The New m11x was released and my m17x will finally have a little brother. This is hands down the best buy in the sub 13" market. It can get up to a core i7 620um 1.2ghz turbo boost to 2.26 AND it is overclockable to 2.66ghz, Still comes with the 1GB GT 335 but now instead of manually having to switch between graphics and IGP it does it automatically without any flicker using nvidia optimus technology. It also comes with the intel5000 HD GMA which is intels newest integrated graphics and powerful enough to run 1080p video. This means 7-8 hours of battery life while watching HD video, browsing the web, writing emails or papers. And 4-5 hours of using the discreet card and gaming. Also has all those nice alienware touches like the color changing keyboard and facial recognition.

But the most amazing part is it starts at only 950 dollars and with 10% EPP discount + 100 dollar off coupon you can get a fully specced out version for 1000 after tax and shipping. Theres nothing on the market that can touch this machine at the 1000 dollar price point especially after taxes and shipping final price 1000.

Highly reccomend you give this bad boy a try if you want portability and battery life while still having the power you want.
