    Well - should I? I have the desktop in my sig and have absolutely no present use for the m17, however, I need a more portable laptop.

    if you only game at home yeah i think that would be your best recourse with the money you make back after you sell and purchase the m11 you could go xfire in that beast of a rig too! :D

    Yes, with that kind of desktop, you do have no use for the m17x. The m11x, IMO, will much better suit your needs.

    Also, with the extra cash as the above poster mentioned you can xfire that beastly card or just hang onto the extra cash. It's a win/win.

    Agreed. That's the route I'm going too. Big power stays home, little power goes on the road. You don't need two big powers sitting at home IMO, waste of money.

    Yup I would sell the M17. Like you I have a very powerful desktop hooked up to a nice big LCD screen. So when I buy laptops I want small, powerful with decent battery life and thats what the M11x will be.

    If you didn't already have a powerful Desktop then I would have suggested you kept the M17 but since you do, I recommend you sell it and buy the M11x without the slightest doubt.
