Alienware m11xr3 - Is it well supported by bumblebee ?

 

Hi all, 

I plan to change my computer as my HP dm4-1162sf do not play well with
linux (I succeed to use all feature and deactivate cards but poor fglrx
driver performances request me to change...)
I bought this HP with ATI thinking "it's a long time now, ATI cards
should work well under linux" -> totally wrong...

I think about Alienware m11xr3 as it is a little computer with big
performances ;) (and NVidia card)

Does bumblebee works well ? (I mean I never use windows for any tasks at
home... -> does Starcraft 2 will work with bumblebee with good
performances ?)

Does battery suffers using linux (is it the same time under linux as on
Windows (I heard 8 hrs under Windows...) ?)

Is there any other thing I must take care ?

I ask your help as I didn't take a look before buying my HP and do not
want to reproduce the same mistake with this new one...

Thanks for your advices !

BR,
