I'll be using it away from home for about 9 hours, then I'll be at home for maybe another 5-6 hours in the whole day.

Is there a way I can compare the performance of WoW on the m11x and U45 through some numbers or something? That's all I really need to make my final decision.

And if I can't do that, does anyone know what's the difference between the Nvidia Geforce 335M and Geforce 310M?

Here are the details on the two laptops I am considering... what would you pick and why? I've already narrowed down to these, I'm just really concerned about graphical performance versus each other, especially in watching movies, and playing games(WoW). (The m11x doesn't have a disc drive, and my old laptop's disc drive never worked, so I grew out of the need to have a disc drive. I plan to purchase an external one if I need to, to install games and make my recovery disc). I have also seen the m11x in person, and the screen size doesn't seem to be a problem to me. I haven't seen the U45 so that's also what's stopping me.

Asus U43jc (Bamboo Edition)
-IntelŽ Core™ i5 Processor 520M/450M : 2.4 GHz - 2.26 GHz, with Turbo Boost up to 2.93/2.66 GHz;
-DDR3 1066 MHz SDRAM, 2 x SODIMM socket for expansion up to 4GB SDRAM
-14" 16:9 HD (1366x768) LED backlit
-320GB,5400rpm
-NVIDIAŽ GeForceŽ 310M, with 1GB DDR3 VRAM & Intel GMA HD (Support NVIDIA Optimus Technology)
-34.4 x 24.1 x 2.20~3.18 cm (W x D x H)
-2.14 kg (with 6 cell battery)
-2.0MP Web Cam
-Disc Drive


Alienware m11x
-IntelŽ Core™ i5 520UM (3M Cache, 1.066 GHZ with 1.866 GHz Max Turbo Frequency) - Overclockable
-4GB Dual Channel DDR3 at 800MHz
-11.6-inch WideHD 1366x768 (720p) WLED
-250GB SATAII 7,200RPM
-1GB NVIDIAŽ GeForceŽ GT 335M (Support NVIDIA Optimus Technology)
-1.3MP Web Cam
-Bluetooth
-4lbs
-No Disc Drive




I just really wanna know how much of a level in performance difference will I expect from the U45 over the m11x.
