err that soon? would wait for a real world benchmarks to see the increase over the performance with the C2D since after all, the new i3/i5 are still ULVs.

replacing the mobo under the Complete Cover warranty as self-replace?

self-replace = upgrade system personally, yes exactly what i mean.

but i am thinking is, what if my mobo or proc was faulty (let's say, by end of this year once the M11x refresh was launched), will Dell replace a new mobo with the i3/i5 proc (assuming SU7300 is longer in production)?

lower clock speed & performance? we gotta wait for the real thing to launch to validate that statement, mate.

anyway, the new i3/i5 refresh don't really affect me that much as tbh i am quite happy with my current configuration. except when i plan to game & stream a video in the background.

OC on since day one, mate. why would you thought of turning it off?

probably it would save up on battery life? but don't think it will be significant though. think most of the heat are from the GT335M. why don't you give it a try and let us know the result?

my M11x is more like my desktop these days. only carried it around once since purchase.

p/s: you used a stopwatch for that?

do post the result here. tested the other day with WiFi, integrated graphics and 50% screen brightness, it managed to last me for almost 6.5 hours. and that's on OC. prolly 7 hours if non-OC?

nope. sticking to A01. the 'constant-spinning' fan issue didn't really bother me anyway. plus, with various issues reported on NBR, i shall wait. are you on A03?

err wonder how those scratches got there in the first place?

for an 11.6" screen with 1366x768 resolution, the display is really crisp (compared to some 13", 14" and 15" on the same resolution). i am used to my 12.1" work laptop hence 11.6" doesn't actually make so much of difference, but still, i got myself a 22" external LCD at home.

pricing error? for those who bought it at RM3499 must be darn delighted now. waiting for the RM3999 price to be revised upwards as well.
