Alienware’s new M11x R3 Ultraportable Gaming Laptop weighs 4.4lbs but still claims to be able to game.  You can choose an i5-2537M or i7-2617M for a CPU, up to 16GB of DDR3, and either a standard HDD or SSD to power the 11.6" display at 1366×768.  Obviously it is SandyBridge’s integrated GPU which Alienware is counting on to provide the gaming performance, trading overall power for less weight.  Techware Labs was skeptical at the start of the review but ended up quite impressed with the ultraportable gaming machine, even with the minor flaws they discovered.

"The uptraportable meets gamer in this mashup laptop that combines killer looks, functionality, and performance. Now you can really take your gaming with you in a sub 5lb package without making huge sacrifices. It can be done and we show you how Alienware did it with our review of the M11x R3."
