Alienware M11x Ultra-Portable Gaming Laptop Launched
February 3, 2010
The latest release from popular manufacturer Dell’s gaming branch, is the ultra-portable Alienware M11x compact gaming laptop which they recently showed off at a Dell-Alienware gaming event after it’s initial appearance at CES 2010.
This is an extremely eye catching machine as it’s really pushing the boundaries of gaming PC’s. Usually, when you consider a gaming machine, you tend to think of either a more bulky laptop with a full size 17 or 18” display (such as perhaps the Alienware M17x gaming laptop), or a bulky desktop roaring away underneath a neon lit desk. However, Dell is out to change that opinion with their latest Alienware branded 11” portable gaming laptop that weighs in at around 4.5lbs.
In terms of specification, this thing is far from a lightweight. Designed for gaming, you expect decent performance and that’s exactly what you get. The processor, just a standard Intel Core 2 Duo (1.3GHz). But the real power within comes when you dig a little deeper. Up to 8Gb of DDR3 memory clocked at 1066MHz will provide extremely good capabilities with regards to multitasking with power hungry applications.

Earlier this week we brought you three of the new Alienware M15x and Aurora gaming computers releases and now we’re back with six more – the Alienware Area-51 and Area-51 ALX Desktops, the Optx 21.5” monitor and Tactx Gaming mouse, headset and keyboard!
New Alienware M15x and Aurora Gaming Computers
September 24, 2009
Since they were established in 1996 Alienware have become pretty much synonymous with ‘high-end gaming systems’ and as this niche has grown so has the company to the point where they were acquired by Dell back in 2006 and you could say that they have now eclipsed the Dell XPS desktop gaming PC range.
Focusing on both ‘enthusiast’ and ‘hardcore’ gamers the systems that Alienware create have gained a reputation for being of both high quality and price, as well as distinctive – the sci-fi theme implied by their name runs through to the design of the machines which are always undeniably sleek and futuristic.

Alienware have today launched their latest gaming laptop at E3, or perhaps we should say an update to already popular model, the Alienware M17x gaming laptop has undergone a re-design and been boosted with the inclusion of the very latest powerful components to give gamers on the move a true beast of a mobile gaming machine. Their choice of an Allpowerful.com marketing campaign to promote this release is perhaps quite appropriate!
Alienware was established in 1996 and have been building high performance gaming machines to provide the best PC gaming experience possible ever since. They were then bought by Dell in March 2006 but they have remained a distinctly separate from the rest of Dell, there aren’t even any Dell branding on their PCs unlike the Dell XPS desktop gaming PCs!

If you look at the Dell XPS range and the XPS 730 Desktop Gaming PC in particular, both in terms of appearance and specifications you might wonder who would be the target market.
Given that these kind of machines are pre-built high-end gaming systems – I’m guessing that these customers must be the teenagers/students grown up and working (on decent salaries) who now have less time for assembling and tinkering with their computers and just want to get on with top-end gaming. These computers now typically come with custom cases, LEDs, water cooling and are already overclocked, plus have the ability to be easily overclocked further – sometimes even using a windows interface to do so.
I recently had the opportunity to attend a Dell media event which was held in Central London that was focussed on PC gaming, both from the point of view of system builders, component manufacturers and professional gamers.

A few weeks ago, I wrote about the the forthcoming return of Commodore computers, since then the new Commodore-branded PCs were recently unveiled, so I thought I’d best do a follow-up piece.
The new PCs will certainly look different from the old Commodore computers, with the cases having various optional high quality customisable artwork or ’skins’, however the good old C= logo remains intact on them. Examples of this artwork can be seen at Kotaku.
