    Here's a unboxing video of M11x R3. YouTube - M11x R3 unboxing

    3DMark06 Result

    3DMark06 connected via HDMI to a samsung 27inch LCD monitor Result

    Installed SC2 and was able to play Ultra with around 25-50FPS i was impressed with that.
    The FAN! Oh wow the first time I heard it I was like, WHA?? That's sooo loud! The M11x can match the SF-19 cooler on max fan.
    The screen I really can't compare it the older M11x's since i didn't had them, but I'm not one of does people who can distinguished a good and a bad monitor and in my noobish opinion the screen is great for me ;)




    Some pictures ;)

    I noticed the fan noise too lol.

    But when just cruising the web or doing office/word stuff it's quiet as a church mouse. I have no worries bringing this to the library or other public place.

    As long as I don't game there haha
