I was thinking about getting this laptop to run FSX I use a lot of addons like FS Dreamteam and PMDG products will I be able to get at least 30 fps while running all of that on this? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834230142

Do you think the M17x will be good enough for FSX with all of the addons?

you can customize it however you want to/ best to call and tell them what you want to spend and do with it. My wife is a graphic designer and uses the regular M17 with dual monitors. She had to get that one because the 1 program she uses (adobe illustrator) is too big for the 450GB hard drive I have now with 8GB Ram (her old computer)

Is there a major deciding factor in a laptop over a desktop? With a desktop for that sort of money any sort of performance issues with FSX would be few and far between.
