I've owned several MBP's since 2007, but this one is by far the best because work paid for it. It's the i5 2.4GHz model with the Hi-Res glossy screen. I ordered it Thursday. At the time, the HR screens were listed as backordered for 7-10 days so I chose the standard 1400x900. Friday morning, I checked MacMall's site for the tracking number and then looked at the MBP page. The HR listing had changed to "ships the same day." I called MM and got them to switch my order to one with the HR screen before mine shipped. It was delivered Saturday and I've been playing with it ever since. :)

Hi-Res wonderfulness!!

I have the say, the MBP's are great looking laptops. If not for my dell, I should have purchased one which was at the time the same price.

the resolution on yours is awesome, 1680x1050 is so nice!
 
All the pics are great! I'm really surprised at how many of you leave the stickers on your laptop... (Intel Inside!, etc.)
 
My Asus G60JX. It was working well until the famous audio port died. I can still get sound through headphones but, not onboard speakers.

Not something that would be considered high end around here, but more than good enough for the games I play (Mostly Source games, GTA IV, Minecraft).

I honestly think those are pretty sweet little machines for the price, with only one major negative (in my opinion): that damned horrendous glossy screen. :)

But, if it gets your mind off where you're at and why you're there, that's what matters I would guess.

Thanks for your service, and keep safe.

I think it's great. I run around with an Acer as well for work stuff.

Update: My 17 yr old niece just asked me for the laptop and I gave it her.

^^^ That old Dell (Inspiron 8200?) brings back some memories. I still think my 8200 had one of best LCDs (1600x1200) I've ever seen on a laptop. :)
 
check the pic, it's a 4100 ;)
I'd LOVE to have a higher rez screen then the "blah" 1024x768 screen that it has. Then again it's just my toss around laptop that I don't care THAT much about :p

ALL m11x's have this issue. Dell is offering a fix, basically they'll send a tach to your house to replace the entire screen assembly for free, even if it's out of warranty.

Just had it done. Talk about easy. The tech was a really nice guy, and clearly competent. Took all of ~20 minutes.
 
Behold, my Sager np7280/Clevo x7200 (aka: the most powerful laptop on the planet).

Bask in its glory... I'll allow it :)

A kid down the hall has one of these monsters. He's pretty scrawny (engineering schools...) and jokes he had to do a week of intense weight training to handle his laptop.

5.5 kg :X whoa!

My (newish) XPS 1640. Refurb replacement for my refurb m1530 which was nothing but trouble. (Backstory: battery bad out of box, replacement battery was wrong, 8-series NVIDIA GPU of death, hard drive failure #1, hard drive failure #2 less than two months later, massive overheating to the point of CPU idle @ 80C). This was all within ten months I owned it.

Despite all the problems with the 1640, it's pretty nice as a free upgrade once the throttling and inadequate power (90w does not cut it) were taken care of. ThrottleStop is awesome.

Core 2 Duo 2.53GHz (T9400, 6MB cache w/turbo, yes it can be run with both cores @ 2.66 for extended periods), 4GB DDR3-1067 (could use more), ATI Radeon 3670 512MB, 500GB 5.4k hard drive, 1920x1080 RGBLED screen, wireless-N card, Blu-Ray drive and 2MP webcam. At least a few of those aren't default items :D Oh, and a backlit keyboard. I have to say that for a laptop, the sound is pretty good. It got better when I realized the subwoofer wasn't being used without IDT audio drivers. Yes it's tiny, but for what it is, it's impressive.

Runs Borderlands with most of the eye candy @ native, runs Starcraft II on High at native, and in general is more capable than I expected. Games don't even look bad if I have to turn the resolution down, either. I'm sure Crysis (2) would knee it in the crotch, but that's not something I even play so it doesn't matter. I haven't run it on battery too much, but BatteryBar thinks it'll go for 1.5 hours with music blasting and mega web-surfing. Not bad for a heavy DTR.

My new m11x :p very happy with the purchase.

Not to alarm you, but i purchased an M11X about a year ago, and they had some sort of announcement about the hidge on the screen. I can 100% confirm that the screen hidge is absolute junk. My screen barely closes, and when it does, i need to push it down for the hidge to pop back into place. I don't feel like i was rough on the laptop, always took care of it, if you recently purchased they may have fixed the problem but its something you should be aware of. Im already going to buy a different laptop, i will never purchase alienware/dell < 1500$ product ever again, too cheap of construction.
 
I read on NotebookReview that the m11x R1 has the problem, some R2s have it and the issue was resolved in the third release.
 
Thats good then, hope the m11x will be much more fullfilling to you than it was to me! Personally, just ordered the ASUS G53JW, looks very promising, with to my newly developed standards an indestructable hidge :).
