Dell Shows Off Alienware M11x Mini Gaming PC

By Dena Cassella January 7, 2010

Dell released its mini-gamer, the Alienware M11x, which features an 11.1″ 720p display complete with both NVIDIA GT335M and integrated graphics. According to Dell, the M11x “demonstrates the graphics power of a 15-inch laptop in an 11-inch form factor.” And we believe it, considering the netbook-sized ultraportable managed 6,000 to 7,000 scores in 3DMark, which adds up to 50fps performance in Crysis and 30fps in Call of Duty at the highest settings.

Dell representatives say the M11x should achieve over six hours of battery life in its lower-graphics function mode and attain around two hours of intense gaming time in its other mode. The M11x also comes with DisplayPort, HDMI, and VGA ports so you can take your gaming to the big screen and connect to larger monitors and HDTVs.

The M11x will sell for under $1,000 and right now we’re trying to snag some more details and photos for you, so stay tuned for updates.
