RM4207 is around 5% discount of the original price? yeah was hoping there was an option for custom engraving too. but Dell SG do not have the option either.

guess the discount is fixed for now probably until some promo like a month or two away.

btw how many of you went for Cosmic Black and Lunar Silver?

i only managed to squeeze RM180 max.

well it's the States! but still, i wonder does local Malaysia Dell employees eligible for such discount. the last i heard is they're only able to get refurbished systems at a very low price. not sure about new systems.

UPDATE:

payment has been cleared and order is received. tracking of order is possible now!

the weird thing is i never received any email from Dell (used to receive it once your order is confirmed if order online). first time ordering via phone/SA.

was refreshing the order status page with my order number & details since yesterday but to no avail, until 15 minutes ago.

photos doesn't seem to load, bro. ordered Cosmic Black. who's on Lunar Shadow Gray??

Notebookcheck: Mobile Graphics Cards Benchmarks

btw eugene, found any GT335m benchmarks? no luck so far for me.

those specs with:
1 year complete cover: RM38xx (original price RM3999)
3 years complete cover: RM42xx (original price RM4472)

just try to call Dell Sales at 1-800-88-0301 and speak to any SA and nego. it's either cash discounts (not more than 5%) or free gifts (mouse/backpack). that's what i've been told.

IMO, if AW can build the battery into the chasis, they would have made it in such a way that it will be able to withstand heat, frequent charge/discharge and not to worn out so soon.

that's been confirmed? if yes, then it's great! first for AW?

well, it depends. BTO systems normal takes longer time to ship. parts shortages is a common issue faced by Dell. delivery might be delayed due to that.

normally, Dell orders will take min. 8 business days/approx. 2 weeks to ship. sometimes it might take lesser time than that.

you may ask the SA about the delivery time before you place your order anyway. as of now, all M11x orders are taking up to 3 weeks to deliver.

as simple as plugging out the default 7200rpm SATA and place the SSD in. like replacement of normal HDDs.

2011, mate. hopefully. even if it's half the its current price it would have been great.

checking my order status like every hour since noon, when will Dell start building it???

ordered and payment was cleared on wednesday. production should start within this few days!

welcome on board, mate.

btw guys, it seems like there's no more option for Lunar Shadow Grey anymore on the order page, both RM3499 and RM3999 specs. probably demand for silver is too high?

just checked Dell SG and they do not have the option anymore as well. probably affect those in Asia Pacific only. anyway, will that makes the silver one sorta limited edition? should have went for silver!

@eugene:
rubbery-feel cover, similar to M17's. no more fingerprints!

provided that you can wait. 1 month away is looooooooooooong once you see the real M11x in person. *poison* should be mid-March/early-April perhaps?

well said, mate. the point is, get it when you need it.

the silver did looked less glossy, and should be less visible to fingerprints and scratches. more fingerprints on the black but still, it looked less glossy and the others the say, glossy Inspiron and Vostro lineup.

but seriously, rubber surface is just soooooo nice! wished i don't need a laptop that soon.

the color option is still unavailable half an hour ago. lol

why not silver? i am looking to switch my black with silver. anyone?

mine is currently in production. unable to switch anymore. black = fingerprints.

got this from Darkhan of NBR:



great news to those who ordered Cosmic Black.

normally Dell would deliver much earlier than the stated EDD (1 week-1.5 weeks earlier normally). happened to my recent order as well. that is why it's stated as estimated delivery date. March is more like a 'safe' date, instead of promising customers a date in Feb but was unable to fulfill that due to part shortages or other unforeseen circumstances and ended up being screwed.

however, given the fact that CNY is around the corner and the production might not be running in full steam (assuming all units are built in China), units should be delivered in early March. although i do hope i would be able to get my unit by end of Feb (requested for 19th).

some UK/Ireland orders seem to have EDD of 12/13th Feb though, while US ones are getting the early March EDD.
