    Just purchased my m11x r2 I7 core m11x online with the $160 discount, can't wait to get it.I am selling my desktop and I am going to be using this as my primary computer. Alot of my games are old like dungeon keeper and command & conquer renegade, I have alcohol 120 on my desktop but havent used in awhile, anyone tried this with the m11x, seems like it would be a good fit since it has no optical drive.

    Has anyone tried baldurs gate or planetscape from GOG? Hopefully these games won't have issues with optimus.

    Just remember to use whitelist if you need to.

    You shouldn't even need to whitelist games off of GoG. They are so old, that the Intel HD Graphics GPU will have more than enough power for them.

    I'd just let those games run off of the Intel GPU, to save battery life.
