    I am trying to decide between the Asus G51JX-X2 and the M11x. Basically both portability and gaming are important to me for university. I know the Asus has the better GPU but it's also quite bigger than the M11x (11")...so any suggestions?

    Here is a link to the Asus
    thanx

    Going to be a huge difference in regards to portability, but an even larger difference if you're running off batteries. With the G51's, expected to be tethered to an AC outlet if you're doing any type of gaming.

    Also, we need to know which games or types of games you're going to be primarily playing.

    Cheers,

    Well, I'm always on high perf there are less power hungry modes, but I get around 2 hours. At school there is always an outlet available.
