    There are tons of switchable competition. Just not in an 11" form...

    True enough, but some folks, and I have seen it voiced here, have wished for a slightly larger screen, so it might be more appealing.

    Add to that the ability to add a second battery that gives you up to 14 hours of use and you are talking a whole different game, IMHO.

    Not sure how that would translate into gaming time, I am not a big gamer myself, but I would like to find a icore powered system with better than integrated graphics that has the potential battery time where I dont have to look for a outlet wherever I stop.

    I have doubts.
    While the CPU is fair bit better, the graphics card isn't nearly as good as the one in the M11x.

    That´s the point of the m11x, the 11.6" screen, around that size, is the best, more powerful gaming machine out there...

    Because that Sony lap is a 13", is 2" more, and by that, you can also say that the m15x is a competition of the 13" Sony lap, since is, you know 2" more also...
