and Alienware have unveiled five new gaming notebooks that will be hitting the market soon. The new machines include the M15x laptop, the M17x laptops and new gaming desktops. Really, the machines aren’t all new models, but have been upgraded with new components.
Alienware is Dell’s gaming arm and the brand is typically associated with gaming notebooks and desktops more that it is with peripherals. That didn’t stop Alienware from unveiling a new line of gaming peripherals today including a new keyboard, headphones, LCD, and mouse.
Alienware is known for their gaming notebooks and computers and they’ve just announced a new version of their M17x notebook called the Nebula Red. While not exactly revolutionary, this new version does add a few features worth noting.
Alienware revealed a new display today that’s meant for those that like to watch movies or play video games on their computers. It’s called the OptX AW2210 and this display measures in at 21.5-inches.
