    I was wondering does anyone have any benchmarks for this?

    Say with the AMD Athlon II Neo K325 (Dual Core 1.3ghz ) Processor,4gigs of ram and AMD Integrated ATI RS880M Graphics.

    Would it run C&C3,Battlefield 2142 and Supreme commander? Even at lowest settings?

    Since a single core Intel Celeron (65nm) 2 GHz with Intel GMA 4500m can handle C&C3 and BF2 (Almost same system req. as BF2142) this AMD powered Dell should have no problems.

    Cool thanks. What settings do they run at? Any idea about SupCom?

    I just placed an oder for one of these today. Unfortunately the estimated delivery is just a few days shy of a month from now. :( However, Dell has always gotten my products out slightly before, so I'm optimistic.

    I almost pulled the trigger on an inspiron 11 not too long ago and I still had it in my cart today when I placed my new order. Looks like the m101x will be it's replacement.

    I am purchasing this for my travel laptop to take to school, work, etc.. I just hope I'm not dissapointed with build quality or sub par performance for everyday tasks.

    There's a review of the M101z at Hexus.net. Build quality seems good and performance isn't an issue either.

    Vortex, thanks for the link. That was a fairly helpful review. I'm pretty excited about getting my hands on this thing. It will go a lot better in my bag than the brick of an XPS 16 I currently have. Finally, that thing can stay at home and be a desktop replacment for my games and more taxing tasks as I meant to be. :)
