Alienware M11x R2 – Internal |
By removing the main panel on the base of the M11x we can see the main components. Starting at the top edge of the system we have two memory slots which on our model were populated by 2x 2GB of Samsung DDR3-1333, 8GB is the systems maximum capacity. As with many compact systems these were running at 800MHz due to a limitation of the chipset. Next to the memory is the half height Dell DW1520 mini-PCIe card which is both wireless N and dual band enabled, something few manufacturers provide. Beneath the WLAN is a section for the WWAN (3G) card which is also mini-PCIe based and then we have the hard drive location. On our review sample this was populated with a 256GB Samsung PB22-J based SSD. The firmware used by Dell is VBM25D1Q which is newer than the most recent publically available version for retail Samsung drives. Lower specification mechanical drives are also an option when ordering the system. There are a couple of options available for the Socket 1156 CPU in the new M11x, the highest specification is the 1.2GHz Core i7-640UM (2.266GHz Turbo) and the second is the 1.066GHz Core i5-520UM (1.866GHz Turbo) which was present in our review sample. This CPU, using the 32nm Arrandale core, runs on a 133MHz Bus and uses a 14x multiplier to achieve its 1866MHz speed. As with other recent processors it is 64-bit capable, runs SSE 4.2 and supports Intel Virtualisation Technology. There are two cores in this CPU with Hyper-Threading and cache levels are set to 2x32KB of L1 Data and Instruction, 2x256KB of L2 and 3MB of L3. There are TWO GPU’s in the M11x, the first is an integrated (on the CPU) Intel HD based GPU which is a 45nm part with 4 ROPs and 12 shader units and is ideal for standard desktop use as it is a low power part and supports Windows Aero/DirectX 10. The second GPU, which uses NVIDIA Optimus technology to auto-enable when games or CUDA/OpenCL applications are executed, is the NVIDIA GeForce GT 335M which was also present on the older M11x. The GT335M is built on a 40nm manufacturing process and features 72 Unified Shaders with 8 ROPs. The 335M uses 1GB of DDR3 on a 128-bit memory bus and supports DirectX 10.1, Shader Model 4.1, CUDA, PhysX and Blu-Ray Acceleration. On the M11x the GT335M is set to 450MHz core, 790MHz memory and 1080MHz Shader. The final component of note within the M11x is the battery, this Samsung branded model is Li-ion based and has a capacity of 63Wh. |
RE: Alienware M14x R2 windows 10 drivers support I would also like to know an answer to this question it is the same laptop I have, I would just like to know are the working on a solution for our laptops please someone respond. So this is a fresh reinstall of windows 7 with all factory drivers from when the computer was released, so you'll have to update the video card drivers etc. But other than that it's ready to go! I've owned this laptop since purchasing and because of it's initial price, have always treated it like a baby and it never got much use.
- Install Alienware M11x R2 laptop drivers for Windows 7 x64, or download DriverPack Solution software for automatic drivers intallation and update.
- Nukem By ebondefender Alienware M11x Fx Theme is a pretty legit theme using greens, yellow, and black morphs to create.
We have to note that the M11x lacks an optical drive, an obvious decision made to enable this laptop to be so small, but we couldn’t help notice the M11x’s conspicuously port-free stretch on its right side that looks about the same size as, well, an optical drive. The updated Spectre x inch convertible laptop adds terrific battery life and top-notch For a subnotebook the connectivity is hence thoroughly sufficient; compared to a fully fledged gaming notebook there is nevertheless no optical drive, VGA output, ExpressCard slot, or an eSATA port. The SSD doesn’t only accelerate the boot process and general reaction time of the operating system, but also has a positive impact on the length of loading times and file transfers. Especially the options from the MaxxAudio driver influence the audio significantly in some cases. It offers a close-to-CoreDuo experience, but in the wake of faster Core i3 and i5 processors, it’s a little less impressive. Sadly, the M11x lacks newer on-the-fly Optimus graphics-switching technology recently announced by Nvidia, which would have been perfect on the M11x, but we have to admit that once you know how to do it, graphics-switching is easy.

Review Alienware M11x R3 Gaming Notebook
The fact that Alienware has managed to cram so much into so little — and managed to do so while also providing good battery life — indicates that some smart folks are working over at Alienware. Our benchmarks were all correctly completed.
Many of the interfaces are m111x close to the front.
Compared to its predecessor there haven’t been any changes to the case. In order to enjoy the complete atmosphere of games or movies, users should nevertheless use external speakers along with an external monitor.
Whether the energy efficient CPU has a significant influence on the graphics performance can be determined with the help of the 3DMark 11 alienwarfPerformance-Preset and the Unigine Heaven 2. Along with better performance and low temperatures, there is above all also a much longer battery life.

The surface is composed of a fine honeycomb patternwhich provides for a perfect compromise between feedback and glide properties. The contrast is also meager, The end result is a dense but very portable laptop that has the ability to play any mainstream game. The accessories are inside an Alienware typical style box.
Along with the automatically overclocking Turbo-Boost, there is of course also Hyper-Threading technology on board as well.
After a few teething problems with the start time, Optimus meanwhile works relatively error free with a halfway up-to-date driver. An energy efficient CPU of course, since a ‘normal’ processor would likely over-exert the cooling system. Instead of the three USB 2.
The arrangement of the interfaces meanwhile is less than optimal. While the system noise has increased, the temperatures have noticeably decreased compared to the previous revision.

We delete comments that violate our policywhich we encourage you to read. In addition to this, we find it hard to imagine why Alienware has not opted for a matte display surface for a device that is clearly intended for mobile use.
The notebook will also be available in black. We’ve changed, we promise. On the other hand, it can’t hold a candle to a “dedicated” gaming laptop such as the M15x, which ran about double the frame rate.
If you’re after a small gaming laptop, there simply aren’t any other compelling options right now. The predecessor stayed significantly quieter under load, making the system noise one of the few steps backwards that came to our attention.
Alienware M11x R2 – External Reviews
Mark Zuckerberg on Facebook’s The 11 inch display is very reflective. Alienware, up until now better known for its big luxury-gamers, has surprised the notebook branch with a high-performance subnotebook, the M11x, 1m1x few months ago.
aleinware With the exception of the display, the surfaces are robust. Noise sensitive users will likely start getting annoyed with the subnotebook after a short time when playing games, allienware it becomes noticeable that the cooling system is reaching its limits.
In case you should nevertheless still have problems at some point, our test of the Dell XPS 15 could possibly help you in this respect, in this review we list some ‘Nvidia Optimus’ tips. Compare These Lenovo Yoga C Hardwareheaven Thinking back to our experience with the original M11x it is fair to say that we were completely blown away by that model.
One indication that the processor plays a less important role with mid-range GPUs.
