I know I saw it too. It's awesome. I almost considered getting one, then I thought, wait I'm getting a core i7 laptop with a 5730. The alienware brand and size almost got me.

You know Alienware is just Dell, right?

But Dell isn't the best laptop designer.

Dell just bought alienware. They're still mostly independent.
They're still really expensive though, you're mostly paying for a really fancy case with lights. It doesn't make sense though how they claim you can get 40fps on crysis with a core 2 duo 1.3ghz and a gt335m. Neither of those come close to crysis specs, yet some websites tested it and they got pretty close specs. Black magic I say.

Point is.. There is no decent 11" gaming laptop until now.. and at a reasonable price point.. that is until you upgrade components.. I like small size with gaming capability.. Right now i'm an an Acer Timeline 1810TZ for posting like this... and a Dell XPS m1530 for my gaming.. I realize the Dell is not the best.. but it's not so heavy it takes 2 people to lug it around.. Runs my stuff fine.. Bioshock, Mass Effect, WoW, HL2, L4D, spider solitaire.. The Acer.. well it's small and light with great battery life and the Dual-Core makes a big difference..
Early verdict on the M11x is ME2 running at 60fps with max settings.. in a netbook.. I will say that it is a little heavy for a netbook.. but tolerable..

It is actually more of a subnotebook (the netbook's more pricey brother).
I hope other companies make similar laptops, most small laptops are either a decent CPU with a poopy Intel GPU, or a poopy Atom with ION. At least a C2D with ION would be good. It seems like they may be moving in that direction, with some laptops coming with switchable GPUs.
