I have trawled the net looking for comments from people who have owned the m11x, and most of the complaints are with the SU7300 processor not being as powerful as the core2duo all over the place, but then again, someone mentioned that most games are gpu heavy rather that cpu heavy. As for the Mac, i could always get support and upgrades from skunk Rahim. Two folks here at work have the 17" MBP and they endlessly sing praises about them, show me the cool things they can do. @Alvin, I wanted to find out if i can get the m11x via the official Dell channel, and how much damage it'll do to my bank. @Jacob, yes, there are mac parts right in here in kenya; junction, sarit center, yaya, village market etc. But they are usually priced like parts for Subaru :-) A charger/power adapter for a MBP is like 14k.
