Grey is dull. Black is normal. If I can chose, I'd chose banana leaf green or florescence.

m17x rare breed? now its really like alien....

and no~ he didnt operate as much as yours...

Bro, Nice setup!
BOSE Companion and a huge LCD paired with the M15x is great

As for colours, I think NEBULA RED in US Have to add an extra few bucks. Anyway, I like RED and BLACK but if there were a Dark Blue, I'll take it as well.... next time they'll come with chrome of something... LOL..... like the ALIENHEAD colour...

Chrome is way to messy, with fingerprints all over it. hahaha.
I'll go for WHITE. lol

haha thanks man.. its a nice setup.. just that i dun have nice table! hhahaha but sadly the sound SUCKS BIG TIME from the laptop sound card... totally cannot pakai 1.. now looking for an external sond card.. to buy asus u1 sound card or go for creative x-fi 5.1 external?? any suggestions guys?

Whut u mean the sound sucks? The Alian'es built in? Well, for me, even if it was good I will be using external anyway. And the BOSE I heard lotsa good reviews about but I ended up getting the H.K due to its design and sound clarity....
No idea regarding external sound card. How u gonna use it? With the Alien?

yes the Alien's build in sound card suxor!! lack of clarity, lack of bass, cant tune any shyte. i feel like dying after convert from my pc Xfi Fatality sound card to the build in alienware 1.lol.. how u live with? somemore hooked up to your HK wasted la or u already have a external usb sound card? i plan to get this http://asia.creative.com/products/product....t=17751&listby=

the bose clarity is good too, bass is overkill for my room! looks tiny but boom till my ceiling shake! I tested HK but i don't like the sound over bose c3.. lack of something tho. i think lack of midrange.. haha but design wise of cos HK nicer la cos its build for MAC ma..

The HK doesn't focus on BASS thats for sure, Clarity is there, but the lower tones can't fight with a BOSE. But you may more than twice the price for a Companion. And yes, a small box like that Packs a Punch. The Companions is also Louder...... it can fit a hall, unlike the HK which was designed for smaller spaces. I connect the HK onto the Alien for gaming. With RE5 it sounds good. Havent used the Alien for music at all. Not a single Music file inside, just movies and games. I'll try a few songs LIVE Concert ones and studio recorded ones to understand your plight better....

GUYS! You really need to call DELL regarding on the ENTER key issue. Dell told me is not an known issue yet here in M'sia, so they won't put this at high priority to solve this problem.

Bose i bought around rm1160.. the HK is around RM800-900+ right if i not mistaken hehe.. its not a really huge gap.. yes u should try it with music, u might not hear any difference maybe if have not experience a good pci soundcard hook up with your speaker before, but once u downgrade from 3rd party sound card to AW build in sound card, really can vomit blood ! haha

really...i feel tht the m17x speakers is effing loud. super super loud for a notebook.

changing the mobo becoz of the enter key is not going to help. the enter key on this laptop is actually mapped to num enter on the number keypad (which is not present on this laptop) this apparently is a known problem with Dell aware of it.

Yep. No experiencce when it comes to high end or 3rd party Music cards. I have been playing my music via a SONY MP3 Player or my other notebook so with the equalizer tweaked I have thus far enjoyed the experience of using it. But I am not in a position to say that it can't get better, cos I have not experienced good audio like you suggested...

Damn, this does not affect the M17x right? Cos you guys have the full size keyboard. ... Hmmm..... Should all M15x users call DELL and report this issue? The more complaints the more urgency for them to act on it!!!!


By the way guys.... just wanted to take this opportunity to wish you guys an early

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!



P:S Oh and if possible, can everyone who got their units in Malaysia check the delivery BOX which enclosed the ALIENWARE BOX? The one which came with the shipment the all black in colour box with NO logo outside. There are 3 stickers at the side, 1 INTEL sticker, 1 Small White sticker with the service tag number on the top and the MADE IN CHINA at the bottom, and 1 bigger sticker with your Delivery Name and address. Can you check the BIG Sticker with your name and address and is it written at the top most, DELL Inc. Penang Malaysia?

Im just wondering if our units came straight from China to our doorstep? Or did it come to Penang first and Penang repacked it to this black box and ship to us?
