This one starts with a high-res 11″ display and can play all games and media in HD at 720p, unusual for any kind of netbook.

The annoying thing: Alienware has not released full specs on the M11x. They did say that you can connect it to your HDTV for maximum carnage visibility, and a six+ hour battery will be included. The Alienware M11x will sell for around the sub-$1,000 mark, a real steal for any system from this company. Look for it at retail around summer time or so.

PCWorld.com has leaked details of Alienware’s coming soon M17X laptop, designed mostly for gaming. This new powerhouse laptop is highlighted by a 17-inch display with razor-sharp 1920 x 1200 resolution, a Core 2 Extreme quad-core CPU, 2 1GB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 280M GPUs included (better than most desktops!), and 8GB of 1333MHz DDR3 memory. Now that’s a laptop anyone can be proud of, and can pretty much handle anything you can dish out.

There’s plenty of power options too: how about a 1TB 7200-rpm hard drive or 512GB SSD, a HDMI out port, a dual layer Blu-ray player, and a nine-cell battery? You can deck this thing out completely.

Prices are planned to begin at $1,799 when it comes to stores. Exact dates haven’t been announced; later this summer, more than likely.
