Hello impalajuan;

Unless you can sell your current notebook for a very good price you'll probably be disappointed in buying a new IB equipped notebook. Especially if you're happy with the current notebook's gaming performance.

Hang on to your m17x r3 till the IB systems hit and you can see the prices and actual performance. That will give you a much clearer picture to decide if you want to try and sell your notebook.
