    Hey guys I just got this laptop about a week ago for $799 all stock, i love this thing! This footage is of tf2 on the highest game settings, battery is on high performance, and the computer is overclocked. This server had 16 people and there was minimal to no lag! My fps ranged from 40-60.

    This thread was for people who do not have the m11x. To prove how beautiful gameplay is on such a compact laptop!

    Enjoy :) PLEASE REMEMBER TO WATCH IN HD 720P

    TF2 runs well, but it can definitely tax your system. I play on 32 player servers and because of the style of play of TF2 you often end up with lots of players on the screen at once. It can definitely overwhelm the M11x.

    just make sure to overclock it, and put your battery option on HIGH PERFORMANCE. a lot of people think theres only 2 battery options. Balanced and Power Saver. HIGH PERFORMANCE is hidden, go to "more power options"

    Be sure to enable multicore in TF2 also.

    Hi, i'm using the i5 and my tf2 with overclocked GPU and slightly overclocked CPU seems terrible, I can't decide if it's an optimus problem or not. Any i5 users getting more than an average of 20 fps? :/
