Although Dell might be having a tough time, I still agree if demand for a product is there, there might still be hope...maybe...please. But I would love to see a small M11X(12 max) like laptop in the works from Alienware. I personally bring my laptop around a lot and find that anything heavy and usually bigger than 12 inches becomes not only an annoyance but a huge burden to carry around without the worry of dropping it when your passing it around or moving from place to place, my laptop choice is a product of it's environment. I need a machine that can run AutoCAD adequately but takes a small footprint because sometimes I don't have a desk to work on and I'm at a construction site that I don't want to put my laptop down or it's gonna be sucking up concrete powders and what not. My M11x R3 has handled all this and more. This is why I like where this post is going, even if, there are people who are in the know and have an idea of Dell's thoughts, thoughts can change.
