Vanity item :D. You can get the same performance for a whole lot less. Mine's sitting in the corner with a busted GPU.


Skipping the arguments again.

The reason I'm buying it is actually because there's no other laptop that fulfills my needs. I want a 13" or smaller laptop that can play games. The M11x is an 11" laptop with a GT540M graphics adapter. I couldn't find any other laptop with similar specs. Though if you can point some out, I may change my mind. :P

True, but the one I got is, for that size I could've gotten more for less. Anyway you are right, at that size there's only one way to go really. I couldn't find or didn't bother to look thoroughly enough for something with the same output in 11" class. The closest I found were in the 13" categories with Asus and Acer. Acer uses ATI graphics so one would be giving up the optimus tech. Asus on the other hand uses GT520M which is roughly twice worse than the one used on the Alienware. But the asus has more battery and doesn't look like a toy.

http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Asu ... 520.0.html
http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Ace ... 605.0.html

However, they all get bashed because of the shity display quality. The problems highlighted in the review are probably amplified in games where day-night cycles occur.

Display ACER ASPIRE 3820GT

Nothing new on the display front. The reflective LG Philips screen is the same one as in the 3820TG with HD 5650 (model LP133WH2-TLA4). The 1,366 x 768 pixels now shine just a slight bit darker. The weak contrast ratio of 141:1 does't quite fit with a mini gaming notebook like this. The colors don't appear very vivid. The glossy screen does give colors a certain shine, though.

The weak contrast doesn't do the color space any favors, which turns out very narrow, contributing to the overall poor quality of the display. Neither Adobe RGB or sRGB are covered. The target color space is represented by the white grid (t). Compared to good consumer displays (Vaio EB3Z1E) or professional display (Vaio Z13B7E, EliteBook 8740w) the LG Philips LCD screen looks horribly old.

@ Satis: not that I mind you skipping the arguments but I do want to say that Peltz and I are being very civil. We're not going ZOMG U SUCK!!1 or anything, I think we got too old to care that much about arguing on the internet anymore. :roll:

Yes, quite true. And in the end we want the same thing, that politician would stop thinking of themselves as carriers of higher privileges and instead would start thinking of themselves as carriers of higher responsibilities. Its not a discussion over what but rather how and our perceived differences, its like mapping the same side of the coin from different perspectives.

hehe, fair enough. I didn't figure you guys were being uncivil or anything. Just not an argument/discussion I want to get involved in right now. I think we all actually have a fairly similar view of things, politically speaking, with our differences being rather minor.

As for the laptop, yea, I can find some 520M graphics out there, even from Dell (which I get discounts on via my company). The 540M performs much better than the 520M, hence my choice. The looks are secondary...and I'd honestly rather have something less childish. But it is what it is.

But without megacorps, we won't have shiny new toys and consumer goods as often as we do now.

Quality of life is measured by how many apple and android devices we own.

Wow, my life is pretty drab and wretched then, because I own none of them.
