I would like to say: Not only is this the most powerful 11" gaming notebook, it is the only "powerful" 11" gaming notebook.
Biggest problem is the hinges. Having to replace them every 4-5 months is a pretty terrible design flaw.
Call me weird, but I don't really see the point of this machine - and it seems like the flipside product to the >10lb DTR's which don't provide anywhere near the power of a leading-edge desktop, but cost more and are not actually portable in the meaningful sense of the word - both products for people who can't work out what they should actually be buying so hedge their bets for the worst compromise.
A boat-anchor (2Kgs!) netbook with a CPU/GPU combo that you can't play the latest games on (with any decent degree at least), that costs as much as machines like the Envy 14 (which offers more CPU/GPU grunt) and offers less than the ekeing runtime of CULV's with the same screen weighing a third less.
Perhaps it's one of those things I have to buy to understand... although I doubt it.

The m11x is actually the bathroom computer. So the 11" is actually working out quite well in the way a 14.5" never would. Also, the Envy 14" was freaking awesome until they took away the high res display. Now I don't give a crap about it. If they were able to bring back the display I would highly consider purchasing it.
And before you judge, if you haven't put a netbook in your bathroom yet, you have no idea what you are missing. It's like having an infinite amount of interactive full motion magazines of whatever topic you would want. Or if you want to kill zombies at max settings and 60fps instead, you can do that too. Over buying? Perhaps. But I also have milk jug sized outdoor speakers installed next to my shower for playing music. I don't regret those for one second either.
