Alienware M11x Refresh Released

Today Dell has confirmed the rumors of a quick refresh for the Alienware M11x notebook. While there is still no room for an optical drive, the new M11x is a far superior gaming platform to the old one.

Left the same is the Nvidia GeForce GT 335M, the keyboard, the screen, and the touchpad. Hard drive and RAM options are the same as well.

However, the GT 335M now sports Nvidia Optimus technology, allowing the laptop to automatically switch from the power-sipping integrated to the discrete card when necessary. The other big update for the mini gamer is Intel's new Core i5 and i7 CULV processors. While both of the CPUs are clocked lower than the Core 2 Duo CULV in the first-gen M11x, both are overclockable and include turbo boost. Combined with the superior micro-architecture should allow the new processors to easily outperform the old Core 2.

If anyone has been waiting for the refresh to arrive, now is the time to pick up your new M11x. Product Page
