    I was watching the m11x struggle through playing this game and it occurred to me that I don't think the m11x is as powerful as a notebook that every seems to agree on. Is this game just so system hungry its not playable on the m11x or is the game just coded bad?

    Even Desktops with dual GPU's and high end CPU's struggle with this one. The game is very poorly optimised but due to the slower CPU on the M11x, you will notice this a lot more than you would on another gaming laptop that has a fast Core i7 for example.
