i did call dell and ask bout upgrates b4 , and they said no. But thats b4 i knew about this policy , might go make some trouble soon 

Oh lol!
what was it again?
Yea i forgotten bro. was busy with uni, you know lahh first week. hahaha! very very sorry! 

I will enquire too and bring up the webbie from Alienware stating the customisable option too!!! 

Dell USA is now offering M15x and M17x with Core i5 and Core i7 Arrandale Processor

lolx , they gonna redesign the interior of the m17x ? wonder will they implement the 5870 at the same time 

true , im thinking our m17x can also fit in 5870 , they are using the same socket rite ?

But, Asus would be lighter and abit thinner

Asus has less hardware failure in 3 years too

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!

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

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?

im not sure if these is the right place to ask this. But im definitely getting one aw this month. I just need to know how long does it take from the the day i order til ill get it from dell ? or does anyone here know where i can get a better price other then pc fair ? or any shops in kl that sell it ?

i see. thanks for the info.
i think my last choice would be to order from dell, i was trying to get it for a better price. maybe get it from someone whose is selling it or something.
does lowyat sell alienware ?
i know that pc fair offers a better price but is there any pc fair going on now ?
im leaving overseas in mid february so i have to make a choice soon.
i see a few people posting in the garage area. they are selling it for a better price but it requires deposit and im not really sure about that.
if there's a shop or someone that has stock in hand i would definitely get one!
any suggestions ?

just get it from Dell , i dont think there are any shops around even promoting AW lappies ~

okay. that narrows down my choices to either getting it from dell or from the ppl that are selling it in the garage section. but im curious. why do they offer cheaper prices then from dell, when they are getting it from dell as well. they require deposit though. they get it through connections or is there something i dont know ?

hi , thinking of getting alienware

Hey,

I'm kinda annoyed by my BD-Rom.
Alot of DVDs get stuck in it, and its only able to play...2-3 minutes? and it just stuck. Couldn't remove the disc as there are no emergency eject button, the media buttons couldn't eject the disc as well. The only way to remove it is to restart the laptop.
DOCTERRRR~!!! any solutions?

Nope, wont work. Even by stopping the players process using task manager, it doesnt work. lol.
Argh,nvm, maybe its cuz of the 'jack sparrow' dvd. 

If you're travelling overseas, you can still get from DELL the same way u get it here and have it delivered to your doorstep wherever you are...

The problem is with the disc. Not contents. Already found out. This can happen to whatever disc be it the original ones or the jack sparrow ones.

I saw the links u posted, am lazy to go thru. hahaha

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.

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

Yo doc, what QFT?

same question here 

here u go...a kid like tht gets the monster

haha.. yea.. I know him
but consider cheap what at this price..

Woo rich kid.. anyway.. custom built would be cheaper and outperform it We just lose the premium look i guess?

I know I won't for the next few years. I'll get the bigger notebook before I think of a desktop....

M17x just released its core i7 extreme edition
