    Hi. This thread is just to ask, confirm, and possibly let people know of my suspicions. I saw a picture of a M14x, which I now can't find, which clearly showed the back end of the computer having only one heat vent. Does this mean glued in graphics like the M11x? I never saw the back of a M11x but I suspect it was similar. If this is true, it seems that it's not the tiny powerhouse many were hoping for, but just a combo between M11x and M15x, which would make more sense. The M17x R3 is probably M15x real successor.

    Doh. I accidentally put the arrow in the title the wrong direction! please somebody switch it to <

    Yeah it's been long discussed that the R3 was the successor. The m14x has a 555m gt which is a soldered GPU afaik.
