    I definitely wont argue that yours beats the out of mine with a quadro, but still, compared to most laptops around, the m15x is still powerful

    Hey, just wanna say congrats man. It's a great feeling right?? :)
    You're right compared to other 15 inch laptops the m15x is the most powerful regarding battery life and GPU. Only Alienware is able to stuff such a strong graphics card solution in a small package. Others manufacturers you see them in 17 inchers.

    Like the Clevo. I know. Sorry for going overboard there. I hope that you'll forgive me on that. But, nothing can beat the Binary GFX and Battery time. That's what I meant. :rolleyes:

    Well either one looked pretty good. But I went with the m15x since like you, portability was more of a concern for me. The 17 inchers (boy you could go a lot of places with that phrase :D ) seemed bit big to cart around while business traveling.
