hehe. hope someone will try first then post here

sorry if i'm not contributing yet.
after viewing pictures, going through more than 127 pages of post, and
another 60 plus post in V2,
i have been afflicted by the poison, so now i am like a zombie craving for human flesh, but instead of flesh, i crave for M17x ...

my symptoms of poison:
- going to dell website to configure the M17x often.
- going through Alienware Mothership thread, all the post.
- dreaming in sleep of joining the alien invasion.
- thinking of what FX colour would i use.
- thinking of at least bringing it to starbucks once.

uh oh... the poison spreading even more...

lol lucky ur M1530 got 3 years complete Cover u can claim a new laptop model haha if it breaks.. Not alienware though

I splurged on a Microsoft X-Box controller today for my Alien. Hope its a good investment.......

Starbucks? lol. I have M15x and now i'm too lazy to carry it around, even to university

Getting heavy?

I used to think,

"aiya weight is not an issue, i'll carry it around"

but.. maybe its just me, its okay to carry it around, but not for TOO long.


oh btw, i'm using the Alienware Orion Backpack, its a solid and "not so light" backpack.

wow.. u guys think can i built a M17x as my desktop replacement?
i currently don have any desktop, but suffering abt this problem..
u guys own a desktop?

As for me, I have 3 notebooks and no desktops. I mean, the only 3 computing devices I own personally, not family... So I don't forsee myself getting a desktop but I would get a desktop replacement like a m17x Or a possible newer model from Alienware which is 17" or above.

I feel you can build a M17x as a desktop replacement and I support the idea of being able to carry your desktop around and being more mobile. The only catch is that you will have to invest more to make a notebook a really good desktop replacement. Lets say you want the best GPU with SLI, you have to spend few K more to upgrade the standard single NVidia GTX 260M to either a Double 260M or a Double GTX 280M. And get a good processor and 4-6GB Ram with a good HD and you should be good to go.....

But if you're gonna spend on a M17x, Go all the way....

yea.. thats what im thinking in my mind...
is more portable compare to a gaming desktop 15kg above..

so, u getting all the notebook as replacement because of portable?

As for now, i only want a portable machine, in other words a portable desktop. So yea, AW is the answer for now.

Might wanna get the AW desktop when i start to work in the future.

Yup. Thats the idea. End of the day. The notebook is not comparable to the high end desktop when it comes to performance, but I can live with that knowing I can bring my work around.
Like Screemo said, Maybe in the future, for me... when I settle down.... and buy my own house ..... Who knows? Mindset might change and I might get the desktop instead. But since I'm still mobile and always travelling.... Im sticking to my notebook. But every photographer would need a notebook anyway, So I forsee myself having a mobile system at least in the future as well.....

wow.... AW desktop lagi
nice 1..
btw, u guys think AW is a good replacement?? since u guys using it will know more..
my dream is AW too.. my skul getting 1 AW for my courses lecture for only presentation..

+1

What school??

Same here man! I think I've juz brought my M17x once to uni and dats juz to transfer some files to a friend lol.

oh yea.. u mind thinking same with me... lol

Anyone can recommend me AW laptop ? I need a light one , able to handle high graphic games . thanks alot

wait for m11x.. high end gaming netbook..
weight less than 2kg but 11" only..

Alienware and the word 'Light' never mixes in the same sentence. Well, not until now at least, after the release of the 11" M11x there is now a lighter model to consider.....

QFT yo!

the word light only can be apply to M11x only.
all its other brothers never near that word at all
