Damn I'm all so jealous of y'all...BTW, if I buy on retail I won't get the custom nameplate right? Where exactly is the plate located? And is it nice?

EDIT: All this talk about the m14x is making me second-guess purchasing an m11x. Any m11x owner care to give me some reassurance about its CPU power and screen size? I own an 11in Asus netbook, so I'm hoping I won't be bothered by the small size. I also have a Q6600 desktop with a GeForce 9600GT GPU (a 2 year old desktop) which still plays all the latest games at high settings so I have a primary computer.

I plan to use the m11x for word processing, gaming and multimedia on-the-go. So far the reviews I've seen show that the m11x can play SC2, Crysis at med-high settings which I don't mind at all, and yet I see some people always complaining about its 'lack of power'. Anyone care to give me some reassurance? biggrin.gif

There might be little discomfort changing from big screen (>15) to a small screen (<15) at first, but i can assure you it will get better from time to time, i finally get through it after 2 weeks of using it when i first borrowed the M11x from my sis. But i am sure it is slightly bigger than your 11inch Asus netbook.

So far i am very satisfied with its battery and CPU power, it can hold up to 6~7 hours of normal usage (Programming, web surfing, movie) and 4~5 hours of intense usage (gaming), they claimed it can hold up to 8 hours but i have yet to experience it. I have no problem multi-tasking and running all my engineering softwares and i actually lurve it more than my m17x because of its mobility potential, where it enables me to move around my campus with ease!!

Since you already have a desktop for your primary gaming, M11x is more than enough for your "word processing, gaming and multimedia on-the-go".
It depends on your preference and budget seriously, no point getting something you don't like right?

M11x: less gaming potential, more mobility
M14x: more gaming potential, less mobility

Its your choice. blush.gif

Well 14 inch isn't too heavy for me...
M14X gives a better overall package to me
