Alienware M11x

Another brawny gaming laptop from Dell is Alienware M11x, only 11-inch 720p display and weighs 4.4 pounds, very portable that you can just slide it into your backpack. I believe the small screen somehow helps lengthen battery life and also maintains the high-resolution of your games' graphics. It got Nvidia GeForce GT 335M which makes it the most powerful sub-15in gaming laptop in the market. Alienware M11x can play with the 335M and, although this is marketed more as a gaming machine, it can also interchange to Intel integrated graphics to do other stuffs.

Although there is no optical drive and battery is irremovable (I prefer otherwise for the most part), the look is fascinating: custom nameplate, lots of case lighting which you can turn on or off depending on how much you want, (your fingers need to get used to the) half-size keyboard but it comes with great backlight, alien head power button which is cute and add the handsome metal exterior to these. It has 2 headphone jacks, mic jack, SIM and 3 USB slots, of course Ethernet and card reader and also a lock port.

Friends tested games: Dawn of War II, DDO Unlimited, Dragon Age, Left 4 Dead 2, Battlefield: Bad Company 2, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Far Cry 2, and Grand Theft Auto IV.

Alienware M11x gaming performance is very good.
