so i can't buy m11x anywhere but online?

hotong 05-04-2010 11:25 AM
I was wondering about the same thing too.. maybe the dell booths around the malls can order it?

!MiKrofT 05-04-2010 02:02 PM
No one stocks m11x. Anywhere you go they'll just end up ordering it in.

CRS 05-04-2010 02:32 PM
This is what pains me the most.

I hate ordering something before I test it out. It just seems like such a HUGE hassle for something that might turn out to be a bust.

And I am not going to get alienware plus I hate small monitors. :lol

That would totally defeat the purpose of me getting this work laptop. I have a friend who has the M11X and it is SWEET. I just can't get over the 11inch monitors. 13.3 is IDEAL.

When do you need it? Acer and Asus are soon releasing their mainstream/multimedia laptops with Intel's mobile Nehalem processors.

LiquidTurbo 05-04-2010 04:56 PM
That Asus looks pretty good. For my next laptop I will definitely consider ASUS/Toshiba. My 6 year old Toshiba still running like new..running Windows 7. The thing is a tank.

I was thinking about this too.

I won't need it till probably late June if even that. I know that the release dates are all messed up cause apparently Intel is holding out on processors till summer so I don't know what is up with that.

Know of anything you heard?

Crappy battery life

What size & portability are you looking for?

I got a thinkpad x201 last week when it was on sale.
Total for the laptop came out to about $950:
- 12.2" screen
- Weight about 3lbs
- i5-540
- 4GB
- 320GB 7200rpm HD
- Finger print reader
- Bluetooth
- 6 cells battery (which should last 5-6 hrs under normal usage, they also have 9 cell battery that should last more than 10 hours)

HP and NVidia both screwed up, yet neither were willing to admit it and recall the laptops even though it affected virtually the entire lineup of HPs at the time (DVs and TXs). If you were out of warranty, you were screwed.

The NVIdia chip would run hot, HP didn't design adequate cooling, and HP switched to "environmentally friendly" solder which has a lower melting point. Plus hibernate/sleep would keep the video chip powered and always hot. All combined it would cause the solder on the video chip would fail after 12-24 months of use. There are a number of fixes online, yet I tried them and none worked long term. Eventually I packed it in and bought my new Dell.

Dell does have a reputation lately of poor quality too, yet their customer service is always top notch.

What about Nvidia and Dell systems?
I have my eye on the Alienware m17x Laptop
Is there clear choice to get dual SLI video card?

Iceman_2K 05-05-2010 05:46 PM
unless you game a whole lot, an Alienware laptop is a waste of money. The Lenovo that someone posted a few posts above is a good choice for the money.

EPP with 30% off over 1500? That definitely was a sweet deal.

actually..35% off no EPP (which means u can still return it if u don't like it...;))
also got the ultrabase for $130 ($200 - 35%)

btw...don't buy HP laptop. My dad and gf both have the DV laptop...and both of them are a PITA

Yes, as discussed before, everyone hates HP.

You know, I was setting you up for that.

any updates CRS? I'm looking at pretty much the same laptop or the UL20, just cause its significantly cheaper but I'm not sure how well I would adapt to a 12".

But I really want to know if there's any stores that carry the ULs in stock so I can take a look at them in person before ordering.

NCIX Richmond has the 15in UL on display but doesn't really look like the 13.3. It sort of does but there are some evident differences.

I am waiting on the release of UL30JT before I make a decision on UL30VT vs. Timeline
