A review of the Alienware M11x (Optimus Graphics) gaming notebook has been posted over at Laptop Magazine. 'Identical to the previous Alienware M11x, this version look as if the company's M15x was sent through Willy Wonka's shrinking machine. Like its larger brethren, it features a prominent Alienware logo on the lid whose eyes glow when the system is turned on. Our system came in all black, the lid coated with a soft rubber finish (known as Soft Touch Stealth Black). The other color option is a gray finish called Lunar Shadow. Also, like the larger Alienware machines, the front edge of the M11x has an angled design reminiscent of the newer Chevy Camaros. The deck is a matte black plastic, which doesn't pick up fingerprints, but the glossy black screen bezel shows every little mark.'

Laptop Magazine have published their review of the Alienware M11x gaming notebook. 'This thin-and-light notebook looks like the company's M15x spent too much time in the dryer. Like its larger brethren, it features a prominent Alienware logo on the lid whose eyes glow when the system is turned on. Our system came with a gray finish (called Lunar Shadow); consumers can choose Cosmic Black as well. Also like the larger Alienwares, the front edge of the M11x has an angled design reminiscent of the newer Chevy Camaros.

Dev Hardware have published their review of the Alienware M15x gaming laptop. 'The Alienware M15x laptop from Dell is a gaming powerhouse for serious gamers who want to dominate their competition. Not only does this laptop look fierce, with its jagged design and lights emanating from all of its pores, but it performs beastly as well. A solid feature set with plenty of interesting technology comes along for the ride too. Keep reading for a closer look. Of course, the machine does have some drawbacks, such as its bulky frame. The M15x is highly configurable and is like shopping for a car in that you can add all the bells and whistles you want to it prior to ordering.'

A review of the Alienware m15x notebook PC has been posted over at NotebookReview.com. 'The M15x is unusually large for a 15.6-inch notebook, measuring almost two inches thick and weighing over nine pounds! The front of the M15x is striking; it is slightly pointed outward towards the user and is flanked by two menacing speaker grilles. The front of the M15x is not vertical but angled downward as well. The lid has a unique look; it is very tall and angled at the top to match the chassis front when closed. I like how there is a dedicated area for grabbing the lid at the top. The M15x is a very well-built notebook. It has a strong internal frame and takes significant force to flex. The lid is impressively strong; it resists twisting noticeably better than other 15.6" notebooks thanks to is one-piece wraparound backing. The lid is firmly secured to the chassis by a strong hinge. Generally speaking this notebook is extremely solid.'

A review of the Alienware M15x gaming laptop has been posted over at LaptopMag.com. 'Like the M17x, the front of the M15x has the angular looks of the redesigned Chevy Camaro. Our system had a Nebula Red finish, but it's also available in Lunar Shadow (silver) and Cosmic Black. The red coloring only extends as far as the outer lid, sides, and chassis, so the inside and front of the system is black. The magnesium-alloy chassis is a departure from that of its predecessor, the Area-51 M15x, which experienced an issue with the plastic frame cracking due to overheating issues. Still, it adds to the size; this 14.9 x 12.2 x 1.9-inch heavyweight checks in at 9.0 pounds--and that's without the AC adapter.'

Geek.com have published a review of the Alienware M17x gaming notebook. 'As tested the M17x was outfitted with Intel's Core 2 Quad Q9100 (2.27GHz) processor, 4GB 1333MHz RAM, Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit, 640GB of storage (dual 320GB disks in RAID0), the Nvidia 9400M integrated GPU, dual Nvidia GeForce GTX 280M graphics cards, a DVD burner, and wireless a/g/n with MIMO. Starting at $1799, our $3249 build is a solid one, but not through the roof. More RAM, and Extreme series processor, higher-end storage, and Blu-ray would have taken it to the next level... and easily over the $4000 mark.'

A review of the Alienware M17x gaming laptop has been posted over at DigitalTrends.com. 'Our evaluation unit was equipped with some of the most powerful mobile components currently available, like Intel's top-of-the-line Core2 Extreme Quad QX9300 processor, which is composed of a quartet of cores running at 2.53GHz with a 12MB cache and 1066MHz front-side bus. It also had a couple of SLI-enabled NVIDIA GeForce GTX 280M cards each with 1GB of dedicated video memory, as well as 8GB of all-purpose DDR3 RAM running at 1333MHz. We were surprised that the notebook didn't belch smoke from its vents.'
