Base price seems attractive but once you start adding stuff to it, gets pretty pricey.

4.5lbs is way too heavy

and its such a rip off in HK... they are asking for $13999 for it, even tho its optioned out. but buying from Dell USA for the exact same spec would cost around 8k HKD

Agreed, but you only really need to get the CPU upgrade from Dell. Everything else is cheaper to upgrade yourself.

The only issue is that it looks like a ricer.

I just ordered one as well..

- Core 2 Duo SU7300 1.3GHz (can be overclocked to 1.7GHz in BIOS)
- 4GB Dual Channel DDR3 at 800MHz
- 11.6" WideHD 1366x768 (720p) WLED

The Bluetooth option is not in the Canadian website, request them to add Bluetooth to your setup by giving them a call or talk to a representative from the Chat window..

the specs are very impressive for the sony, I won't be surprised if that model is close to 3000 USD

true HD on a 13.1" screen, and 4x SSD in RAID 0, all in a package that weight 3.1 lbs
only thing missing is a bluray drive.

that processor just leaves way more to be desired for the price...

hopefully theres an option to upgrade the graphics, GT330M is mid-end at best, seems out of the place with the rest of the crazy specs

I think the purpose of M11x is not to be the fastest, most powerful gaming laptop.. but one that is the size of a netbook, with Class 2 discreet videocard that has enough power to run most/all current games at high resolution with high (not max) details with good fps..

all this.. with an affordable price of under $1000..

I'm sure there are smaller, lighter, better looking laptops out there.. but pricewise.. for 11.6".. there's not much available in the market right now.

I still use my M1210 to play games, you get used to the screen size.

What pisses me off is how we are at par and still gotta pay more than the usd pricing.
