Question about
LMN8R

How does the Alienware M11x r3 with Sandy Bridge directly compare to the r2 in game performance and battery life?

Seems like the r3 has been available for a month or two now, but all I've seen are standalone reviews talking only about the r3. I want to know exactly how the r3 compares to the r2 from the same site using the exact same configurations and benchmarks so that it's a consistent comparison.

Alienware M11x r3 (Core i5): www.pcmag.com­/image­_popup­/0,1740,iid­=302056,00.asp

Alienware M11x r2 (Core i7): www.pcmag.com­/image­_popup­/0,1740,iid­=263531,00.asp

The latest (and a Core i5 Sandy Bridge CPU) beats out the Core i7 last gen processor by quite a good margin. Frame rates, even battery is better
