    I Was originally going to get an alienware M11x but recently saw this.

    Samsung X125 11.6-Inch - Netbook Reviews

    I would need it mainly for school work and some 'light' gaming. Do you guys think it would suit those needs?

    The Samsung UK website says that the GPU is the ATI 4225. Notebookcheck's assessment of the GPU is here and includes some gaming results. That GPU is current at #184 in the notebookcheck benchmark list which is just above the Geforce 8400M G and also above the Intel X4500.

    Yes, very similar if not the same. The Samsung X125 specs say:
