I'm going to have to go with Puddle on this one. Coming from someone who owns a 15.4inch and a 12inch laptop. the notion that these larger ones are portable is a joke. The poor battery life, size and heating is reason enough to never get one above 12 inches.
A laptop's primary mission is not to play games, but to be a portable PC. Most people spend the majority of their pc time surfing the web, listening to music, and using office. Things that don't require major power. The MX11 can accomplish all of this with great size and economy while also being able to do moderate gaming. I think it's one of the bets laptop deals around right now. No laptop is as good as an equally priced desktop in raw power, we know this. To make a laptop comparable to a middle of the road gaming desktop forces you to sacrifice everything that makes it a laptop and to me that is unacceptable. If you want a good gaming rig that can max the best games then get a desktop. If you want a laptop that can handle day to day stuff and can then play counter strike at the cafe every now and then, get the MX11.
