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.

They say most probably will be i3/i5.

Because i7 ULV cost is quite high, if they include it on m11x will cause m11x price match with m15x price which is something will not happen.

Only hope for current user is , if dell design the new mobo and port same size with the current one. Then it will have at least a little hope for current user to change the entire mobo.

But what i hear is ULV i5 have lower clock speed and performance compare to OCed SU7300. Not sure

Haha, was oc OC since day one too. Was thinking when i just normal surfing and document.

I can turn the OC off to enable better battery life, i think it reduce heat too?

Just turn it off today, only notice start up will have 1-2 second slower. biggrin.gif

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. biggrin.gif

p/s: you used a stopwatch for that?  laugh.gif

Currently using alien brain stop watch. tongue.gif i will use stop watch to measure it, as for battery life.

I never have a full test with OC on yet, m11x never fail me on battery life. I never have a time that the battery is
lower then 30%.

Btw did you try the A03 BIOS update?

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? biggrin.gif

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? smile.gif

I hear they say A03 did not fix the FN+f2 function, even its stated doh.gif

So no point to update with the Jet plane fan speed.

I will run a test with same setting with non-oc. If i have a chance to use 7 hour m11x with battery. biggrin.gif
