For £749, you can get a Alienware M11x with a Pentium Dual Core ULV SU4100 processor, 2GB of RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GT 335M graphics, 320GB of hard drive space and a screen sharp enough to play 720p video, which won’t see you through Crysis on the highest settings, but ought to give many more games acceptable frame rates on low power laptop.
But if size really does matter and you’re prepared to splash out, you can switch out the processor for an Intel Core 2 Duo SU7300 1.3GHZ HIP, a 500GB hard drive or 256GB solid state drive, and a massive eight gigs of DDR3 memory.

We know – you can get bigger, better specced machines for less, but you really are paying for the tiny profile with the Alienware M11x. Head on over to the Dell site now if you’re keen and see what bang you can get for your buck.
