    I decided I want an m11, not caus I need it, but just caus I got to have one ^^

    I first decided I needed an R1 or R2, then I saw some benches from the R3, and I figured I should spend a couple of bux more and get the top of the line.
    Now I watched some more stuff online, and I don't know anymore ><

    Is there 'really' a big difference between an R1, R2 or R3?
    It would be mainly for me to game on the couch, and if the difference in most games is 1-2-3 fps, then i'm not going to bother choosing anything and just buy the first one which gets thrown at me.
    But as the R3 has a 2nd gen i7 and the GT540m, i'm just doubting, it looks quite some faster on paper, but is it worth it?

    There's little difference between the R1/R2, I'd go for the R3.
