    What bad experience did you have with your M17x?

    Not to bash the M11x but aren't you concerned that you feel a little disappointed with it? I mean, downgrading from the 11 to the 17? Obviously if money is a factor then I can understand that.

    The GPU was dead right out of the box. Not a big deal as I know it happens, but when the tech says Ill see you this Wednesday and 2 weeks AFTER Wednesday they call as say it will be another week is not cool. I called dellienware and returned it for my SXPS 16. SHame cause I loved the m17x, but Im glad cause my SXPS is quite nice and packs the same CPU power (most important for me).

    Not really. I only had the m17x for about a month and for what I do the SXPS does just as well as the m17x. Plus I need a smaller laptop that can last a long time on battery and the most intensive game I play now is WoW and thats casual play at that.

    Thats cool. Thats exactly how Im looking at it. All I play is WoW and the demands are not that great compared to what the M11x offers so it works perfectly.
