I know some of you don't want to carry a hefty 17"-18" laptop, and the 11" is just too small/not powerful enough.

So here comes the new M14X to the rescue.

The battery will be an 8-cell providing 63Whr. Frankly, I was really hoping for more.

I know a few Dell laptops that have an 8-cell with 80Whr, so why not for the M14X??

Anyway, this looks to be the same one as in the upcoming M11X R3.

HDD options: the usual 250GB-750GB, 7200rpm

SSD options: Samsung P810 SSD, 256GB, 2.5", SATA2

LiteOn/Plextor PX-256M2S SSD, 256GB, 2.5", SATA3

RAM options: 1GB-4GB, DDR3, 1333MHz

There will also be 2GB and 4GB sticks with 1600MHz

CPU options: i3-2310M all the way up to i7-2820QM

LCD options:

14"  1600x900

14" 1366x768

No word yet on backlight, but most likely White-LED. I don't expect Dell to offer RGB-LED or B+RG on this model.

GPU options (UPDATED): NVIDIA GT555M 1.5GB. This GPU seem to be part of the motherboard, and cannot be upgraded.

Just like its bigger brothers, there's an optional SiBeam WirelessHD card+antenna, for transmitting a FullHD signal to your TV. The 14X will also offer the now standard LTE/WiMax 4G options.

It has two SuperSpeed USB3.0 ports.

Color options: Red, Black

The usual Alienware Name plate and FX lights are standrad as well.
