    I bought an m11x back in October when this deal was just for military personnel. Perfect if you need a computing platform on the go that packs power. I use it for all my CSCI classes and as a flight simulator as well. It's nice pulling this out and watching the MacBook Pro guys 'hipness' melt away.

    I just want to know where the "1GB GeForce GT 335M discrete GPU" falls on the Graphics Card Hierarchy Chart. If it can't even make the chart, it can't be good, right?

    The GPU is just fine, especially for the lower resolution you would be playing at. Its the low clocked CPU's that come with these m11x's that you need to worry about, especially with all these CPU bound console ports that are coming out.

Should be able to play current games on medium such as bfbc2 and sc2(maybe high on sc2, depends on actual config in game) its between a 4670 and a 5650.
    robochumpHow is the battery life with all of those lights blinking everywhere?battery life with the su7300 c2d had about 5-6 hours in review. so i say battery life should be around 4-5 basic websurfing etc..
