Know what happens once you split the variation between an M18x and an M11x ? The M14x, obviously! We managed just a little hands-on time with Alienware’s middleman back in April, and now the net at large has had a gamble to spit their opinions on it. Typically, critics were overwhelmingly happy with performance, and hardly anyone could find too many griping points. Hot Hardware dished out an Editor’s Choice badge, noting that the 14-incher exhibited a near-perfect blend of portability and tool — it is not often that a machine in a position to running today’s latest 3D titles may also get four hours of battery life. Having Optimus onboard is definitely a boon, but virtually everyone also suggested springing for an SSD to actually round things out. Folks also appeared to love the obvious loss of bloatware, and while the $2,000+ price ticket was certainly steep, the head-tier numbers it delivered definitely helped soften the blow. The long and wanting it? Folks attempting to find a pleasant balance of mobility and raw horsepower need look no further, but you could humor yourself anyway by digging into the links below.
