    Hey guys, I just had one question. How long do you think the tech in the m11x will last before it becomes outdated (from a gaming standpoint)?

    A few years, It all depends on what games you like to play. My r1 still plays all the games I want along with most new games.

    Okay great, I just ordered mine:

    Intel® Core™ i5 2537M 1.4GHz(2.3GHz w/Turbo Boost, 3MB Cache)
    11.6" High Def (720p/1366x768) with WLED backlight
    4GB3 Dual Channel DDR3 SDRAM at 1333MHz
    500GB4 SATA hard drive (7200RPM)
    NVIDIA® GeForce® GT540M graphics with 1.0GB Video Memory and Optimus

    for $999.99

    I actually have a 1080p ASUS monitor I can hook it up to to watch movies, etc. as well :)

    I just have one more question: Is the small keyboard comfortable for typing? The reason I ask is because I would probably use it for typing long reports, etc.

    Yeah you get used to it pretty fast. I type all day at work on a big keyboard, the m11x one actually feels better... I have fewer errors with it.
