    I have always my m11x OC and with the Nvidia card on. When I unplugg it i get like 5 hrs surfing on the web (Well, that's what it says on the mini battery icon on the taskbar). I have not tested the battery life when Im gaming.

    Its a tough decision. I would say an I5 R2. O/C the I5 and you can hit I7 numbers. But add a separate SSD like the 80GB G2 Intel drive. It makes a world of difference.
