    Still have it, returned another one they sent me. Waiting to send this one back as soon as I get the Desktop should be here by next week for sure. System was delayed. They are going to give me the FULL refund, some dude i've been working with throughout this whole thing has been hookin me up and pullin strings. I've had my original purchase in Novemeber of 09... so he was like "this situation is not Common", and I had to put the order in for a new system before they'd take the laptop back. Or maybe b/c I bought a 30 inch 3008WFP. 2560 x 1600 is Beautiful, get one if you can. Also, Screw laptops, real games should be played on a desktop anywayz. Portability is cool, but an m11x should be good enough to "get by". Max settings and luxury fps leave it to the desktop.

    Anywayz I'm sure i'll be happier with the desktop. 2 gigs of ram each with ddr5 ram.... in xfire. Liquid cooled processor.

    Just a note, the m17x still pushed sc2 pretty well on max max settings. (2560 x 1600 res widescreen) Looks beautiful. But when the game gets really hardcore like 1000 units in battle each with a different animation and carriers with a mothership cloakin mine and all my ally units/buildings... you tend to see choppiness and lag still. But hey what do you expect with those kind of settings. It IS JUST a LAPTOP. Still pretty good.
