A review of Dell Alienware M11x

Last year, Dell has released a collection of Alienware laptops in South Africa. Alienware is known for its range of portable gaming Alienware wanted to determine for itself in the gaming laptop on the market for several years. 5.3 kg of weight, since their 15-inch mobile laptop. The Alienware M11x has 2 graphics cards, an Intel processor and the other based Nvidia. At first, you turned two by pressing a variety of keys, but after the technology has offered Dell Nvidia has built into this new kind of notebook.
When the power increases, the flow of traffic from different places in the body and all these could be configured. Different colors and designs strobe can all be implemented with the program included.

The body alone is strong and also the keyboard hardly has any bend. That's, it does not bend a lot while typing onto it. It's definitely not the best notebook keyboard on earth, however it types easily enough.
The touch pad moreover does not run into as the best cash can purchase. It doesn't have a center click button and it doesn't appear to service multi touch actions.
Performance characteristics
When we test the gaming efficiency of the device we were slightly unhappy at first.



It appeared that the Nvidia 335M GeForce graphics card must be performing a lot better than we were experiencing, that brought us to find out that the notebook was packed with a reasonably aged edition of Nvidia's card graphics driver.
Once the drivers were upgraded to version 257.30 we noticed a extreme enhancement in game performance.
Even graphically intense games like Metro 2033 appeared to run very well.
It's value noting that Steam noted a difficulty with the graphics card when starting games. That is probably due to the Nvidia technology kicking in just after the game is launched.
The largest disadvantage to the unit we examined is it just delivered with 2GB RAM. It doesn't look like it will be a problem as Dell suggested that the pre constructed devices offered in South Africa may have 4GB RAM. Deficiency of optical drive may also become a deal breaker for a few, however it could be cured to a level having an exterior USB drive.
Overall the Alienware M11x is a gaming solid notebook, though a touch on the costly side and maybe a little showy for some. Hard core PC players might be greater offered with a desktop computer they assembled on their own.
