M11 i5 by Mecman on amazon.com Mar 7, 2012

"Great size, fast & rugged" by kenraz on cnet.com Mar 2, 2012
It is still amazing that in this tiny machine they are able to fit an i-7 processor, 500gb hard disk, 6gb of ram, Nvidia GeForce graphics card and such a great battery into this compact machine. The lack of an optical drive is a bummer, but I understand ...
 
Awesome Laptop by Browntown on newegg.com Jan 10, 2011
Things I DIDN'T know but was pleasantly surprised with: I thought the keyboard was backlit only in red, but the LEDs under the keyboard and the other external lighting are all customizable with 24 colors or something. You can even set them to fade in ...

Horrible QC. Worst RMA experience from Newegg. by Drvudoo on newegg.com Apr 8, 2011
Newegg does a great job getting stuff to me. RMA is just too slow. It's taken a week and is only at the approve state. I might have to start hauling myself to Fry's. I contacted Dell and they said the warranty was under some other company and I need ...

"Too many hardware failures" by mbarzilli on cnet.com Aug 30, 2011
it was a good concept and one that was sorely missing from the market. However, do not buy this product. Get a fast-lightweight notebook/netbook that lets you plug in to an external dock or graphics card for gaming. Dell just messed up the production ...
 
Fatal design flaw by Dell by Samuel M. Rector "Traddad" on amazon.com Oct 27, 2010

First off, the screen is glossy and only of average brightness but the viewing angles and the ability to turn the contrast all the way up and still see a good picture a plus...A fun toy, I hope to enjoy for a long time, and recommend...I would say current Amazon posted Alienware SU7300, 4GM Ram, and 320GB hard driver making a good combination, but $999 is too high (You can m11x i5 version as $999...

Maximum PC | Alienware M11x Review
The terms petite and gaming notebook are about as incongruous as self-restraint and Wall Street, so our curiosity about Alienware’s M11x was naturally mixed with skepticism...Small as it is, the M11x indeed has substance...Deciding on which notebook to use for our zero-point was tricky, as the M11x straddles the gaming and ultraportable categories...to heighten your chances of making the other person look like a fool, and two: with the right information, maybe educate, or inform someone else correctly if they may of been misinformed in the first place...

Alienware M11x review | Laptops | Reviews | PC Pro
Whoever coined the phrase "good things come in small packages" clearly never had the PC gaming community in mind...Flying in the face of such rigid convention comes naturally to Alienware's latest creation, the M11x, which promises to fuse gaming potential with genuine ultraportability...At 1.97kg, the M11x might not give the lightest ultraportables a run for their money, but its combination of dainty dimensions and pulse-quickening gaming ability make it entirely unique...Alienware's decision to partner a fast Nvidia graphics chipset, an overclocked low-voltage processor and a lightning-quick SSD sees the M11x turn in a respectable 0.85 in our application benchmarks - a good 20% faster than any CULV laptop we've tested - and gaming performance is even more sprightly...

Alienware M11x - 11.6in Gaming Laptop review - Laptop - Trusted Reviews
Arguably the Alienware M11x is the first true gaming laptop...Alienware, which is really just a Dell sub-brand these days, looks to have broken this trend in the M11x...Unsurprisingly it costs a good deal more - prices start at £748 and our review model would set you back £1,159, but you get a lot more too...In addition, we have 4GB of 800MHz DDR3 RAM, which is the minimum (and the maximum) we'd recommend on this system...

Beautifully built and stylish looking; impressive battery life; genuine gaming portability....Very pricey with the SSD; rather noisy fan when running at full pelt....Alienware is pretty much as distinctive a computer make as you can get, and unsurprisingly the M11x R3 laptop is something of a looker...The M11x R3 measures 11 by 8.5 inches with an 11.6 inch display, although it's fairly thick and reasonably hefty for its size, it still has a reassuringly solid...

Alienware M11x review | T3
W hen a company makes the claim that it can keep hardcore gamers happy and offer a product that is truly portable, even in todays world, it's acknowledged that that's quite a claim, does the M11x deliver...We reviewed the M11x a few months ago and it is still THE netbook of choice for the discerning gamer...There are other netbooks that can game and other ultra-mobile laptops with dedicated graphics but none that hit the sweet sport as well as the M11x...After seeing so many chiclet keyboards at this size it’s good to see Alienware keep the same backlit keyboard with no gaps between the keys...

Alienware M11x R3 review - Pocket-lint
Ultraportable gaming notebook with plenty of power...No optical drive and a poor keyboard...Gaming laptops don't need to be great hulking brutes...The matte black plastic case (also available in red) has gloss highlights - though these will need polishing if you want to keep the M11x looking ship shape...Overall there's something a little disconcerting about the M11x's fit and finish though, as it feels a little on the cheap side...The buttons are large, with...

Alienware’s M11x has always been something of a marvel...The first product to transform the concept of gaming laptop from a contradiction-in-terms into genuinely portable reality, the M11x was, and still is, the only 2kg gaming laptop truly worthy of the name...At 2kg, it’s remains a good deal more portly than your average ultraportable, but the pay-off is bombproof build quality...Beneath that understated exterior, Intel’s second-generation Core processors now take pride of place...The Intel Core processors have made a big impact...

At 33mm thick, a fraction under 2kg and sporting a 1366 x 768 screen, the M11x is more ultra-portable than netbook...The M11x inherits the chunky, angular looks of Alienware's M15x and M17x...Although certain combinations (not to mention pulsating or morphing options) take you into garish Max Power territory, it looks surprisingly good when employed tastefully...

Is the M11x really the best of both worlds...Like larger Alienware models, the M11x swaps the curves so fashionable in current mainstream laptops for a blunter, angular design...A manager app called AlienFX is preloaded, from which you can independently set each color from a wheel of different hues, before saving it as an overall color scheme...Here, running with the integrated GPU, the M11x scored 4,080 PCMarks overall...
