Hey guys.. juz wanted to know. are M11X suitable enuf for hardcore gaming and graphic/video job?
the usual skewed interpretation of HARDCORE GAMING.

you can be a hardcore gamer even on a low-spec machien running low details and all laaaaa. biggrin.gif

anyway I've just tested the M11X.

1366x768 reso. can run Crysis (not Warhead) on Medium details 0xAA just fine. with that, this means you get to run most games just fine with the GT335 GPU.

processor wise it's lacking, so expect not so stellar loading time and lack juice on processor dependent games.

sorry forgot to state - er, my benchies file not here now. LOL. average i remember is 20++ la. between 20 to 25 if not mistaken. that's for Crysis.

so for games like COD:MW2 it'll be better. games like BF BC2 bleh, i think it'll crawl as well so have to turn down details lower.

IINM BF BC2 feels like it stresses more CPU power than MW2 too. HAWX shouldn't be a problem la since the graphic is not so demanding.

Added on April 13, 2010, 5:15 pmi think nicest part about the M11X is the color changing Alien FX thing. biggrin.gif

Like what the other forumers have stated, and what GLODFRIES has as well, I think what you are referring to is the level of graphic quality for the recently released titles. You won't be able to max out the Graphic settings for the games, seeing that even the M15x is defeated by quite a number of titles, but you will be able to enjoy smoother gameplay at lower setting at the expense of Anti-Aliasing and effects/shadows....
The price for which it was sold was around the region od USD$450 which is the high RM1.xK here in Malaysia after a conversion rate of roughly 3.25
Well said, my point exactly. There are those who like to play on full settings(Like me) and there are those who prefer smooth gameplay regardless the surroundings. I think the M11x can handle games based on the latter rather than the former. icon_rolleyes.gif

there will certainly be compromise.

for the M11x (some sites call it netbook) - it certainly can game better than any of the notebooks / netbooks out there.

seriously la, you try any other onboard GPU (even the one on Core i3) they can't even run Crysis properly at 1024x768 with low / medium details.

the M11x is as it is - portable gaming.

I see... If it just for work? ( for graphic & video design) is it working nicely or I need M17X for that?
you do realize it's an SU7300 processor right?

i have another notebook with higher SU processor and you know what - it can't even play 1080p videos properly.

want to do video design some more ah? smile.gif video some more ah? that one i recommend you Dell Inspiron 15 (tested it 2 weeks ago) with awesome sound and huge screen and most of all - i3-540m processor!

I actually like it with this processor. I dont think I can find any other laptop that I can play Heroes Might and Magic 5 for 5 straight hours on my recent trip to Penang. That game can run with the highest settings on the integrated graphic, so I dont have to switch on the performance mode. They are trying to save power here, thus the low powered CPU is implemented.

Although I do pity my brother who drove the car for 5 straight hours. hehe

At least SU with Intel Graphic allow me to have a 8 hour battery life. Loss that but gain this.

that's a plus point if you want to game while travelling or wish to improve battery life. biggrin.gif i prefer to sleep while travelling.

reach hotel baru start gaming with the power cord connected. rclxms.gif so to me the SU isn't exactly that helpful, furthermore games are getting more intensive and for a gaming capable machine I would love to be able to play 1080p movies properly as well.

i think games like Supreme Commander would probably just crawl like halfway through the game.
