Morning string. lolz. true also. but i like i said earlier, i really wan portability.  the thing i worried bout buying ori games besides the price is the need to use a dvd drive.. i cant be bringing my dvd drive all the time to library. >.<
and i just need a headphone around rm180 and below. i find that tactx is the only choice i have.. i cant afford to get logitech, megalodon or the audio techniqa p350.  so yea, again i do not want to carry the ori disc and dvd drive along with me all the time. any way to solve this problem?
im getting my first ori disc and proud of it. hehehe... u noe, i may even find a crack after installing the game just to not carry around the disc + dvd drive.

Get games from Steam,no discs required at all,provided you have unlimited bandwidth and a way to buy the games online. It's a low resource software and automatically patch games for you. Plus,it has an instant messaging system to keep in touch with your friends while in game. Besides, almost everyday there are offers for cheap games that cost like 7 to 10USD. It's a great place to get cheap original games,regardless it's a new game or classics.

Besides,dont use original games price/disc/shit as an excuse for not buying original,especially when you are using an Alienware. You can afford an Alienware, why not buy a few originals?

Seriously,dude,even im using an old M1530, im still buying originals to the point i owned 30 over Steam games, even my com can barely take some of them like Dragon Age. It's just a token of appreciation to the developers that made those great games.

Lastly,speaking as a player who enjoyed BFBC2 Beta, BFBC2 shines in multi player,not single player. It's probably the best modern warfare based shooter you can get in the market. Get original and start to pawn online.

For those who own M11X and an original copy of BFBC2,how well does the game run on your M11X?

Yo, i'm testing an M11x at the moment. It's the highest spec possible with 8Gb ram and 256Gb SSD. Unfortunately the game ran at an average 20fps. Might need to tweak some settings letter to get a more playable fps in multiplayer. I guess the game is really taxing on the proc. DIRT 2 ran super smooth though. thumbup.gif

Thats quite bad,to be honest. :/

The processor isnt strong enough,it seems.

Tried both with the same result. Thus the cpu is the bottleneck.

Considering that the game is extremely CPU intensive,i think M11X have no chance at BFBC2 then,since M11X's processor is quite weak.

its worth every single cent ! laugh.gif

unless your usage is HD video editing or Photoshop, its not suit you. the CPU is sorta weak for those kind of job.

M11X seems to excel on more GPU intensive games,but how about BFBC2 which is more to CPU?

Does M11X runs it well?

Thanks a lot.

I can start saving for one then,or something similar.

The frame rates isnt very high,though. BF3 will kill M11X.

yeap. M11x definitely can't handle CPU-intensive games. nevertheless, it's still a good performer when comes to most of the titles. wink.gif

It's a good laptop.

It just worries me that it cant really take CPU intensive games.

We may see the Acer TimelineX soon? Corei5/Corei7 with ATi HD5650 tongue.gif It's 13.3" and 14" would be like the most powerful sub 15" gaming notebook tongue.gif

How much for that?

It will rape BFBC2 with i5/i7!!11111111 biggrin.gif

i've been looking for a laptop.. been researching bout M11x.. i'll be using the laptop for several important task:

Photoshop, Illustrator (Main task)
Gaming (Possibly 2-3 games, such as L4D2)
Internet surfing
Audio/video

is this M11x powerful enough to handle Photoshop just like breeze?

or is there any other recommendation on other laptops (model @ brand) ?

What i know about M11x is it excel at applications that is GPU dependent,which are mostly games but i have seen some commercial software trying to tap into the power of GPU like Matlab after CUDA addon.

When it comes to CPU intensive programs,M11x isnt that good in it.

M11x's performance on CPU intensive games are just so so like BFBC2 while it managed to run ME2 very well,which i heard it run it on Max.

just when i'm about to order the m11x, asus came out with their new N82jv with i5 and gt335m for the same price... now i'm confused between the both of this... alienware is cool and mobile but asus has better specs and comes with usb 3.0... plz advice which should i get guys... btw the asus is damn ugly compared to the M11x.... >_<"

I would take Asus any day.

Cant afford to spend so much on a small laptop that need external monitor to play games and a weaker processor.
