The mid-range config m11x with the 2nd Gen Intel Sandy Bridge i5 processor hits the "sweet spot" in a balance between price and performance for a portable gaming rig. Things step up a bit on the GPU side of things too with a newer generation GeForce GT 540M, netting you 96 shader core, supports for DX 11 and Shader 5.1. This decently fast GPU will let you run all modern games such as Crysis 2, Call of Duty series, Battlefield 3 without a sweat on your Alienware m11x. Coupons are usually pretty light for this premium gaming laptop unfortunately, so you'll usually only see small discounts for $50 off. Savings are savings though as that's one extra game you can snag with the 50 bones.


Dell upgraded the CPU on this 11.6-inch Alienware laptop from Core i5-2537M 1.4GHz to Core i5-2467M 1.6GHz and upped the hard drive 320GB to 750GB 7200RPM without a price increase.

Dell has a new M11x coupon code for $75 off that will get you the best price ever by $25 for this 11.6-inch gaming laptop (now with 2nd Gen Sandy Bridge processor). The coupon is set to expire in less then a week so it's doubtful this will be a new standard discount for the M11x.

The Alienware m11x finally stepped into Sandy Bridge land with the new 2nd generation Core i5-2537M. Unlike most Core i5 you'll see in other laptops, this is the ultra-low power version at 1.4Ghz (with Turbo up to 2.3 Ghz). The TDP on this CPU is only 17W, compared to other i5s at 35W! You get the standard 4GB of RAM and 320GB of hard drive space. New coupon takes $50 off the already "discounted" price.

So I personally think Alienware machines are overpriced, but thankfully they are just a TAD bit less overprice today. $100 Black Friday coupon on m11x machines brings all models down to a more reasonable level. Now with 2nd Gen Core i3 ULV, giving you not too shabby performance along with very good battery efficiency. i5 and i7 models are also on sale today.

Alienware m11x Core i7 is now at lowest price again thanks to bigger instant savings plus a coupon. Last time it was at this price was around 6 months ago and that was the previous gen i7. All in all you're paying top dollar, but at least you're getting 2nd Gen i7 ULV, 2GB GT 540M, enabling you to play most modern games, even if you do have to tweak the settings down a wee bit.

Lowest price yet for the beefy "Sandy Bridge" Core i7 equipped Alienware m11 is still available. Bigger instant savings this week that stacks with the coupon code brings the portable gaming rig to just a tad over a thousand. The 2617M i7 turbos to 2.6Ghz along with a decent GeForce GT 540M with a hefty 2GB of video RAM. At this price, its basically pointless to buy the Core i5 version.

First coupon from Dell on the new 2nd gen i7 M11x gaming laptop. Pretty decent spec (better be what with the price). 6GB RAM, and a ridiculous 2GB of video RAM on the fast mid-range GT 540M. If this is too steep for you, there's the cheaper i5 version which is just as fast for about $200 less.
