The editors didn't like
The M11x still has a chunky chassis
Also
The lack of an optical drive isn't a dealbreaker
But can be frustrating when installing games
Doesn't have Gigabit Ethernet
Core 2 Duo CPU isn't ideal for taxing processing tasks
ULV processor isn't as fast as most gaming laptops
No optical drive

Abstract: Alienware very successfully refreshed their notebook lineup in 2009 with the M17x and the M15x. These systems performed well, had an interesting look to them, and were a hit with gamers. Reviews were positive across the board. Then earlier this year Al...
