My comments is going to go against everybody's feel about the machine. Suffice to say, I went to an 11.6 and never looked back since. I know plenty of people think that 11.6 is too small, but you have to try gaming on it and you will realize the screenis actually quite perfect (for the distance of your face to screen). 11.6 now runs on 1366 X 768 and your games will be just beautiful with the kind of size and resolution. There aare some YouTube videoas doing actual gameplay of BF3, etc on an 11.6 and such specs and you can see for yourself the performance - it is very playable and the size is right.It's not for everyone, granted yes you can get better machines for a fraction. But I'm a mobile person, not extensive, but I move around. And I would like to know I can game when I'm over at my relatives, when I'm hanging at some cafe or at some late nights in the hotel room on my working trip (BTW it's small enough for you to even game on the plane's seat tray, with some mouse space to boot as well). I normally do my Civ V when I'm flying short distances (couple of hours). If you're watching movie, great size on the plane tray as well without being too intrusive.It's a great machine if it fits your profile of a mobile gamer. Won't get you super specs but then again, as hardcore a gamer I am, I'm not that hardcore looking for constant >70fps fluid graphics, etc. Medium high settings is ok for me. My machine is 2 years old and still takes everything thrown at it pretty well on those settings.It is a great machine if you're willing to give and take. Expensive, not as powerful, gets hot - but it let's you play on the go, and I need that. Some people say being hardcore means getting all the powerful specs and all. My version of hardcore is i need to game anywhere and anytime i want. :)
