M11x netbook

[era81]

So Dell and Alienware have created a netbook that runs Crysis out of the box at medium settings at 50fps which was impressive enough now they have put a eight hundred dollar base price tag on it. Anybody else intrigued? http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/alienwares-m11x-netbook-gets-a-base-price-799/

Good!

It's nice to see that technology has caught up to a game that came out 2 years ago.

Seriously, Crysis was a BEAST of a game.

My my..... I think I may have found my next laptop.

Extremely intrigued; I've always wanted a netbook with some power in it. And not really for gaming; more for audio production.

All of that in an 11" footprint? Impressive.

.. ifyou can get a fully portable netbook that can play crysis, then what would an equivelent desktop be? I foresee that becoming cheaper.

Steve Jobs just died a little. Horrible timing if Alienware can advertise the hell out of this machine.

That's fucking sweet. However, I still prefer my gaming laptop as it was custom built, so I feel that I actually fel like I've contributed to its birth (I've also been in the place that built it, it was like a PC-nerd's wet dream)

Could be a nice gaming laptop, about the same gameplay time as a PSP anyway. I'm a little worried on the power of the CPU though. I hear it's only rocking a 1.3 Ghz ULV Core 2 Duo. I read somewhere that the specific chip is similar to a standard 1.8 Ghz C2D, but even still that's starting to get a little low end for gaming. Hell, my 2.4 Ghz Core 2 Duo was starting to choke sometimes so I overclocked it to 2.8.

But anyway, since my last gaming laptop in 2003 I've decided to stick to self built desktops for gaming while saving a separate laptop (convertible tablet actually) for work and school.
