    Hi everyone!

    Ive been hanging around these forums for a while as I was seriously thinking of purchasing one of these to replace my current Studio XPS 13. These forums have been a great service in my decision making process so thank you to everyone :)

    Now my question is this. Is there an alternative to the M14x that any of you could recommend? Reason I ask is that a lot of people seem to be having a few teething problems which is to be expected to a certain degree, but some of the problems I have read about seem to be a bit daft! Mainly the battery/cutting off issue and for a laptop that costs as much as it does that seems to be a big turn off for me.

    I will be using it in my office during the day as my main work horse but in the evening I want to play some games on it so need something with a bit a "umph" hence my original interest in this one. Im not a fan of big laptops either which again is why I was interested in this laptop!

    Many thanks in advance!

    Dave

    Thanks for the replies!

    Sorry Frenzy, I only looked at this forum! Should have explored it more I guess! Thanks for the suggestion :)

    Ive looked at Sager but I really would like a smaller laptop. I was having a look at Eurocom laptops as well, anyone had any experience with these?
