Meanwhile the Apple iPad is stealing most of the headlines on the technology websites we at HandsOnReviews are way more excited about the soon-to-be-released Alienware M11x 11.6 inch Gaming Portable Notebook. It will feature an Intel dual core processor and nVidia GeForce GT 335M dedicated graphics. To achieve claimed battery life of 6+ hours it will switch to an Intel integrated graphics when the nVidia’s ship won’t be necessary. All this starting at $799 (£499) but the way manufacturers usually convert currencies it will probably start more at like £599. Guys over at Cnet got some hands-on time with this notebook. See the link for photo gallery.
Just to clarify something with Cnet and other websites. This is an (ultra)portable notebook and not a netbook. Last time we checked netbook featured an Intel Atom or any other AMD/VIA equivalent processor and not a dual core processor.
There is a such thing as a dual core Atom chip.
Indeed, there is a dual core Atom. What we had in mind was Intel Dual Core or Core 2 Duo processor.
Would you call Alienware M11x a netbook?
