The Dell-owned gaming PC label Alienware is making some changes to its line of laptops to account for hardware advances in 2012 (via Engadget). The M14x, M17x, and M18x models will soon benefit from a number of new component options, including NVIDIA 600 series GPUs, PCE Express 3.0 support, a base memory offering of 6GB, and support for mSATA drives. The laptops will also be souped up with i7 processors, but not the next-gen Ivy Bridge ones.
If you're a fan of Alienware products then you may have noticed that one model number is missing from the above lineup: the M11x. The company's so-called "gaming netbook," which sports an 11-inch screen and a "binary graphics" setup that allows users to jump between high-performance and power-saving modes, is going to be discontinued, The Verge reports. According to the hardware manufacturer, the M11x just doesn't fit in with the rest of its hardware offerings anymore.
Speaking as a very happy M11x owner, I'm disappointed to hear this. It's a great piece of tech for the business-minded gamer on the go, between the small size and the binary graphics setup supporting around six hours of battery life in the power-conserving mode. Unfortunately for fans like me, the greater demand is for full-size keyboards and optical drives, two things which the M11x lacks.

WE STILL HAVE THE CLEVO W110ER so, all is well in Baby Beast Laptop Land...I will miss the keyboard back-lighting option for sure, but the Clevo W110ER will combine Ivy Bridge, Kepler, Matte Screen (option), Killer-N 1103 cards, custom paint (or a professional OEM styling), SSDs galore, NO OS, Windows, or Ubuntu Pre-Installed and still get 6+ hours battery. I prefer the Mythlogic re-seller you can't beat their upgrade path or service plan, regardless you can go with other re-sellers and save $$$ if you want slightly lower quality customer service.

I'll be sorry to see the M11x go. I have one and they are excellent little machines, and game surprisingly well.

in need of an overall review-- Are Gaming Laptops good for creating images and displaying them? What kind of Quality graphics are at my disposal to project my images. in need of hardware equipped with highres crisp sharpness large memory and fast enough processors to handle rather large images as i flip back and forth through multiple projects. Was hoping Alienware would prove useful but if i'm looking at the wrong product or Manufacturer, I'm open-minded to other referred options. Thank Q

Sucks they're discontinuing the Mx11, but I always prefer making one from CyberPower. I can't wait to see what Alienware has for us in the future.

Wow this is terrible news, I am with Adam the Mx11 is an amazing piece of hardware on the go. I own an Mx11 and I use it mostly for business, due to my Job I have to travel alot bith nationally and internationally so i wanted a small computer that would not sacrifice power or battery life and the Mx11 is perfect. So much so that my entire company has now switched from regular Dell computers to Mx11's. Its small, easy to carry and man does it carry a punch. Hopefully Alienware/Dell will reconsider because I do think this is the best on the go laptop for business oriented people.

I love alienware but i hates dell. My alienware pc was delayed almost 2 months before i finally told them to cancel it. I need my pc sooner than two months because of school and work so I had to run to best buy and buy an HP, which turned out to be good enought for what i needed but it is definitely not the Alienware I had ordered.
