    Quick test: Ask yourself what you want out of a laptop.

    If the word "portable" isn't one of the first words out of your mouth, don't buy an Alienware M11x.

    If you *DO* want a portable laptop, be aware that you are going to be sacrificing a lot in order to get that portability... particularly, a drop in CPU speed and screen size. The GPU's between the two laptops are about the same, with the ATI Mobility Radeon 5650 being slightly faster.
