Alienware M11x R3 is the third edition of the book sets the world's smallest and lightest. Equipped with your choice of the latest second-generation Intel Core i7 and Core i5 or Nvidia GeForce 540-visual high-performance 11-inch laptop is probably in a class by itself. Keep reading to see if the laptop M11x latest games worth your money.

Building and Design

If you are familiar with the original M11x M11x and R2, then you will certainly find that R3 M11x is almost identical to its predecessor. Similarly, you should familiarize yourself with the game Alienware notebooks family immediately recognize the design edgy, "Stealth Black" soft touch finish and AlienFX LED lighting, which has been characterized for the design of Alienware. In many ways the designers at Alienware have tried to make this 11-inch laptop to look like a small twin 15-inch M15x and M17x 17-inch.

This design decision (to make it look like the Alienware M11x another laptop) probably did help to "love" or "hate" towards the M11x many people have expressed in our forum discussion. On the one hand, we immediately recognize that this is a mobile game designed to play and have fun. On the other hand, hardcore gamers recognize that may not fit very material of high-end gaming on a laptop 11 inches, and criticize the M11x is not going to be a portable "real" games.

Despite the disagreement involves the design of the square Alienware M11x same as other laptops. Most laptops have a thick tapered edge that begins near the center of the laptop and thins as you move on the outside edge. The chassis of the M11x R3 (like laptop M11x above) are not so keen on because Alienware engineers need all the space for discrete graphics cards, extra cooling, and battery. The internal battery is also something to remember when talking about the thickness of this laptop. The M11x may seem thick with its height of 1.29 inches, but many options for 11-inch netbook with long battery life is actually thicker than the Alienware M11x R3.

Build quality is pretty good with a magnesium alloy combined with matte black plastic and the aforementioned "soft touch finish" that helps your laptop scratch-resistant. The exterior of the laptop feels solid as a rock, just a bit of flex in the screen back cover when pressure is applied. The keyboard wrist rest and not suffer from any flex even under heavy pressure to write comments. R3 M11x, M11x models such as this, is the most durable 11-inch notebook we reviewed in our laboratory. But let's keep a watchful eye on all the reports from the central issue has been reported by the M11x owners in our discussion forum (see here). It is too early to say whether the display hinges on the M11x R3 are more durable than previous models, but we have not had any problems with the hinges on our review unit during the test.

Another essential element of the design Alienware is the use of custom LED lighting in key areas around the laptop. The first thing most people notice is the beautiful backlit keyboard and two front panels, but my favorite is backlit alien head is positioned on the keyboard. By using the software available on AlienFX R3 M11x you can put this logo to shine on a variety of ways to tell if your battery status. I put my head on my M11x foreign origin in the light illuminates blue and red on the sector when it is running on battery. This is a great way to alert the user if the cord is accidentally deleted during a game. Two other areas that shines on M11x is the head alien on the back of the screen and the air intake at the bottom of the laptop.

These two zones are not configured with the software AlienFX - wait using the same light as the keyboard and exotic head on the lid of the screen is illuminated by the screen when the laptop is running. U.S. customers will also still be able to get a personalized plate laser engraved on the bottom of the M11x R2.

Speaking of the bottom of the laptop, the M11x is as great, even from below. The bottom panel is generally flat and smooth with a speaker grille holes for the stereo speakers shot down, cooling fan inlet, and the battery gauge. If you are interested in improving the internal components of your M11x, you will be pleased to know that all parts are located under a unique access panel on the bottom of the laptop.

The single cover panel for the battery, hard drive, wireless cards and memory locations using the standard Phillips screws for easy disassembly. It is also interesting to note that Dell / Alienware kindly use the clips of all the screws ... so when you loosen the lower panel of small screws do not fall off and get lost in the ground. Not void the warranty if removed stickers were found inside. Alienware believes that the cards of the internal battery, hard drive, RAM and wireless connection for all users of the repair. In addition, one year on-site warranty service must address all the problems that arise in the first year and you can always buy extended service warranties, if desired. In short, all areas that can be updated are easy to access on this laptop.

Ports and Features

The selection of ports on the M11x R3 is almost identical to the provision of port on the M11x R2. Remember, your external monitor connections are DisplayPort and HDMI port ... not here to VGA monitors and projectors old. Alienware M11x R3 provides two USB 3.0 ports, USB 2.0, FireWire, a 3-in-1 media card reader, Gigabit Ethernet, all standard audio jack and the aforementioned HDMI and DisplayPort.

You will not get a built-in optical drive M11x, and we are not shocked. Only that the DVD or Blu-ray in space and took power a laptop heavier and more hungry, but most consumers to download content instead of using the plates. Even pre-installed STEAM Alienware M11x is when you place your order. For those of you who do not know turkish, the online store for PC games. Using Steam software you can browse the online store and buy Steam almost every PC game that you can then download and install on your computer.

Alienware also includes a DVD with the restoration M11x instead of including a USB drive or SD card. You can buy an external DVD drive as an option at the time of purchase, but all will not be able to use the recovery disk, unless you have an external optical drive. Well, Dell, stop using the portable DVD without a DVD player. On a happier note, Alienware has done with the USB 3.0 on the Alienware M11x R3, so that owners can connect high-speed external storage for this laptop.
