    i just wanna ask if asus will be fielding a 12inch gaming laptop with a gt 335m video card or a 5650 video card?

    is there in indication of refreshing the lamborghini VX3 with same CPU options but with a wicked video card like the gt 335m or the 5650 ati?

    "12 inch" and "gaming" are quite ironic...

    Do you mean "Solitaire" and "Mine Sweeper" as "the game"?

    I have found a review of it at NBR:

    Alienware M11x Build and Design

    The CPU is:

    "1.3GHz Intel SU4100 (800MHz FSB, 2MB Cache) or 1.3GHz Intel SU7300 (800MHz FSB, 3MB Cache) both overclockable to 1066MHz FSB (approximately 1.73GHz)"

    Don't know what kind of "gaming machine" this is... I would say a true gaming laptop should have Core i7. Does m11x offer Core i 7 as an option?

    The next generation of it is said to have it as an option, but that's not the point. The point is that it's an 11" laptop that can do some decent quality gaming. It's a very potent combination of portability and power, and thanks to switchable graphics, it gets good battery life as well. Is it as powerful as my G73JH? Hell no. That's fine, that's not the point.

    The MX11 is pretty awesome when you think about it. Give it a few years and we could are fit a xbox into gameboy ;).

    But when you go THAT small you run into some serious limitations. No DVD drive? That's a big one for someone like me. Great laptop, but make sure you really look it over, I really wanted one until I realized they removed the DVD DRIVE.

    Hmm. I think the ul30jt or pj or whatever it was will be decent, and asus is planning on something else fancy ... I'm not sure if it was an n43 or something...
