M11X, should I just get a refund ?

M11x friends!
As most of you, we had our ups and downs with the M11x.
I'm in it for the long haul, but with numerous quality issues, hinge problems and some annoying keyboard lighting issues, Dell is sending me another replacement, but gave me another option if I want.

FULL REFUND if I request.

As I really LOVE M11x, I would just like all your opinions on one thing. If I do decided to get a full refund, what 11inch to 14inch notebook is better or faster than M11x. I curious if there are "better" gaming laptops than the M11x. Of course m11x has the portability and battery life, but could you guys give me your opinion on other 11inch to 14inch gaming notebooks?
preferably not too heavy, thanks brothers and sisters!

Let me know, thank you!

 

the acer timelinex 4820tg looks sweet. also advertises 8+ hours.

 

Get the refund and wait for CES

Might be a new M11x r3 or M13x

 

If you say you love the M11x, it's a good case for getting another one, but as you mention yourself the hinge issue, will most likely be a problem on the new machine too, and it's true that CES is around the corner. Could a R3 or a M12x or M13x be announced? I hope it.


As for Acer 3820 TG, with the 5650 HD graphics, we're talking about fantastic value for the money. In a light 13'' chassis also without a optical drive(a good thing) 3820 is an amazing mobile package?
The downside? It's an Acer through and through - poor quality, plastic chassis, bad display, incredible flex on keyboard, feels like you can snap it with a hand. If your on a very tight budget and just want the power and portability, get the 3820 - It's great value. It's just a really bad build machine. Thats the price you pay for getting it so cheap.



You could also pay 4000 Dollars for a Sony Vaio Z! its downclocked 330m is no match for M11x 335m though, but on the other hand it has a kick CPU, BluRay, 4-way raid SSD(not changeable) and an incredible 1080 resolution desplay. it's also almost half the weight of m11x, and made of carbon fibre.


But besides these 3? No... not really any ultraportable power performers. Envy 14 is close, but basically sized like a 15''.

 

This is EXACTLY what you should do, you may want the new product, or the new product may cause M11x prices to fall enough to get a good deal, etc.

 

AW's reveal at CES is the only thing exciting about this year's show IMO.

And no Apple event announced yet???

 

I hope I wasn't too haste in purchasing the M11x just recently. If some cool revision comes then I might be pretty bummed.

 

Unlikely. There are a ton of threads here with people claiming that the R3 is right around the corner. While possible, it's nothing beyond pure speculation.
