    That's completely up to if you're into the smaller size screen and can live with it.. 11" and 16" is a HUGE difference, so if you don't mind about the size then the M11X by far, it's extremely portable and has amazing power.

    The M11x uses the i7 UM CPU's compared to the Actual i7 Quad cores. The procs in the M11x are basically underclocked and underpowered i5's and the dual coe i7620. However this is powerful for the class that the M11x is in which is believe it or not netbooks. you should fill out the form in the which notebook should i get section located here http://forum.notebookreview.com/what-notebook-should-i-buy/29271-what-should-i-buy-form-must-read-before-posting.html that way we can get a better idea of what you are trying to actually use it for, and how much you're trying to spend then we can recommend better laptops.
