I can't decide, for the life od me, which one I want. Both of them have stong pros, as well as their cons. I like the mba, but I hate how it doesn't have a backlit keyboard. The m11x is a powerhouse of a 11" notebook, but doesn't do much for thickness. I also don't care much for it's hdd, which is why I didn't change it...I have my own. The mba's ssd is nice, but harder to replace/upgrade(for now at least). These are the configurations I would pick set them as if I would pick one.
M11X specs:

Alienware M11x, Soft Touch Stealth Black

My gut is telling me something, but I'm having a hard time going with it.
Which would you pick? Anyone have the M11 by any chance? Or used one ever? How about the MBA 11?
