 The Alienware M11x has always been an interesting device; sporting netbook internals with a smokin’ hot GPU. Well, now it has the justification to be a true portable gaming machine with options for an Intel i5 520UM that overclocks to 1.866 GHz and a i7 640UM, which maxes out at 2.266 GHz. And as if this speed bump was’t enough, the new M11x comes with NVIDIA Optimus - a new graphics switching technology.

Prices start at $950 for the i5 model, and for an extra $150 on top of that you get the even faster i7.

If the 1 turntable packaged with DJ Hero wasn’t enough for you, DJ Hero 2, available this Fall, comes with 2 turntables and a microphone. The press release didn’t clarify whether or not you were supposed to use both turntables by yourself or share one with a friend while you play. Either way, the new built-in microphone should allow some interesting gameplay. The only other hardware change besides this is a white controller in addition to the original black one.
