Dell has been successful for the night with the M11x Alienware earlier this year. This portable 11-inch laptop overcome many of the great and the price is below $ 1000.

Design and build
We looked at Alienware M11x and a new version is "version 2" (R2) of the M11x is almost identical. Anyone familiar with other games Alienware family planning should be to immediately identify the new M11x. In many ways, the designers tried to make the 11-inch Alienware laptop seems like a small double m15x 15-inch or 17-inch M17x. Much of this design is a legacy of a unique style of Alienware machines. Many laptops all the same, but when the covers are closed, but the Alienware laptop is notable for its futuristic lines stylized cover and silver logo, alien head on it. Planning for the biggest change is the new M11x R2 "Soft Touch Stealth Black" Finish. Compared to the old gloss black M11x original, new exterior feels like it is coated with a protective layer of rubber like a business-class ThinkPad.
Also as a ThinkPad, the M11x R2 design keeps the square of the original M11x without a sharp point like most laptops. Dell Inspiron laptops like the HP Envy 11z or series thin as they move to the outer edges and thicker towards the center of the laptop. The chassis not because M11x Alienware engineers need all this space for your graphics card, extra cooling, and battery. The internal battery is also something to consider when talking about the thickness of this laptop. The M11x may seem thick with a height of 1.29 inches, but if you buy the Lenovo IdeaPad U150 Dell Inspiron 11z or six long battery life, while they are actually thicker than the Alienware machine.
Build quality is second to thank you for any structure above magnesium alloy, combined with matte black plastic. The exterior of the notebook feels rock solid with just a little flex on the back cover screen when you apply pressure. The keyboard and palm rest not suffering from any point flex under pressure writing heavy. Again M11x is always the most durable 11-inch notebook we reviewed in our laboratory. The M11x easily rivals the quality of the construction of certain mobile professionals who label as "business-rugged." The build quality has not changed with the new review of this laptop ... it has just received a neater finish.
Another integral part of the Alienware design is the use of custom LED lighting in key areas around the laptop. The first thing that most people will find a wonderful backlit keyboard, and two front panels, but my favorite is the backlit alien head located above the keyboard. AlienFX using the software, you can configure this light M11x logo of a number of different ways to warn the battery status. The applicator head, a stranger in my original blue M11x on AC power and red when battery power. This is a great way to alert the user if the power cord is accidentally disconnected or during a game. Two other areas that light up M11x is the head of a stranger behind the screen and the air intake at the bottom of the laptop.
Speaking at the bottom of a laptop M11x is also a wonderful, from the bottom. The base plate is largely flat and smooth, with a speaker grille holes until the firing stereo speakers, exhaust fan, and the battery indicator. If you are interested to upgrade your interior M11x will be happy to know that all user-serviceable parts, which is a reference point on the bottom of the notebook. Access to the CPU, graphics, or the fan is much more complicated, but honestly, most consumers do not need to get those workings.The inner cover plate of a mass for the battery, hard drive, wireless cards and slots memory to use a standard Phillips head screws for easy disassembly. It 'also interesting to note that the Dell / Alienware was kind enough to use clips of all the screws ... so when you unscrew the bottom plate of small screws do not fall out on the floor.

These two areas, however, can not be configured with software AlienFX - ventilation uses the same light as the keyboard and exotic head at the top of the screen is illuminated by the LCD when the laptop is running. U.S. customers also still have the opportunity to get a personalized license plate laser engraved on the bottom of the M11x R2.
No warranty void if removed stickers everywhere, even if there was a small yellow strip at the edge of the hard drive and battery. In any case, Alienware believes that the internal battery, hard disk cards, RAM and wireless connection for all users of the repair. In addition, one year on-site warranty service must address all the problems that arise in the first year and you can always buy extended service warranties, if desired.
