Hello all,
I'm looking into buying a new laptop. Ironically, where I used to buy laptops in college for "work" but actually used it for gaming, I am now buying a laptop for "gaming" but will likely use it mostly for work. 😛
Anyway, I'm on the road a fair bit and the mx11's form factor appeals to me. I do not need a huge screen as long as the resolution looks crisp. Also, the mx11 R3 features the sandy bridge processor line and runs about $1000-1100, both of which are certainly appealing. I would think my budget would be around $1500 or so, but given that this will be a secondary machine, I don't want to go spend crazy on something that will only get used while on the road.
Thoughts or opinions? Is there a comparable PC that is superior? Is ASUS launching a series of laptops with SB processors close enough that it's worth waiting? Thanks in advance.
