Alienware, now a part of Dell, has apparently been working on this Alienware M11x thin and light / netbook gaming machine for 5 years according to a post on the Direct2Dell blog today. Technically, we should call this a ‘thin and light’ since it features a Core 2 processor and an 11.6″ screen vs. the ubiquitous Atom processor and 10″ screen that define the netbook segment. Specifically, this ultra-portable gaming machine from Alienware will pack an Intel Core 2 Duo CULV processor mated with NVIDIA 335M graphics and a 11.6 inch with 1366 x 768 pixel resolution. According to the company, it will be able to play modern games including Call of Duty 4 and Left 4 Dead 2.

There’s no launch date, or price from Alienware or Dell directly yet, but Engadget noticed a price of $799 in the source code of one of their web pages.
