Alienware M11xr3

The Alienware M11xr3 ($1,099 direct) is the next in the company's line of 11-inch gaming laptops . Last year the Alienware M11x ($1,175 direct, 4 stars) turned heads with its netbook-sized design outfitted with gaming-grade Nvidia Optimus technology. This year's model upgrades to a second-generation Intel Core i5 CPU, a more powerful Nvidia GeForce GT 540M graphics chipset, and more ways to connect to your favorite games online via Wi-Fi and WiMAX, which is why it's our Editors' Choice for portable gaming laptops.

Design
Design-wise, Alienware is not known for its subtlety. And sure enough, the M11xr3 sports glowing blue LEDs (can also be configured with Astral Aqua, Mars Red, Nova Yellow, Terra Green, and Plasma Purple lighting). Between that, the backlit keyboard, and glowing Alienware logo and grills on the bottom front of the chassis, you won't have any trouble finding this laptop in the dark. The rest of the M11xr3 is coated in a soft rubberized textured material over its Steath Black magnesium frame. The interior has a textured plastic design along the palm rest, which offers a comfortable amount of friction when typing. The trackpad has a smoother textured pattern, and has a slight depression to distinguish it from the palm rest.

The 11-inch widescreen displays in 1,366 by 768 resolution, which is enough to take in a game or movie, but leaves little room for multitasking. Unfortunately, like the previous M11x, the M11xr3 suffers from the same glare problem, which becomes more noticeable when gaming under bright fluorescents. Being that this laptop is netbook-sized, the keyboard smaller than the full-sized ones you'd see on 14-inch laptops like the Samsung QX410-J01 ($829.99 street, 4 stars) and Asus U41JF-A1 ($857 street, 4.5 stars). For me, the tighter typing experience was easy to get used to. The M11xr3 is heavier than your typical 11-inch screen laptop weighing 4.47 pounds, whereas the Lenovo ThinkPad X120e ($580 direct, 4 stars) weighs all of 3.3 pounds. The increased weight is understandable, as the M11xr3 is packed with more internal hardware.

Features
The M11xr3 doesn't have an optical drive. With the rise of digital downloads and Steam accounts (which comes pre-installed) one is hardly needed, especially, when it comes equipped with WiMAX (a wireless technology that offers similar coverage not unlike that of 3G and 4G smartphones) and Wi-Fi to connect you to your downloads and MMOs when you're without an Ethernet port to jack into. The M11xr3 also comes with a DisplayPort, HDMI, Ethernet, 3-in-1 card reader (MMC, SD, MS/Pro), two USB 3.0 ports, one USB 2.0 port, and FireWire. The USB 3.0 ports will come in handy if you ever run out of space on the 500GB 7,200rpm hard drive, as it can provide faster data transfer speeds when hooked up to a USB 3.0 external hard drive. Also, the DisplayPort, HDMI, and WiDi 2.0 a wireless display technology that allows you to stream your computer's content to an HDTV (provided you have the Netgear Push2TV receiver), all allow you to hook up to an external monitor, so when you're at home gaming you don't have to limit yourself to the 11-inch screen.

palm pre +/usb device problem - PreCentral Forums

There's a lot of threads about USB drive mode problems, and I'm picking this one because it seems the most recent: After having successfully used the USB drive mode just today, now it won't go: I plug the cable, select that mode on my Pre and... Nothing happens, the PC doesn't see the "disk", which usually pops up as "E:" in "My PC".
