A few questions for m11x owners

Hey guys. So after leaving alienware 2 years ago I am thinking of coming back and purchasing a m11x notebook. I have a few conerns about this notebook conerning it's screen size and CPU power.

1) How is the screen size for gaming and movies? Sounds really small...

2) how is the screen size for text and browsing the web? can you snap two webpages next to each other and read them comfortably?

3) how is CPU power outside gaming? Do you think a few web pages open, listening to music, and IM'ing would make it struggle?

4) Overclocking... Easy? How much performance boost?

5) any other facts or problems with this machine you would make note of?

Thanks guys!

1 - no issues at all here, for me the size is perfect (and the reason I got the machine)
2 - size is fine, I wouldn't want to snap 2 pages on the screen though
3 - not at all, the machine runs great
4 - you turn it on in the BIOS and you're done, not sure about the performance increase as I turned it on straight away (not sure why anyone wouldn't)
5 - the only issue I have with the machine is that sometimes when you switch from Intel to Nvidia graphics you need to close some apps down, seems like a bit of hack to me

 

I'd like to add one question since the thread was started - can you use DDR3 1066 RAM?

 

Dell ship the M11x with dual channel 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM.

 

Great to know, thank you. By looking at the site it states 800mhz.

 

i have a question


can someone test bad company 2 for me?


does it run? if so how well?

thanks

 

Raptor, check the **M11X Gaming Discussion Thread** , I believe it was discussed, but don't know the final word.
