The editors didn't like
The M11x still has a chunky chassis

The lack of an optical drive isn't a dealbreaker
But can be frustrating when installing games

Final Words & Conclusion Alright you guys, this review is coming from a desktop component review website, I must admit -- we are still looking and seeking a good format for our laptop reviews. It is a new thing for us but with gaming desktops and gamin...
Amazingly fast for its size, easy-to-use (flat and lit) keyboard, well textured touch-pad, web camera, nice long battery life (with proper settings), quiet and cool
No internal CD/DVD drive and glare that makes it impossible to game in a well-lit area
Way cool customizable backlit keyboard, Massive RAM allowable, 1GB hybrid graphics, Easy overclock from 1.3GHz to 1.7GHz, Battery is not removable, Great battery even when playing games, Only 11 inches for max portability,
Major lags when doing easy stuff, Half of one side is blank, No DVD drive, Excessively glossy screen, SD cards stick out when their inserted
