There are all sorts of models of laptops on the market these days, from many good companies such as: HP, Dell, Asus, Lenovo, Acer, Apple, Sony, Toshiba, Fujitsu, MSI, Alienware, Gateway and others. Each model has its own technical details, and according to these you can tell the main activities that a laptop is good for. Those with a small display screen of 8 - 11 inch are called netbooks, they don’t have very powerful features, and they are mostly used for browsing the internet. Others that have a large size of the display screen (17 - 20 inch) and also good features are called “desktop replacements”, and they are usually used at home, in order to replace the old desktop computer.

And those laptops who have a display screen bigger than 11 inch and smaller than 17, are used for both of these activities. They can be used at home for the usual computer activities, but also they can be taken with you when you are traveling somewhere. Some of them may have a bigger RAM memory so they can be used for doing multiple applications at the same time, others may have a powerful graphics engine so they can be used for playing video games, and so on. If you want to find out more information about all the categories of laptops, just check out previous articles from our site, or visit the laptops encyclopedia.



As we said some notebooks are good for playing video games, and the best gaming laptop computers are those made by the company Alienware. This company is specialized in making really powerful, premium laptops and computers , which are great for complex video games, and also for other demanding activities such as video and sound editing. So let’s discuss more about a laptop made by this company, for example the Alienware M 11 X notebook. This is a really good laptop that will allow you to play anything, anywhere. It is a small laptop, with a display screen of 11 inch in diagonal and a weight of just 2.5 lbs. It is actually the only 11 inch laptop which offers a discrete graphics engine. It is known that the small netbooks are usually very weak compared to bigger laptops, but this one is much better than many bigger models of notebooks.

So it practically redefines the capabilities of 11 inch laptops. There are some predefined configurations, but you can also customize your Alienware M11 X laptop, according to your needs and to your budget. For the processor you can choose an older version, the Inte ^® Core ^TM 2 Duo SU 7300 (1.3 GHz, 800 MHz, 3 MB) or the Intel ^® Pentium ^® Processor SU 4100 (2 M Cache, 1.30 GHz, 800 MHz FSB), and here the starting price is 799 dollars. Or you can choose the brand new models – Intel ^® Core ^TM I 5 520 UM (3 M Cache, 1.066 GHZ with 1.866 GHz Max Turbo Frequency) or the Intel ^® Core ^TM i7 640 UM (4 M Cache, 1.2 GHZ with 2.266 GHz Max Turbo Frequency), and here the starting price is a little higher – 949 dollars.



For the RAM memory you can choose between 2 GB, 3 GB, 4 GB or even 8 GB of DDR 3 RAM memory – 800 Mhz, which is quite really good for such a small and highly portable laptop. For the operating system you can choose between Genuine Windows ® 7 Home Premium 64 Bit, Genuine Windows ® 7 Professional 64 Bit or the Genuine Windows ® 7 Ultimate 64 Bit. As we said the display screen has 11 inch in diagonal (actually 11.6 inch) and it is a WideHD LCD screen with a resolution of up to 1366 x 768 (720 p). For the graphics engine you have 3 possibilities: the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (5 series) (M 11 x Core i5 only), the Dynamically switchable with NVIDIA Optimus Technology (M 11 x Core i5 only) or the best one, the 1 GB GDDR 3 NVIDIA ^® GeForce ^® GT 335 M.

The battery for any model will be a 8 cell prismatic Lithium Ion battery, and the overall dimensions for the laptop would be:
Height:32.7 mm (1.29 inches)
Width:285.7 mm (11.25 inches)
Depth:233.3 mm (9.19 inches)
Preliminary Weight: Start at 2.0 kg (4.4 lbs) within an 8 cell battery

Of course you don’t always have to play video games, so this laptop also has both wireless and Ethernet connectivity for easy access to the internet. It will also come with most of the ports you might need, such as 3 high speed USB ports, IEEE, Ethernet, HDMI, 2 audio out, audio in / microphone jack ports and also a 3 in 1 media reader. And of course you will also need some sound for your games (in case you don’t have some external speakers), so this laptop also has 2 built in front speakers (with Internal High Definition 5.1 Surround Sound Audio).

Like any other laptop smaller than 12 inch it doesn’t have an optical drive, so in case you really need one you will need to use an external optical drive. The keyboard for this laptop is a specially designed one, which is illuminated in a cool shape of red. And finally you will also need a hard drive to store all of your video games and other files, and you can choose between a 160 GB hard disc with 5,400 RPM, or a 250 GB, 320 GB or 500 GB with 7,200 RPM or a 256 GB - Solid State Drive.

So now you know one of the best gaming laptop computers on the market right now, and definitely the best 11 inch laptop in the world. If you ever had the chance to use an Alienware M 11 X laptop, then we invite you to tell us more about it, and if you liked this laptop or not. Have a nice day!
