guys, Is there any chance or any news that Asus will make a ROG 11inch gaming netbook as an alternative to the alienware m11x netbook which has been discontinued recently, Clevo recently introduced the w110er gaming netbook, but i prefer if asus makes one based on the design of the g55 and g75, they got the awesome dual back cooling systems and affordable prices, now that the 22nm ivy bridge cpu and the nvidia's 28nm kepler gpu is there, shouldnt it be easy to make one?

I don't think that ASUS is going to make one, as the market for 11-inch gaming computers is likely not very high. The heat generated by the ivy bridge is well within reason, but the heat even from a good Kepler card is still pretty high. ASUS is likely to have better sales with a 13-inch notebook like their U36 series. It is a little larger, so the heat dissipation is much better, and the 520M is a decent video card.

The dual fan cooling system is what causes the ROG G55/G75 systems to be 2 inches thick. I doubt anyone in the market for an 11-inch system will want something 2 inches thick. The m11x, from what I understand, got pretty warm--and loud!--under full load, leading to less than ideal gaming experience.

Still, I hope they will. I doubt that there is enough of a market for two vendors to make such a specialized product. A G15 with ULV CPU and GT640M would be sweet.
I am disturbed because I cannot break my system...found out there were others trying to cope! We have a support group on here, if your system will not break, please join!
