Difference between m11x r2 , r1?

Hello guys Another post .... I want to know what is the difference between m11x r1 , r2 and Mine I guess that is not r1 or r2. Thanks guys

 

By the way guys... IM reallly sure that i bought last month..

 

The main differences between the two are processor selection and the external finish of the machine. The R1's were coated in a glossy finish and were available with either a Core 2 Duo or Pentium processor. The R2 versions are available in a black matte "soft touch" coating and have Core i3, Core i5 and Core i7 processor options depending on region availability.

 

I got the core 2 duo processor is that mean that I cant use the optimus geforce?

 

Optimus is only available on the icore processors (the R2). The R1 uses a manual switch for the graphics cards (FN +F6).

 

Oh okay so Basicly I dont need to try to find the optimus....just with the fn+f6 will be okay.. right?

 

That's exactly the opposite of the case

Without Optimus, one uses fn-f6. With Optimus, one must whitelist programs to specify which GPU to use. If you don't know how to do that, a quick search of the forum should turn up the thread with precise directions.

 

Error!
Line 12: Input ["How to use Optimus"]-->corwinicre(input);
Function has returned error: Function is inoperative.

 

PS for future reference "R1 or R2" is printed on the bottom side of you M11x.

 

Oh thanks anyways I went to the information of my pc and it says alienware m11x only. Buy yeah I will check the forums to see more of this. I want to get the best of my pc =)

 

I also believe the R1 have VGA-out port, which the R2 doesnt have

So which 1 have the better feel and look?
Base on your words i love looking at the R1 and touching the R2

 

Is it only for the R2? Because I don't have a "R1" on mine...


At any rate, the CPU sticker on the underside would be the other giveaway

 

One more visible difference: The R1 has a VGA port, the R2 does not.
