I'm dying for a new system, so its gonna be a toss up between the M11x R3 and M14x for me.
-
-
looks as though previous speculation as to the M17x R3 and M18x being very similar (finish/panel/mb wise) except single vs. dual gpu (and obvious inch larger display) may prove accurate...
-
Sad, there are no news for the Mx11R3 as for the x14 and x18 ...

Wait - if the M15x is indeed replaced by the M14x, then I doubt the price will be too much less than the current $1200 M11x price
. Hopefully the M11x R3 does not disappoint. I just want something with better graphic performance than my MacBook Pro for under $800.
-
When does this mean they will be released?! If they don't refresh the m11x I wouldn't mind too much as long as the M14x is slim enough to lugg around school.
-
Pretty sure the M11xR3 arrives in April as well.
-
-
so what are the chances of the m11x R3 keeping the 335m?
-
-
-
-
Yes it is. I think it will be great.

The M11x better keep the $600 starting price with a R3 model featuring a Core i3 and a new 4xxx card. The very reasonable price is what makes it a really hot seller. If anything, keep adding mediocre screens as default as long as a higher quality (S-IPS, RGB LED, whatever) 1366x768 option is added.

I highly doubt they are going to have an R3 for $600 at launch. The $600 one now is the C2D version, which is over a year old.
-
Michael, you've gotta unattach yourself from these low prices, man. $600 is the starting point of the R1. As i_has_m11x stated, it's the old core 2 duo version. I just sold a USED R2 with MEDIUM specs (640UM 4G memory, 250G HD) for -$810- after someone else sold his used one for $800. And I bought it for $1250 when it was new. This is Alienware we're talking about here. A brand new product with SB processor and updated graphics, even if it is 11", is probably going to start in the $999 neighborhood as morenotebooksplox also stated. The M14x, being even bigger with better components and an optical drive, is going to start even higher. You simply can't set your sights on Alienware with a smaller budget. They will rip your heart out and tear it to pieces.
And what makes it a hot seller isn't the old R1 sitting there for a starter of $599. It's what's always made it a hot seller: The fact that it's the world's smallest gaming laptop. That you don't have to pay a 15x or 17x caliber price is just gravy. -
In a mean while i have decided to wait for a Dell or may be other nice manufacturer (don't know I only respect Sony, Dell and Lenovo) with at least gtx 485m inside, Just can't stand an idea of getting a new machine for around 3000+ usd (probably a cost we get if you go 8 - 16 GB ram, ssd, best screen option, best CPU or second to the best CPU and best Video) with a video component obviously one generation old by the time it is released, there were rumors of M17X R3 getting gtx 485m, well i may consider this one, still 17 inches is too big.
-
I don't think a GTX 485M or anything like it will be inside an actual Dell anytime soon. Right now, the best you can get is the GT 555M in the XPS 17.
I actually have an XPS 15 with a 540M on the way, though. I think it will be enough for my gaming desires. Still glued to the new AW model situation, though. -

The best dell offers is actually the 6970m overall....best nvidia is the GTX 460m (do not let the higher numbers fool you)
-
-
The fact that only 2 resolutions (1366x768) and (1920x1080) are offered on a 14 incher seems odd.
Why is 1600x900 not offered?
1366x768 is too low of a resolution (not good for productivity apps)
1920x1080 is too high of a resolution (the graphics card is not powerful enough from what I know to produce high enough framerates)
What gives?
1600 x 900 would've been perfect. High resolution + high FPS -
m15x has the 460m(or used to)
460m>555m by a lot
6970>460m by a lot
6970>555 .... you do the math -
By the way, Dell has begun construction of the M14x product website which might mean that the m14x might be coming soon. Nothing yet on the M18x, apart from what we already know. -
k so since that flyer for the m14x says its the april catalogue, does that mean they will be available sometime this april?
-
i feel that the m18x won't be out till ivy bridge if they keep going at that pace
-
Engadget just posted an article regarding the M14x. Has some info regarding the specs.

Any links on these mini sites they are making?

IRRC the R1 was $899 with an SU4300, 2gb, 160gb.
IRRC the R2 was $999 with an I5, 2gb, 160gb...
I see no reason why the R3 would be under $999...
my guess for the M14x will be $1199 with a crappy cpu/vid/memory/hdd -
you can look up your own info if you would like...
just use the search bar on the upper right...

Both laptops would be used and suited for different purposes. I probably will wait for the next major MacBook Pro hardware and design revision until I upgrade it, but that historically means I'll be waiting another two years so a cheap gaming computer makes more sense now. -
-
-
I like this thread, but please read the thread before blind posting what you think is news, peeps are reposting the same link from 2 or 3 pages ago saying it is new news
Considering how much info people have been able to find on the m14x compared to the m18x. So I wonder if they will have 11r3 and 14 ready on website in the next few weeks but maybe hold off the 18 till they can show it off at a show. -
m11x r3 comes out by 19th april
-
how do u know that ?
-
-
Really?Would you mind explaining?
-
I could be wrong but I suspect he's referring to the model numbers of the cards and that higher model numbers do not always mean better performance (e.g. performance of 460M>555M)
-
-
-
.
I really hope that this isn't the case. -
Anyone think that The new lineup might be released tomorrow? I mean after seeing those april catalogs for the Uk it makes me think they'll be realeased soon.

Pure speculated awesomeness! -
