Alienware's M11x Gets $799 Price
Earlier this month, Alienware announced a 'nearly netbook' packing Nvidia GT335M. The company promised we'd see a sub-$1,000 pricetag when the M11x shipped in spring and boy, did they deliver.
A little source code detective work shows that the M11x will be priced at $799. An Engadget tipster points out that, although the M11x microsite offers no details on price, the source code contains the following morsel of information:
"The Alienware M11x, with over 6.5 hours of battery life and weighing under 4.5 lbs. will start at an amazing $799! Leave it to the folks at Alienware to enable truly mobile performance gaming at an affordable price."
The display is a little small (11.6-inches) but it packs enough punch to be well equipped for gaming on an external display with VGA, HDMI and DisplayPort options.

If I were getting a netbook it would be to travel with basic features. If I'm gaming, I'm already at a desktop, why would I want to plug this in?
Please someone explain the point of a gaming netbook, my mind cant even begin to fathom it. It's like a gaming laptop, but twice as pointless.
A lot of you think people who buy laptops for gaming are silly, yet may not realize that they don't neccesarily want the GPU power for on-the-road gaming. The great benefit of the laptop is it's portability. It's literally a tiny computer that's PORTABLE, easily carried around from one FIXED location to the next. I believe most laptop gamers are those who take their laptops to Hotel rooms, or the like, and plop them down on a desk, plug 'em into an AC outlet, connect to a public WiFi network, and game away. They're not playing in airports while waiting for a flight. If you have any inkling to play games while you're away from your home for an extended period, keep this in mind the next time you make a laptop purchase.
