The Alienware M11x, when we first saw it, seemed like the best alternative to a full-sized gaming laptop especially if you value portability. It’s scheduled for arrival in Japan on February, but folks in the U.S. will have to wait for another month to get their hands on it. It’s available for pre-order right now, though, right on Dell’s own web site.

It’s worth noting that the base price of $799 will only get you a base configuration which includes an Intel Pentium SU4100 processor, 2GB of dual channel DDR3 memory at 800MHz and a 160GB SATAII hard drive. Fortunately, the 1GB NVIDIA GeForce GT 335M exists in all configurations, so anyone who purchases the Alienware M11x will be able to enjoy somewhat high-end gaming on the go, upgrades or no upgrades.

Did you hear? 11.6-inch is the new 10-inch, and as such, one of Acer’s newest “top-of-the-line” models sports an 11.6-inch screen instead of the usual 10-incher. You’ve seen it unboxed, but in case that’s not enough, we’ve been able to get our hands on one recently and thus, we put it through a quick hands-on test to see how it fares.

The Acer Aspire One 751 moves away from the usual netbook specs of just a few months ago and carries an Atom Z520 processor, Windows Vista, and a very slim and sexy exterior. It has so far proved to be much slimmer than any other netbook I have put against it (except perhaps the 1000HA). It is also quite light considering the size and the 11.6-inch screen really shows a noticeable difference in size compared to other models.

A while ago, it was reported that Acer is planning to launch an 11.6-inch netbook sometime later this year. Well, we might have some photos for you. Leaked earlier today with no accompanying specs sheet are these: official-looking photos of what could possibly be a new version of the Acer Aspire One. It sports a thinner chassis, and looks like it will come with Windows because of the presence of Windows key where there should be a Home key on Linux models. At the moment, we can’t get any confirmation or further information about this netbook, but we’ll be looking for more. In the meantime, see all the pics below.

DigiTimes is reporting that both Asus and Acer are preparing their first 11.6-inch netbooks, prompting LCD panel makers to gear up for production of the needed components. These netbooks will reportedly have 1366×768 screen resolution, but besides which nothing else has been revealed about these upcoming netbooks so far. As for the possibility that the new 11.6-inch models might cannibalize sales of 10-inch models, it is said that vendors are planning to differentiate between models with clear boundaries in price and functionality.
