    The game i played is difference from yours. I played CIV5, most of the setting has to be medium to low and at lower resolution. FF14, low resolution and standard to low settings. BF3 i stopped playing long time ago because of M4400 can't handle it, may pick it up later.

    I've Crysis 2, DIRT3 and Just Cause 2 installed on my M4600, can play in high res, iw/o lag, smooth...
    In D3, all settings in high, AA set in 8xCCSSA

    No problem at all For CS5...don't know about Maya, I use 3DS Max, and it performs well good

    oh, i mistaken BF as BattleForge, but there is no version3 too.
    M6600 is for gaming, M4600 is poor on that. I chose M4600 just because of the size, it is already a "big" laptop to most people, none of my friends having bigger laptop or equivalent size to M4600. M6600 is very good except for the size, to me size is the deal breaker, not sure about yours.

    are both m4600 and m6600 priced the same ?.....because the size itself its making me hard to decide between them both ......sometimes i think of buying the m6600 and keeping my envy15 for taking to class or coffee shop....still its hard for me to decide

    The price is different mainly because of the type of graphic card you choose, type of 2nd hard drive. M8900 is the best deal with good gaming performance and much lower cost. Yes it is a hard decision, I have been thinking hard about M4600/M6600/P150HM for months to decide.

    Putting in a second request on this. Could you please install HWInfo32 and let us know what the power draw on the battery is?

    Thanks!

    An additional feature set for the intel , Im actually interested in trying out the Wireless Display. I know it is an advertised feature in the XPS series I assume it will work here as well. Can anyone confirm?

    Thanks for the detailed review, iieeann!

    Don't remember if this was mentioned anywhere: does the touchpad support any multi-touch gestures?
