Our good friends at Cyberlink kindly supplied the software for our Bluray and conversion tests.
Cyberlink PowerDVD 10 is one of the finest solutions for the Blu-Ray experience on Windows and we found this software to work perfectly with this chipset. We tested with the Bluray Disc of Avatar, one of our favourite sci-fi films in recent years.
The M11x scales exceptionally well, outperforming the Core i5 solutions in the other machines, and falling a few percent behind the M17x R3. The Nvidia 540M is showing to be a really good discrete solution for media playback.
