In order to maintain battery life like the M11X a refresh or any laptop would need the ULV core ix processors. These are clocked at like 1 ghz, they are only going to see a sub-20% performance gain over a stock SU7300, the SU7300 can be OCed for more than a 20% performance gain. That means equal performance.

You can't compare a OC'd CPU with a non-OC'd CPU, that's cheating! The ULV i7-640UM turbos to 2.26GHz in addition to having hyper-threading and an extra 1MB cache over the SU7300. So for people who don't overclock, stock vs stock, a ULV i7 offers nearly a 50% power increase.

For people who do overclock their SU7300, the performance gain won't be as much, but it definitely won't be equal. It's going to offer a 15-20% power increase minimum, and just that 20% extra will go a hell of a long way making CPU-dependant games more playable.

Anyway, there's been no definitive benchmarks for the new ULV Core iX CPU's so there's really no point in comparing them at the moment. We know there will be a power increase, we just don't know how much.

@fury

I have a 1201n and unless you upgrade to Windows 7 64bit and at least 4gb ram min you aren't overclocking that machine to 2ghz!

Has there been any more reviews since the Hardware Heaven?

No, just more videos showing the same thing and a lot of speculation. Hopefully NBR will get a review model.

OH OH OH A REAL RELIVANT QUESTION!!!!!! QUICK SOMEONE CHANGE THE SUBJECT!!!


seriously guys, can we drop the cpu talk for now... its giving me a headache. there was a review posted like an hour ago, it should be about 50 pages back by now

[CallsignHUSKER]

It looks like there are more zones since there are 5 zones shown on the top right but only 4 zone options down at the bottom.

Man we should be able to nail this down, the people from hardware heaven should've gone into move detail on this...

I Think the M11x has been designed for people like me

I am a student in university, i travel from home to university and stay at my appartement during the week and go home the weekend where I have a nice P2370H Screen to play Games.

So during the week i can play on my M11x and during the weekend I can connect it to my HD Screen and enjoy games and films

Why Alienware : Design, build quality, AlienFX, ... !

[Freeride600]

let's just say they do put an i5 or i7 ULV in the m11x... what's that gonna do to the price...?!?
