    I have a major speech presentation in my speech class and I was thinking to do a informative speech on M17X as most of the people don't know about it or think its a chinese rip off. So, I need to give them a piece of my mind as well as yours. So, I need some major points and sub points on it.
    I was thinking to focus on CPU,GPU and need some more points.
    Do add your views so that I can give your ideas too.

    I'd say that you can talk about how it's used extensively for damading jobs like engineers and CAD, or vide editing, as well as gaming, and all the other good stuff

    I think you will look like a huge nerd I would pick a different topic not very many ppl would be interested or care about a high end gaming laptop.

    So what. Write about what interest you. Look at exciting those people who may be bored to death. Combining cutting edge technology in a completely retro 20 pound case allows you to visit virtual worlds that weren't even possible just a few short years ago.

    I would encourage you to do a little more research on your own, as far as looking at a few different sites; etc... You'll know the information a lot more throughly, and are better prepared to answer questions.

    Good luck.

    I was trying to make a informative speech about helping choosing a right notebook for you..kind of thing. I know I will be like a nerd but it would be exciting than Obama speech or some brain cells description which people presented. Also I would have expression, hand gestures automatically while describing about it. Also, I think I will put M17X as a example rather than subject.

    skip computer and talk about drugs lolz...teachers love hearing arguments about legalization or effects of it and students actually pay attention. I think my informative speech was on how easy it is to make meth with household items and i think i got like low 90's as a grade but can't remember it was a while ago lolz.

    Ask Dell if you can have a emty chassie and make some comedy in your speech. Let say that you talk alittle about cpu, gpu and a whould like design, and behave a little clupsy and drop the emty chassie right after you told the audience about the $$$ and that you have borrowed the damn computer from dell :)

    Ok a little update..
    Since most of you said that I should not go with M17X so I choosed Pollutions and its remedies. Unfortunately, my turn didn't came last Thursday so I got speech this Tuesday. One person in my class gave a speech about COD BlackOps comparing its feature, prices and stuff with MOH and most of them seemed to enjoy it. lol
    So, I think I will skip Pollution and give a speech for M17X. Atleast I will not require a notecard ;)
    So what 3 main points you think should I focus?
    :D

    On a clean slate I would be most interested in:

    -Performance (Components etc)
    - What you can use the components for (CAD etc)
    - Your personal view on the pricing and a general overview of the laptop.
    - Compare it to other systems including the design of the laptop and the physical quality of the casing. (M17x case is Metal outisde ;))

    Since most of the people were interested in COD BO, I believe they would be interested in M17X too.
    Beside, my classmates are retard! lol
