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

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

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

Oh yeah fully aware its not an ultra book, tho atm I do alot of my work on my mac mini desktop that I travelled with me, but its a pain to do that, so want to combine the productivity of using my adobe stuff and be able to have a laptop since my N130 died, and for the price this seems like a very good option. I would love to get a SSD in it, but I just dont think I can afford it at the moment. I guess i could go for the 128 GB SSD option and just get the i5 version, but I know very little bout this new SSD technology...

When you guys saying Rendering Im guessing your talking maya and stuff right? I mainly just use photoshop, dreamworks, and some primere pro for editing stuff, Im looking at getting a ssd for the OS and a 500 gb inside for storage + my own external should work quite nicely

aww that makes me a sad panda then

i got all confused because on the website it says "We offer a variety of storage options with the ability to store up to three individual hard drives and one Mini PCIe mSATA SSD drive. "

yeah would have been good to see what the answers to those questions were in fact

However, in saying that I have ordered my R-11 yesterday. just waiting for my payment to go thru

ILLEGEAR R-11
Promotion Display: 11.6" HD LED-Backlit Display with Matte Finished Surface (1366 x 768)
Perfect Screen Display: Professional Color Calibration [FREE]
Processor: 3rd Generation Intel® Core™ i5-3210M Processor
Graphics Card: 2GB GDDR3 Nvidia GeForce GT 650M GPU with Optimus / Embedded Intel HD Graphics
Thermal Compound: IC Diamond Thermal Compound - CPU + GPU [FREE]
RAM: 16GB Dual Channel DDR3 SDRAM at 1600MHz - 2 X 8GB (FREE)
Primary Hard Disk Drive: 256GB Crucial M4 Series SATA3 Solid State Disk Drive
Wireless Network Card: Internal 802.11 B+G+N Wireless LAN + Bluetooth Combo Module

+the free HDD to put into an enclosure, no OS. Going to clean install my own Home Premium (or Ultimate havnt decided yet) rather than Win 8.

yeah that sounds right, im not a massive online gamer so didnt opt for the better card.

And with the i5 I cant remember my reasoning in the end, I only just noticed that oversight now, guess its too late to change now

Hmm i guess that was the only real component I didn't read up about, and now looking at it 229 RM for the difference is a lot better? for the price difference?
