    I always see the zagg ad on this site and knew that they offered for the m11x. Will it work on the r3? Have the exteriors changed at all on m11x over the years?

    Also anyone know what parts the kit covers?

    Look at the dimensions of the R1 vs the R3 and if they are the same or very very close it should be just fine. All of the laptop skins I've seen with Zagg cover the top of the lid(other side of the screen) and the palm rest around the track pad only.

    Those are the 2 areas I'd like to cover wanted to make sure. I havnt decided on another r3 17" or an 11 and knowing they have a zagg Kit is good news. I thought the m11x hasn't changed exterior wise since it's inception

    M11x R1/R2/R3 have the same chassis.

    Cool that's what I thought.. Also the 1 reason I'm hesitant to buy it.. It's the last in the whole lineup to have a refresh/modern look. It looks so dated to me especially the grilles in front.
