**Official Alienware M11x Owner's Lounge**

Nice to see u here

 

Thats probably in a few days, or even tomorrow for that matter. Owh well, I'm off to bed then. And no IKAS, I do sleep lol.

 

I'd be really suprised if it wasn't soldered to the board with the processor. these smaller form factors don't really have the room to use many expansion/interchangable parts. just be thankfull the memory and hard drive arn't part of the board

 

Waiting impatiently eh?

 

I cant wait!!!

Even though i would probably hold off, at least for now. I want to see how reviews (cnet, nbr, pcmag) rate the system before I spend my precious, limited money on it.

I hope to see an 11" screen, just to get a feel of it. I am afraid it will be too small for normal use, and all this interest is a waste. But why would aw make it too small, if it is ment for gaming?! It simpily cannot be, now can it?

Another option would be to find some cheap desktop replacment, and a netbook. But this guy is too full for a netbook, and will cost too much. So that is really a whole different category.

 

Some ppl says its not worth it to buy the M11x.. Better get a Desktop + Cheap Netbook lol..

 

But it would depends situation, not all people have space for Desktop... hence Notebook is much more preferable.

 

Don't you see that the M11x is meant to be that notebook? Not a cheap netbook though. Netbooks are god-awful pieces of junk. Slow, small, often just nasty. Not to mention the version of Win7 they use is supposedly very cut down.

The M11x provides on-the-go gaming ability as well as high portability, allowing for a desktop as well, and at $800-$1000 it's not exactly massively expensive.

 

Oh great Dell malaysia uses a new logo today LoL.. Its Blue instead of the Black White lol..
www.dell.com.my

 

difficult situation you´re in....
i own a netbook for 2 years now, it´s 10" and i can tell ya, for me, its more than enough, depends what you´re planning to do with it
also, i did some gaming on it, and this is an Atom/Integrated Graphics/2GB Ram, also photoshop isn´t an issue, just needs some sec´s more AND you might not believe it, i rendered an AVCHD video also, BUT that is a different story, it takes time , but hey, that thing isn´t made for that, i hooked it up with my LCD TV, just for fun, and it worked great and on duty i need to connect it with a beamer for a few hours

mine has no fan and it gets, lets say....warm, so maybe thats why DELL didn´t go for the i series, one fan has a lot of work to cool an i and a Nvidia card

of course, i´m not happy with DELL´s decision of release the M11x without the newest i serie, but i´m quite sure, that the M11x will be a little powerhouse and still we are talking about 11", not 13 or 15

i need that beast to be on the go, get some battery life on integrated or sit in a meeting/office plugged in and do some games for a while and the M11x will definitly fulfill my needs

 

I still see the B&W logo

 

Here you go..

 

Finally, after couple times of refresh, the blue Dell come out

 

LoL.. i wonder what's dat huh? hmm.. hinting for M11x? LoL..

@lee_what2004
you're interested in getting one too?

 

just interested to new stuff, buying it is another story

 

Gonna be refreshing like mad tonight!! I'm going to be disappointed if it doesn't come out tomorrow..

 

come on, most of the posts now are about anxiety feelings...

 

Prob because it's been hush hush on hard numbers and official info. Either way I'm excited yet still wanting to leave my options open just in case numbers are a huge let down. Time is money

 

Sadly not for me. I wont be rushing off to get one, as it is still a debate what to get.

I am leaning towards a single system, as multiple can get annoying to set up (one in my dorm, almost always plugged in, the other on the go often). But when I come home for breaks, both will be packed up. Hence no desktop. But this would be best if I were to use my netbook on the go often, and need it for all my classes. I plan to take good old paper and pen notes, for many reasons.

Then within 1 system, what size? 14-15" I would only carry around when I need, and not often, as it may be bulky. But I have a special backpack that holds up to 15", so I am not worried about carrying it.

A smaller system, such as the m11x (that is still textbook/ notebook size, and not netbook-gets-lost-in-backpack size), may come around more often then not, just because it has the battery life, looks sweet to pull out, and is easy to use.

As you can see, I am still torn. But for all following my story, I have decided against the asus. I do not need all day battery, so why get a computer made for that? Instead I could get the Sony CW with better processor, current gen tech, and not pay a premium for it. Much better then the asus.

So once again: sony or alienware (and don't you dare bring up different asus models with core i like I saw, then I will never make up my mind )

 

The display and battery will decide whether i will get this or not.

The build quality should be good seeing that it is quite thick.

 

It's too bad the UL30JT is not out yet, would make your decision easy I think You should head out to a local store and check out the netbooks they have as far as screen size/quality they are mostly all the same from what I have seen. And you will get a feel for the general size of them, might help in your decision making.

If it we're me I would go for a 13-14" in your situation, only reason I will likely buy an 11x is because it is small cheap and plays games. I have other computers to do more important stuff on essentially this will just be a portable gaming machine for me and probably most people that buy it.

 

Hey all I am eagerly awaiting the launch news for the m11x so I set up a twitter account that scrapes the official alienware order page and info site as well as gizmodo for any news about the release. If anyone wants to follow or has any suggestions for other pages I could scrape for info message @m11xlaptop on twitter.

probably reaching here the but image on the M11x alienware page doesn't have the "be the first to know" on the image itself anymore, but written down below hahah. Just plain ole image of M11x now, as if it's near ready for release.. right?!

 

Please don't kill me but this came out the other day and I thought you might like to see it (just in case ).

http://www.xoticpc.com/asus-u30jca1-order-p-2763.html

 

that n310 GPU is terribad compared to the n335.

 

I know. But Chaos isn't necessarily looking for a gaming notebook. He wants something that might last for a while longer and such. Just an option. I'm not too excited about that model personally since it still doesn't have i7. I think I'd rather have the m11x than the u30jc posted on xoticpc.

 

Yeah that one is still i3 without upgrade options so pretty meh although they've shown a model with the i7um

 

Do you mean at CES or at a different website? On the ul30jt thread, someone commented that gentechpc said the ul30jt won't be out until March. At least by that time there should be some good benchmarks on the m11x. I'm just excited to see what the m11x is really capable of.

 

Justin from XoticPC has admitted that the specs may be off. so we shall see what they end up with come shipping day. I have dealt personally with XoticPC and absolutely LOVE how they handle business. I so wish that Flextronix would open up the m11x design to other sellers. I trust XoticPC more than any other seller out there.

On a side note: if it does come with the core i3, the ul30jc would be MUCH more powerful (CPU wise) than both the ul30jt and the m11x. the core i3 is not ulv and therefore about 2-4x as powerful. though the battery life would be severely limited.

core i3 >>> core i7um

 

alienware have just released this today ... some time in the last few hours i think.

http://accessories.euro.dell.com/sn...d=122756&acd=39832a3acb367474492543c01f1fab16

lets hope this week holds more surprises!

 

Haha no. I would prefer to see it now, than after I buy it.

Sadly, the aw, as much as I would love to get it, seems to be too small for me. And the m15x is to expensive and heavy for what I need. Its a shame.

So there is always the new line of asus running core i, the sony cw, and here is another asus I saw on the best buy website. What does this look like? Sadly its core i3 2.13ghz (but that should be plenty for me still).

Asus

The other thing I like about this netbook is that it has the backlit keyboard to so for those looking at the Asus U30JC it doesn't look like that comes with one.

 

Looks like the date now being thrown around is 02/05/10

http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/01/alienware-m11x-netbook-gets-detailed-headed-to-japan-this-mon/

 

price is listed above $900usd for the Japan market. As many already know, laptops in general always cost more in Japan

 

Fail!! >< But thanks for the info otherwise,I'm just disappointed,I was so hoping tomorrow...

 

DUDE!!! white color option!!!

 

It certainly looks white but I have doubts. Could it be the light? I'm not sure. Still, I would not get it white. It makes it look sissy. lol

 

Nice link!!! Is it bad that I kiiiiiiinda want it in white? XD

Edit: ROFL I like the comparison with the Chihuahua weight... XDDDD

 

You can clearly see its white in this image.

http://i2.sinaimg.cn/IT/n/2010-02-02/1265042815_xmG84b.jpg

And here it says its an available color option...

http://i3.sinaimg.cn/IT/cr/2010/0202/4093726243.jpg

 

Oooh,what happened to smoky grey I wonder.

I'm full force stalking this thread even more so now,so pardon me. XDDD

 

Well it says they will begin shipping 2-5-2010, that doesn't mean you won't be able to order until then does it?

 

Will there be much diffrence between the Su4100 and Su7300? All i can see is the Su7300 has a 3mb Cache, will that make alot of diffrence?

 

Doesn't seem to be a huge difference based on the CPU Benchmark website. Says the SU4100 ranks at like 393th place and the SU7300 ranks at like 388th place.

 

SU4100 has no vt.

 

How strange they would give you 2 options that are so similar to each other

 

No vt? Whats vt?

 

But with such a tiny processor, would you need VT-x on it? I think a virtualization on it will send this processor to a screeching halt.

 

On benchmarks the su7300 pulls ahead on some things I remember seeing. The extra mb cache is worth it to me especially for gaming.

Also I agree a 2/5/10 ship should mean we could preorder build earlier. Dunno though just hoping

as for white my guess is that's a Japanese color option. I want grey!!

 

Actually, I installed win xp on my ul30vt with the su7300 cause I needed some XP only programs and it ran quite good...
