    I'm planing on buying a new laptop before school starts, AKA 1-2 months

    1. Will the m17x R2 support vid cards like the 460/485+? or is the 285 the best that will work?

    2. about how long would the batt last while watching vids/etc on the 9400m with the RGB LED?

    the 9400M is not available for the M17x R2, only for R1.

    I thought the R2 had some sort of integrated graphics. :confused:
