MX11x Hard Disk Capacity is available in 160GB, 256 GB,
500 GB and 640 GB and best recommended operating system is Windows 7(64 Bit).
MX11x has software called Command Center that housed a
lot of software to customize your machine:
•AlienFusion Management-controls the power efficiency
and performance
•AlienTouch-Allows you to adjust your touchpad
sensitivity.
•Aliensense-configure
web cam to read finger prints or biometrics for security purpose
According to Dell the MX11x battery life could work up to
8.5 hours but experts tell it could only run 2-3 hours of gaming mode and 6
hours of regular use.
MX11x has 3 USB ports, HDMI, Display Port,
mini FireWire, VGA and a SIM slot.The 3D cores up to 6 to 7 thousands in range
and with 50 fps Crysis, 30fps Call of Duty soon and support.
MX11x is a little heavy (4.5 pounds), I think the 8 cells
batteries add on weight much. Dell Alienware Phantom MX11x has a small screen
but it’s power could run not heavy games like Dragon Age, Torchlight, Call of
Duty,Crysis, name it.lol…
MX11X is now available @:
PCWORX SRP PHP 57,990
