Just a thread where 11z owners can post their pictures of their shiny new toys for all of us to see. Post away!

I gotta say I'm spending a lot more time on my 11z than my xps.

Hmm. That looks pretty nice

Very nice, weedmonk! Is that an XPS 13" or 12"? Looks like a 12" to me. Good comparison.

Is that the WWAN mini PCIe slot on the far right?

Are there antennas for it? And how about the SIM card slot on the battery bay?

My HD is 0.1 less than yours (5.5) but so is my CPU(2.8). I imagine the HD is slower because yours is an SSD. The CPU is probably slower because I have less RAM, slower RAM timings, or the SSD hard drive helps. Either way, my gaming graphics is only at a 3.5 vs your 4.9! I wonder if that's because of the 4GB of RAM. I imagine the onboard graphics shares the RAM with the CPU. Could be that it allocated more for it? Anyone have any ideas why mine is so much lower?

As I stated, I got my graphics drivers off intels website instead of Windows Update. This might have something to do with it but since mine are a newer driver, I highly doubt it. Anyone with Win 7 64-bit post what theirs got?

----EDIT-----
Can't be slower RAM timings. Mine are 6-6-6-18 @ 800mhz too. That's what the stock stick is. I am planning on throwing a lower latency one in there. Still 2GB but lower latencies should help. It's less than $30 on newegg.

Yeah its the XPS m1210. It weighs like a tank compared to 11z though.

@Minitwelve
Great pics. Even though it look like a PITA installing its nice to know this lil beast can go up to 4gigs. The celeron is 64bit too I noticed. It's just so dang expensive especially ddr3.

The CPU is mounted on a separate board? This could lead to upgrades down the road.

Sold my Mini 9 for a larger netbook, one that's easier on my wrists and hands. Current Machine: 2010 MacBook Pro 13", 2.4 GHz C2D, 4GB RAM, Win7 Pro x64/OS X 10.6.3 And I play with my girlfriend's Mini 10v ^_^. Interested in using MATLAB on the Mini 10v? Check out my benchmarks!
