New 11x Order :) - Age Group?

I'm 26 and got my m11x R1 back in March, it actually came a week earlier then estimated date. I love this thing, no problems so far with hinge or OC. Use it everyday and lots of hours of gaming. Ordered it with the Neoprene sleeve and orian messenger bag and absolutly love them. I keep everything i could possibly need in it and its very good quality.

 

I got my R1 around may. I am 25yo and use it every day for studies and work. VERY happy with it except from the hinges breaking once, and GTA IV not running as smooth as I wish.

 

recieved my m11x R2 few days ago, age 28, word processing and gaming while waiting for class. runs starcraft 2 like butter, love it!!!

 

You're all babies! I for one won't tell my age, female perogative. Let's just say they call my age group the new 20s and I have an M11x which I use to game and write novels on.

 

Same here.

Saw Lacuna Coil in your signature. You would love a game called Vampire Blood Redemption. It features some music from Lacuna Coil and other similar groups. The music in the game is amazing; in fact, the whole game is a trip and a half.
It's worth buying the game just for the music track, but the game is great on its own with lots of replayability.
Best Buy used to sell the music track for the game separately when the game first debuted.

 

I'm 30 and I still love gaming. It also makes a decent counterpart to my workstation, although I run my productivity software on a Dell Vostro 200. I have an R1 M11X, SU4300, 4GB Ram, Win7 Home Premium.

 

I've heard of 11 yr old developers, so it isn't far out of the question. Although I think he's using it to play COD in class instead.

As for me, I'm 22 and I usually use the computer for general computing, school, and the occasional game or two. Just got through playing Kane and Lynch 2 on my big screen with the M11x and it is pretty damn impressive what this little thing can do.

 

@tears
I don't even have COD
I do have TUNA though...horrible pun is horrible.
In all honesty, I just needed a laptop of my own (I shared my desktop and laptop with my parents).
But I decided to get something that would last me for the next 3 or so years.

 

By the gear list that you have, is sounds like you are down for a LAN party at a moment's notice!

 

I guess I am younger than most ppl in this thread (turned 19 this year)...still feel kinda old though. I got this for college since it's extremely portable while also being quite powerful. Use it for mostly gaming and school work.

 

I am 37 and have been gaming since my dad bought a TRS-80 with 16kB RAM (yes kB) and a cassette tape drive around 1977. I remember upgrading to 32kB by adding a module under the monitor that was larger than the yellow pages. My dad loved tech so we always had a decent computer in the house.

I use my M11xR2 mostly in bed after wifey is asleep (glad the fans are quiet). I play until I am so tired I have to put it on the nightstand and fall asleep. Lame, but after the wife and kids are asleep, that is my time to be a night owl and game! The small form factor is great for work trips/flights as well.

TRS-80? That is really cool. I still use my Roland MT-32 and SC-55 for Midi support- through USB cable on my m11x. I miss the old tech, ISA cards and all that.

 

@Ebon - Not me.. ! I dont miss most of the old stuff. The old ESDI drives (486x days) were a pain in the "A". It took forever for some of those old tapes(trs80 days) to load up as well. I do recall, a couple of games that my neighbor had that we used to love and play. He had a commidore64 and we played that rollerball game to all hours of the night, along with the Olympics... (I am laughing so hard here)... The olympics where you had to "whack" the joystick back and forth real fast to run and then hit the button to jump. Oh god I am laughing here.

We all also played Ultima 3 and 4 one summer. All summer long when it was 100+. WE did that during the day and then snuck out at night. Part time geek, full time miscreant!

Oh, the good ol' days...

 

i'm 23, i have had the m11x for 5 months, usually use this little boy 8 hours per day. Remember my first pc was a pentium MMX 166 Mhz, 2 Mb graphic card, played fallout, Nox... for a long time and 4 years later, it suddenly died without any will, haha. I live in Viet Nam, going to study in Edmonton, Canada next year, hope my boy still alive at that time -,-

 

Just turned 32 last Wednesday (the 1st), and my M11x will be for gaming away from home, surfing the web while gaming on my desktop, and finally writing that novel I've always wanted to.

I started getting serious with computers late in life; I was a senior in high school, circa 1996. My first computer was a 166Mhz Pentium that I overclocked via jumpers to 200Mhz so I could run Diablo better. That little Pentium and my Creative Voodoo Banshee had some good times! I kinda miss the old days of jumpers. It feels wrong OC'ing my new Athlon II 965 in software! Its nice for testing, but I set it in the BIOS afterward just to be sure. . .

 

heheh, can't believe how many of the punch card generation is into these little boxes LOL. Well i played with the TI, the sinclair, the appollo's etc., but my work started with the punchies on the first CDC doing cobol and fortran. Had more puters than I can count, amazing how my first compaq luggable still runs
Happened to pull out one of my 'executive' compaq's the other day. Almost identical in size to the M11x LOL. Still runs.

Leo6? are you vietnamese? or an expatriate? And where are you from in VN?
I known some of that ground.

55 and been building computers since the 8086...and Cakewalk one in my little Home Studio which has grown. Two Blue fans under the desk.


I am a Gigabyte MB buyer. If Sagar had an 11" with an i5 540 QM and a 335 I would be all over it. As it is they only have a 15" with those specs which i will get when and if I send the M11x back. Asus has the best reliability Apple is 4th in from of Dell.


I buy refurb lappys and build my desktops. (except of my wifes little $400 office Optiplex refurb)

 

really O.O ?
I've been living in VN since I was born I'm Vietnamese.
how do you know VN ? everybody usually ask me "where is Vietnam?" T.T
what's your nationality ?

 

leo,
war.
I"m a native american hybrid- Cherokee, Comanche.

"where is Vietnam?" now that is a sad commentary on our history educators.

Kingfrog, that is a sweet music setup! You don't have a Fairlight CMI station by any chance, do you?

 

God no....Todays Workstations are far better..In thier day they were indeed the shyte though and cost 10s of thousands along with the synclavier. The Tyros does what they did and a ton more....and the voices are real samples each keys is multi sampled over20 times on some voices. IF you play a classical guitar part you get the fret noise and pick dynamics......Check them out on You Tube
I am using a Yamaha XS8 and a Yamaha Tyros 3

YouTube - Bert Smorenburg and the Yamaha MOTIF XS

YouTube - Tyros 3 Demonstration Movie

Amazing boards.........and tools for writing songs and creating tracks for , short films, and Karaoke singers as well LOL

The XS8 is firewired to send 16 channels to the PC at once to Sonar or Cubase (and maybe to the M11X.....LOL)

 

I'll be 43 in just a few weeks and have been gaming since getting a colecovision around the age of 10 I have had my m11x R2 for about a week now and really like everything but the screen. I compare the screen to my Asus, which has the great screen but misses on portability.

 

23 here. Needed something for school to take notes on / do homework in between classes / game when I don't feel like doing homework This could do all of that without being a giant piece of machinery to lug around all day. Plus it has an 8 cell battery to keep it going throughout the day.

It's my first time purchasing an Alienware... I used to think Alienware computers were all overpriced for the specs and only sold because of the cases/the name... but the M11x does what no netbook has done yet, and for a reasonable price this time for the specs.

I haven't been gaming as long as a lot of you here. I started when I was 3 on the Nintendo Entertainment System playing Mario, Tiger Heli, and Operation Wolf... and was a console gamer only, until high school, where I discovered the wonders of computer gaming.

 

i am 24 and a University student. the m11x is definitely a unique laptop given its power, battery life and size. this is my first Alienware and i am impressed with the notebook.

 

I'm 24, and i've been playing games since the NES.
Got into PC gaming during my Sophomore year in High School and started out with a custom built Shuttle SFF computer. Since then, i've always prefered portable or mATX systems.
The M11x is the perfect combination of both and allows me to play games just about anywhere on the go.

 

I am 52 love the protablity and the power that the M11x brings to the 11-12 inch size of laptop.
My first computer was a timex/sinclar T99 with a membrane keyboard. black and white tv for a screen and cassette deck to load basic programs. Have worked in the security field for the last 30 years

Most fun computer was commadore amiga A500

 

26, Marine Biologist. m11x is compact and powerful enough for gaming, some work and movies.. cool stuff..

 

47 and have a house full of computers. I now run my life from the M11x, with my desk PC only for gaming when at home.

First PC at school was a mainframe line followed by an Apple II then the ZX80's appeared (in kit form). I still have my BBC B in the loft

 

Reviving this old thread with my first post to say thank you. Knowing that I'm not the oldest in here (32) is a great comfort. I was starting to wonder...

Just ordered an R1 and stumbled on these forums. What an awesome community. I was very close to finalizing an order for a HP dm1z or something similar with the new AMD Fusion. For roughly $100 more, the m11x R1 beats the fusion in about every benchmark other than maybe battery life and even that is pretty darn good in the m11x. The clincher is the m11x community though. There is no replacement for product popularity and a great community like this one helping each other out.

 

I just ordered an M11x R1. I'm 31 years old.

I'm a geek that does pc repair on the side and am a Massage Therapist. I still enjoy gaming sometimes. Currently I've been loving L4D1 and L4D2 the most.

I run Pandora for mood and atmospheric music. Sometimes I use my droid and sometimes my laptop. I have been working on my website more and have been going to coffee shops to do it. I find it fun and relaxing.

The high resolution will make it so I can view pages and detail like my other notebooks.

I always bring a laptop to job sites for pc repair jobs. I never know when I might need it. If I can take data off or read a HDD right from my powerful little computer or get rid of spyware/malware/viruses etc that saves me time.

Also I'm just a geek that loves small powerful things!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I´m 28 years old, I´m a veterinary, I use it for work and to game on it, also I use it as my main computer, I have all 5 consoles this gen (Wii, DS, PSP, PS3 and Xbox) and I have 4 months with my m11x...

 

This is the part I love the most about being an adult.

You get a job, start earning decent money, and can start buying awesome toys for yourself like the Alienware M11x.

 

I bought one for my 23y/o girlfriend. She loves it and uses it to build websites, render video, play games, etc. It's pretty much a desktop replacement for her.

But damn, this thread brings back memories. When I was a kid, I had an Atari 1200XL. I was saving up for an Indus GT floppy drive (which was something retarded like $400), but ended up buying a new Colt AR-15 instead.

 

Got mine as a 40th birthday gift.

 

Dang I guess I am one of the older ones here...I'm 40!

Speaking like an 'old guy', it has been amazing seeing how much technology has advanced over the years. Believe it or not, our first home 'gaming' system was a home 'pong' console! I'm also part of the generation of kids that 'grew up' in the arcades. Good times!

 

Well 41 here and I can't turn off my R1. Just too much fun to use. I've been enjoying WOW, Guild Wars, MW, etc. I write mac & iphone software for a living so it's nice to go home and use my m11x--the coolest ever Windows box IMO--to fight things and blow s**t up.

(I remember that Pong console too; and i wore out my atari 2600 several times including the exceptionally crappy plastic joysticks.)
