Plz vote for a new 11 incher from AW

http://poll.pollcode.com/d5pxb

Hey guys! The link is a simple voting site i've made and i Will post it on their facebook 30th august.

So yeah please leave a vote

Thanks

 

Why not use IdeaStorm? They're much more likely to look at it there.

 

Because it is already there and was ignored i just Want to make an eye opener hoping they Will see it.. Craves you vote tho

 

It won't come back. They nixed it and kept the 14 for a reason. No-one was buying the 11 once the 14 came along.

 

Rubbish..

"we're hoping Razer can pull that off with the new 14-inch Blade, or maybe even Alienware itself should it reintroduce an 11-inch gaming machine. When I ask whether the M11x will see a successor, Frank Azor suggests it's a possibility. "The 11-inch was very disruptive," he says. "We want to be disruptive again.""

The 14 inch is nothing Like the 11

 

lol only three votes. (I was one of them)

I might consider heading up a team for development of an m11x with dell via kickstarter. Will just have to come up with some basic designs in cad, and then, voila, kickstart it!

hmm. Actually, that is not total bs - could happen..... My day just got that much better.

 

An 11-inch system is more or less a novelty item and it is just way too small for serious performance. There is not enough space for robust CPU and GPU components and the heats sink large enough to effectively cool them. Alienware's reputation is built on performance, not compromises. You can get small (thin and light) system capable of doing light gaming from others sources already, so you've got to be able to steal part of the business from another brand among a small pool of customers that wants something like that. If we learn from mistakes of the past, you would end up having the something that looks like an Alienware, but isn't physically capable of living up to the reputation. In other words, you can't put 10 pounds of sand in a 5 pound bag. It just won't fit because there is not enough space for it. When you go small, you have to start cutting corners as a matter of necessity and that is the exact opposite of what the Alienware name means to enthusiasts. I am not saying it is wrong to want one... different stroke for different folks. All I am saying is that it is unrealistic to expect Alienware to consider building something like that because it would appeal to only a small segment of gamers that are OK with major compromises in performance and the majority of the folks in that same small group will take the smallest version of what is offered instead. It's cheaper and more profitable to do business that way. Selling one machine to a larger group is smarter than selling two in lower volume to two smaller customer groups.

Another way to look at it would be only a portion of the Alienware 14 customers would be interested in downgrading to something smaller. Some probably regret not getting something larger. All other Alienware customers did, in fact, buy a 17 or 18 and wouldn't want to go smaller. So, small potatoes, small interest group, small profit, small performance.

 

I see what you mean and i do not agree about every thing.
Because the m11x also where cheap you know starting at 700 dollars?? And while it's not a desktop replacement it still os power full enough to run all games in a good quality.. And being able to put quad core and 650m in a 11 inch as we see in the clevo w110er it really is powerfull.. I mean the m14x ran 555 Right? That was not that much better Than the 540 in the smaller m11x...

And they sold so Many m11x's so a relaunch with an $700 version of their new redesign and a super portable gaming laptop Would give some Young not so demanding gamers a chance to buy it.. People with a low budget?.. I mean even i Would buy it just for s School and on the go laptop

 

13" is about the smallest you can pack in a serious GPU.

 

I would love to see alienware package the m11x with an accelerator unit like an eGPU or eCPU or both for desktop use. That would be cool imo.

 

Got my vote in.

This is not a discussion thread for anyone that don't know how to read the title.

 

All threads are discussion threads, as long as they are on topic. If not, we can just close it and make it read-only.

 

I think you should do so, as a read only with the link to the poll to vote for the Alieneware 11. Otherwise there will be others who will put their two cents, on why they should/should not make the Alienware 11. All the op want is a poll to see who is interested , and who is not, so he can post it for Alienware.

 

I'm such a Noob in here ^^ but yes it was just so i could post it as an eye opener for alienware..

 

It would be important for Alienware to know what a majority of customers think and want rather what a select group of like-minded customers think and want. If the thread were to be locked, it wouldn't be of much value to them. If it was posted at IdeaStorm once before and did not get many promotion votes, that might be an indication of what the majority think and want.

If you want me to close this thread, please send me a PM and I'll do it. I think doing so may not accomplish what you were hoping to accomplish by starting the thread to begin with. In other words, it will not be an eye-opener for them.

 

The guy on ideastorm wasn't announcing it as good as i'm trying he had no determination. Anyway do not close it i Think it's good that People talk but i'm abit tired hearing all This talking about the m14x because it just isn't as portable as the m11x

 

Voted. I didn't know that they removed this one. I was going to buy one that's why I enter this thread, to find that they didn't make it. Well I do like the idea of a powerful 11" laptop since its easier to make a powerful 15"+ laptop.

 

Man.. Sorry but it was discontinued in 2012 but thx and yes it's an very cool idea and cheap! o;

 

Without discussion, the thread gets pushed back and will never be seen. Cutting off your nose to spite your face here.

And I agree with the others. There's no need for a "gaming" 11" laptop.

Oh, and Rengsey, the OP tried to vote on this before to no avail. I think that tells you something, though I'm all for second chances.

Lastly, it's a public forum. Expect public responses.

 

There is a thing called " pinned " , but of course seeing that the mod don't like the AW 11 to be made from his first post, including you, it just defeats the purpose ton have this thread. Having said this, this thread has gotten into a " discussion thread " , which is now derailing from the original post of what the OP really wants. I see how you guys are helping the community.

And I believe your saying about " cutting the nose ..blah blah blah " , but for the right reason. Its common sense to pin a topic, so it won't get pushed back, but I guess it is not common sense, that I don't have to tell you.

 

Stickies in this forum are meant for information and extremely popular threads, not every pet cause people have. If it were, we'd have to go through two pages before we'd see new topics!

Either way, I'd just take my money elsewhere if they're not willing to make an Alienware 11. It's the reasonable thing to do.

It's a neat idea, but I rather like the 13" form factor instead, and think that would make for a better laptop. The M11x had basically a 12" screen.. Trim the body, make it a slim and light, toss in a 750m or 760m w/ the 37w 4702MQ or the 28w 4558U and make it 13" @ 900p, and I think it would sell pretty well.

But that sector has gotten more expensive, and you probably won't like the price that comes with it.

 

I'm well aware of pinning a topic. Or, stickies as they're sometimes referred to. But go look at the stickies. It's all general help, guidelines, how to search and one is a particular trouble shooting issue. Beyond that, they're all large topics of discussion either based on popularity or that they're needed, neither apply in this case.

And we are helping, by posting. It keeps the thread moved up as there's no need to keep it pinned because three of you want it pinned. Every thread is a discussion thread, because this is a discussion forum

If we all agreed, what's the point of even having a forum? Think on that.

It's not common sense to pin a topic that isn't necessary or needed. Even if we pinned this, there would be no responses to it in a week, and even if there was a response, the activity would be extremely minimal.

Oh lock it and pin it you say? For your own selfish reasons? Because it "makes sense?" You missed the part where this has been tried before and didn't garner any attention? Go take a look at the 11x thread. Activity isn't really all that high over there.

Again, stickies and pinned topics are generally used for important discussion, and what's important for the forum as a whole, not because you want it to be.

 

The op mentioned he will bring up the pole to AW facebook page on Aug. 30th, it is a temporarily sticky/pin if it happens to get sticky/pin, don't you know how to read? It is not permanent. It is not about selfishness either. If you put up a poll about something that you want to see happen and user post negative comments, how well do you think the pole will turn out. The comment from user started off bad anyway. So it has to be mentioned before it gets out of hand. The op mentioned " a simple vote " pole , not a BASH AW11 pole, everyone just need to be considerate.

 

The whole point was you May Think a new m11x is an bad idea.. That is why you can wont yes or no....

damn Mobile phone autocorrect.. ^^

I'm not trying to get a Lesson on what we need and your aurguments are not exactly good.. You May not Want it but Think about other People every once in a while

 

Haters will always hate, I will put it simple. You don't like the M11x? then just vote no, say why and keep going. You don't need to argue with everyone that like the idea. I actually have some projects that I will be doing with it, I will give it a couple of months to see if the new 11 make it, if it doesn't, well the M11x looks perfect enough for me

 

Yes, I'll be sure to think of the half dozen of you that think an 11" laptop is worthwhile.

The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.

Also, note I said there was no "need" for a "gaming" laptop. I'd consider an 11" Alienware just fine, but I wouldn't be doing too much gaming on it myself. Which, kinda kills the point of an 11" Alienware. I never gave an argument as to why, except that I agreed with the others. Video card size, overheating, ventilation issues, the list goes on. My "arguments" are just as sound as the others, because I agreed with them. It's a novelty.

I "hate" this phrase. People who generally respond with it have nothing to say regarding the conversation at hand and bring nothing to the table.

No one is arguing about the idea. If anything is being argued it's what merits being stickied topic or not. Clearly, based on the other stickies and the moderation staff, this isn't something that needs to be "stuck." And just because a moderator doesn't agree (and gave valid reasons why) doesn't mean he's a "hater" or carries a vendetta. There are guidelines for stickies, and clearly this isn't one of them.

Again, for the third time, this has been done before with minute results. History tends to repeat itself and it seems to be doing so again. It's hardly worth a sticky.

That's the "argument."

But hey, I'm a "hater." Get a better phrase.

What does Facebook have to do with this forum? The official AW Facebook has no bearing on what becomes a sticky or not, nor is it the decision of the OP.

Don't you know how to spell "poll?" Please don't insult me when you cannot tell the difference between a community driven vote and a cylindrical rod.

Also, the no one mentioned a sticky until you did. Are you sure you know how to read?

No one bashed the idea of the 11. Not a one. Go re-read the thread. There were others that gave reasons why as to why it didn't work, and why it wouldn't work based on experience and knowledge that's available here, on the forums. It's not bashing, it's seeing it from all angles.

 

Worst case you could always get a nVidia Shield

 

I was considering that, but then the streaming aspect... nope. I'd rather just use OnLive myself.
