Welcome to the R-11 team, mate.
Hope you can receive this small beast soon.

More and more people are getting R11, i guess most of the gamers nowadays prefer portability rather than performance

true story. but for me, the bigger the laptop the more i want except 18" models. i cant bear the weight of an 18" laptop.

IMO if a real gamer or enthusiast, should just get PC. If not, a normal gamer like me, gt650m should suffice.

those that bought this little beast did you go for the i5 version or the i7 CPU?

Most of the users picked i7-3630QM, some games nowadays are optimizing quad core advantage like BF3 etc.
The i5-3210M does a great job too in gaming though.

Not really. If that's the case we would not have RS-17/ RX-17 customers.
The unique point of R-11 is the size and weight. How many ultrabooks/ netbooks out there can actually handle games handily?

I think its because of the price as well
The price gap between the R1-11 and the RS-15/17 is pretty big

from the pictures of R11, it looks similar to this clevo http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/system/Xplorer...Gaming_Notebook notebook. is it the same and just some rebranding or another thing?

sorry if i'm being a slowpoke here.. ^__^

Yes, a lot of customised laptops are using Clevo barebone.

@erszebeth

Clevo is OEM manufacturer.
Illegear using Clevo barebone and sell it under Illegear's brand.

Sneak peak! Haha no peak actually. Cannot open until reach home. Eta 7 hours. Lol

Congratz bro
I guess you can't wait to get back home

Even without the laptop I can't wait to get home. Now with this? Haha

Wow, that's fast. The day before yesterday you made your payment. Today you got it lol

Well, there is no compromise here on either power or performance!

I'm like one of those oddballs with the i5-3210M.

I got mine from this site. Lovely upgrades and accessories they give for free if you buy at the right times. I got a 128GB Corsair Force GT SSD and a Creative soundcard and gaming headset for free with my X1M.

yup very fast indeed. they post it by yesterday morning. 1 day to arrive

those that have theirs already hows it handle overheating and such, I want to hear a few more postive reviews before I place my order for one, but the size, weight and the power packed into one of these, definitely has me very close to ordering one

Overheating? Mine doesn't go above 85C at all at full tilt and I can barely hear the fan.

I guess I better open my wallet then and order one, only problem I can even think of is no backlit keyboard on the smaller model

Whats the battery life when doing tiny tasks like office/web etc and then battery life when gaming or watching a film, I think those are the last questions I need to know about
