    I've been getting a ton of cute comments on my M11x R2 lately since school started. All the comments coming from girls of course but to me the M11x was like a beast of a little laptop in comparison to other little laptops.

    Just wondering anyone else getting these comments? I have a feeling my color lit keyboard has something to do with it. I usually switch between Purple, White & off for battery life.

    M11x is definitely a chick magnet. I also have a thinkpad, and the general comments I get from girls with that is, "what's a thinkpad?"

    I don't really get it. What's cute about it, the lights, the alien head on the screen, the size in general, or a combination of all of those? (not that I'm complaining...)

    From a girl's perspective, I'm cute when I use it, lol. I think that it is the lights and the alienhead.

    Got plenty of compliments on my PC at school. Some of them even know what an Alienware is, too. A lot of it is how small the PC is, and the backlit keyboard.

    Step 1: Figure out their favourite colour.
    Step 2: Set AlienFX to that colour.
    Step 3: ???
    Step 4: Profit.

    I dunno but it feels really weird when I take out my m11x not because of it's looks or lights. Just that no one in my class uses laptops to take notes and I feel a bit out of place. It's a community college is why.

    Same here...
    A girl came up to me at school and said my laptop was cute.
    Must be because it's small.

    I actually have never gotten the cute comment. What color leds do this trick? However, I have got the "OMG, can i touch it comment"

    Regardless male/female, if anyone else had the same laptop, i would give them a compliment.

    I got the cute comment with the lights off in class from two friends of mine who had heard of it but hadn't seen it (one guy, one girl). I also got it with the purple keyboard lights on (my default as I both like purple and it's the least glaringly bright color I find) when I first took it out at my new apartment and one of my room mates saw it (female).

    Maybe girls appreciate small things. I wouldn't take that anywhere near my college though, it would disappear quicker than classes do when extra studies are mentioned.

    when I got mine and took it out, my girlfriend loved its size and the lights.

    her words were
    "i want an apple like that"

    "Beware of the cute foe ahead." -Demons' Souls PS3 :)

    Edit: oh and I take my m11x to my g/f's all the time, she loves it. One of the first things she said was, "Oh that's so cute! Cool..." (actually the first thing she said when I bought it was "Sigh") Probably because it wasn't a ring hahaha

    A quick flick of the hair during class usually does the trick but I guess the M11x is a close contender.
