Alienware MX11

IMG_4014

Not sure how to start. This notebook is the replacement of my old gaming notebook Asus G2. To me is a downgrade as my G2 is a 17” gaming notebook Sad smile but for my son is an upgrade as now he is mobile gamer Open-mouthed smile

Size comparison between G2 and MX11

Why buy Alienware?
1. Asus G2 Bios/motherboard is dead and not sure how much to replace it.
2. Need an additional notebook for my son
3. New notebook must be more mobile then my current notebooks (OK… some call it desktop replacement)

So after searching for sometimes, I concluded that the replacement notebook will be Alienware MX11 or MX15. I checked the Dell’s website for the latest promotions/offers and decided to get it for Christmas but Santa does know how to makes my dream comes true.

We when to Courts at Tempenis to get “other” electrical stuff and we found Alienware on display. This is where Santa came in. The hourly promotion for the set (just as we about to step out) was SGD 970 (original price was SGD 1890) and no one interested in it as everyone saying that the set to heavy for netbook, must be demo set, blah, blah, blah. So I grab it and found it is a new set.

Unboxing MX11
The box was heavy for a netbook (MX11 is 11” notebook but in the size of 13”). The packaging was nicely design, when you open it you greeted by some alien’s language:

And this is not the set, just a box for cables, CD and other reading documents. The actual set was much deeper under:

Note: The mouse and hard disk not part of the package.

The set we bought was black and set the colors to red.
