I have a 17 inch laptop that i got about a year and a half ago but its a pain to haul around. I was looking at the xm11 but I am unsure about the screen size and if the graphics card can run game like BF3. I would like reviews n the computer but anything is fine.

I am also wondering if the 15 inch may be better

The xm11 actually has a better graphics card from what I know so it would be a better idea, especially since you want something more slim.

I also own a 17' inch laptop and I agree they are a pain to carry around.

Because you are wanting something that is more portable I would recommend the xm11. It weighs under 4lbs and is very powerful for its size.

If you are going to look at this laptop I would suggest the quad core i7 3630QM over the i5. The i7 will be much more powerful. I would also suggest a solid state drive

The xm11's 650m gpu will perform very well on the laptop's native resolution.

So if your main concern is portability, the xm11 is definitely the best laptop to get.

Good luck!
