    I used to have an M11x r3, I loved it, but it is now outdated (and had an ULV CPU), and the razer edge pro is cool concept, but gets poor battery life and games like DOTA 2 and LOL are best played with a mouse so the tablet would require the accessories driving up the price drastically. For performance per price look into a Clevo W110ERor Sager NP7330 (Clevo W230ST). The W110ER is the same size as the M11x but is no longer produed (you should be able to find a refurb though. Its hardware is much better too. The Sager NP7330 Is the next smallest gaming notebook at 13.3". Has even better hardware and screen depending on where you order from. I don't know of any other notebooks with 13.3" screens and under with this amount of power as these two. If it has to be between the two you mentioned, go for the AW M11X hands down, Having to pay for the controller dock, extra battery, separate docking station if you want HDMI, and a separate Keyboard dock if you want a notebook (with no HDMI) all for the Razer Edge just is not practical and irks me.

    thanks for replying friend, really caught my attention the clevo sager laptops and samples not me but nothing about these brands is the same company? This is achieved by either amazon or sager clevo is 13.3 "is not the same size as alienware is more portable but the price brings good hardware, but since I do not live in usa if not in another country where I can only buy by amazon united states and not by ebay options sager or clevo 13.3 "exceed $ 1,100, some sager and clevo are achieved in less than $ 900 but does not say if many specifications are not complete or just the barebone laptops are also 15 or 17 "and it is not what I'm looking for but bring best features of alienware I'm looking for and even my laptops for home use, to use something that would use size the G55VW asus that I have.'s why I draws attention something small.

    the alienware m11x r3 used in amazon 750$
    the razer edge pro 256gb in amazon offers 988$ without any accesorie (keyboard, mouse, etc)
    the Sager NP7330 (Built on Clevo W230ST) with i5 processor 1145$
    Clevo W230ST with i7 processor 1376$

    It's worth noting that while on paper, the 11.6" screen on the alienware does not seem much bigger than the 10.1" Razer edge screen; in person it is a huge difference. I've owned an 10.1" Microsoft Surface Pro and had to sell it because the screen was just too small (played Star Craft 2 on it, and used it for note taking). When I had the M11x R3, it didn't seem too small. For a first person shooter like CSGO, or MMO like Dota2, that extra screen real-estate may be key. Thats all a personal opinion though, but I'll recomend the M11x because of that. Both systems should be able to play all those games on high settings.

    I loved gaming on my M11x R3. Your selection of games should run nice on that. The only one I've personally tested is League of Legends and it works fantastically.
