Dell says it has boosted the performance of its Alienware M11x, with new Intel Core i5 and Core i7 processor options combined with the latest Nvidia Optimus technology to provide a HD mobile gaming experience.

Intel’s Turbo Boost technology can further accelerate Core i5 and Core i7 performance when demand peaks. All the Alienware M11x processors are overclockable beyond the standard specification to help maximise performance.

The Nvidia GeForce GT 335M provides 1GB of fast HD graphics performance for more realistic gaming environments and virtual worlds playing stutter-free at high 720p resolution. Built-in Nvidia PhysX technology propels hyper-realistic game play on the M11x that shows every dynamic cause-and-effect detail.

Nvidia Optimus technology switches seamlessly and transparently from the integrated Intel HD Graphics Media Accelerator to GE Force GT 335M discrete graphics when extra performance is demanded by visually intensive applications. Switching to integrated graphics during less visually demanding applications, like word processing or e-mail exchange, can help extend battery life.

The unit retains its 2kg weight and Alienware design with built-in AlienFX illuminated keyboard and laser-engraved user nameplate. It ships with a choice of 64-bit Windows 7 operating systems installed.
