Asus has less hardware failure in 3 years too

they will. but for us, finding that GPU is one hell of the job. still not discussing about its price, yet.

hopefully Dell Malaysia will change their policy and able to provide upgrading service.

all high end GPU will have MXM 3.0b. so i guess its the same

and how good it their cooling system? possible to beat AW?

source please.

I'm with you Doc, about the AW cooling system and Asus has less failure.

Proof pls!

And I doubt that Asus have better cooling system than us!

professionally speaking, AW cooling system is excellence indeed. my GPU never touched 80 under heavy stress, ever.

eventhough some company claimed that they are slightly better than us, we still have advantage in term of physical.

and about system failure, it more about luck. cant elaborate more about that.

mine has been up and running well since day 1. fingers crossed and yes, i'm pretty much happy with my alien! lol

same as me.. keeping fingers crossed as i only have 1 year warranty for my laptop!! regretted for not purchasing 3 years instead

you can extend your warranty anytime you like bro

Morning peeps...
As for reliability issues, I think its just me with the serious issue and one more person. The rest seems to be having superb running systems and none reported from the M17x. So I agree that its just few of us with issues and the majority are fine which mirrors what other brands perform when it comes to reliability....

really? at a higher price compare to the package 1 or wat? for example, when i choose my pakage comes with 1 year warranty, to get 3 years i need to add rm400+.
so now i just need to top up the remaining 400+ or more?

Alienware M17x i5 & i7 will be available in Malaysia in next 2 weeks. Any idea with the "throttling issue" are resolved?

35W TDP lets hope not.. Although some forumers in here doesnt get Throttle on their M15x with Core i7 720QM/820QM:)

u must have missed out my post lolx. My m17x have alot prob = =

well its a bit expensive than that....you can just go to dell website and click extend your warranty, type your service code no. and choose the warranty that you like e.g for 1 year complete cover they charge you RM480!!!! WALAO WEEEHHHHH......

it will definitely be more expensive if u purchase the add-on warranty compare to the time when u buy ur laptop.

Never had that on my 820QM Proc...


Hey bro. Yeah, my bad... forgot tht yours is a M17x. I kept thinking M15x.....

is the throttling issues gave an impact on gameplay or is it just restricted to benchmarking only?.....coz so far i haven't encountered any low fps issues playing heavy 3d games.....

your game will stutter.. after awhile on load/gaming..

Only some ppl has this problem.. You can head over at Notebookforum Alienware section to find out more..

Laptop Failure Rates After 3 years

Its on our very own main page

Well, alienware is not included in that chart, so can't say ASUS is more durable compared to alienware

how about a asus G71gx vs alienware M17x ??

maybe dell should offer 4 years warranty from now on
