Nice open mind there. The thread he was referring to gave benchmarks between the differences between basically the same processor upgrade our refresh is giving the m11x. Unfortunately the real world differences are negligible. Like I said earlier, its a nice little upgrade but by no means a big deal for existing owners.

well if the alienware guys be retaining the chassis of the m11x then we will be replacing only mobo

Are there any differences between the current integrated graphics and the integrated graphics on the arrandale chip?

Hey Raven,

do you have any particular link with benchmarks? I'm currently in one of those UL30JT thread on some xxx page where they're talking about cheese... -.-

i7 6XX UM at least "sounds" really good with turbo boost.

I really don't understand Dellienware's view on this, the M15x really is a nice laptop but it's very nichey, I think it's just poorly marketed and lacking an RGB LED display is a critical loss for it.

OTOH, the brand is better represented with the M17x and the "cool" M11x. My guess is that then that the M15x will go away and the refreshed M11x (with hopefully a better chassis structure) will take it's place, with better build construction than the M11x and the performance levels of the M15x.

Maybe it will be an M13x
