Alienware's M11x Netbook Priced

I never thought the words "gaming netbook" were two that I would ever utter together seriously. Leave it to the guys at Alienware to prove me wrong. Announced back at CES, the M11x features some pretty hefty specs:

- 11.6-inch display
- NVIDIA GT335M switchable graphics
- 6.5 hours of battery life, normally, with a purported "over 2 hours" when gaming

Alright, where do I sign? I want one of these babies like you wouldn't believe. But, it gets better. When Alienware announced the laptop, they also announced that the base price would be "under $1000." Now that is what I like to hear. Well, the clever team over at Engadget managed to discover the price hidden away in the source code of the M11x's microsite. According to them:

So, there you have it. A viable gaming laptop, scratch that, netbook, for $799. It almost makes me fond of the days when even being able to play a PC game could make your wallet ache. Almost.
