    Was planning on pulling the trigger on the current m11x i3 version that is for sale on the site now for $749.

    Has anyone here ordered this model recently? or know anything about it?

    Dell claims its an R3 version, but when I compare the specs to the i5 and i7 version a couple of things stand out.

    1) The i3 version has a webcam listed on the specs.
    2)The i3 case is listed as Soft Touch Stealth Black where the i5 and i7 are listed as Stealth Black with soft touch finish.
    3) The i3 display is WLED and the i5/i7 are WLED Backlit.

    Any help would be appreciated... Maybe there is no difference between the R2 and R3... I wouldnt know, never saw an R2.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    Is the GPU a GeForce 540M? That would make it an R3.

    There is an i3 for R2 and R3. The i3-330um is for R2 though. The i3-2357M is the R3 model.
