Anandtech did a very thorough review of the first version vs the new version as well.

If I was in Europe, I'd also look at the Acer 3820TG. Bigger screen, comparable graphics and battery life, lighter.

That m11x is pretty sweet, even without the i5/i7 upgrade. And then it'll cost you only 700 euro's, which isn't absurdly expensive. Still, the i5 upgrade seems like a must if you want to be ready for the future. If you plan to recycle it within two years: you can play any current game on (at least) mid settings. And it's alienware (read: fucking awesome), drool. But this really is only interesting for people that play first person shooters (or flight sims), because there's no real reason for such a graphics card if you play TBS games. If you want a laptop to play civ5, I wouldn't buy this one.

There's a varient of the 3820TG with the ATI HD 5650, which is almost identical or a bit better than the GT335M.
