    So hello there, I've been reading Notebook Review for the past few weeks, and then I decided to buy an Alienware M11x, which I just did. While my son is in production and shipping, I'd like to know from you guys if how good these Steam games that I have run on the M11x (preferably the R2 4gb) :

    -Gmod
    -Shattered Horizon
    -Team Fortress 2
    -Left 4 Dead
    -Left 4 Dead 2
    -Portal
    -Stalker CoP and SoC
    - EVE Online

    Also, any game recommendations are welcome :D

    Currently playing Stalker SoC on my R1 (SU4100)
    I patch the game with the Stalker Complete 2009.
    Almost everything maximum except for anisotropic and AA.

    Lowest FPS I got was 18-19. Runs generally at 30-45+
    Very playable. Although I have a M15x, somehow I liked playing it on M11x lol.
