This is a new Alienware V2 Thread. The first one was overloaded and we have to start a new one sooner or later. This is for discussion about the laptop itself and no price discussion to keep it from going off topic.

so when will the ufo arrive?

Just got back from PC Fair guys, but currently chilling with friends at Curve.

There is a fully equipped ALIENWARE Booth. Even with Cosplay people. Darth Maul, a Klingon, HellBoy and another lightsaber totting alien.

Alienware brought in the full range excluding the aurora series. There were 2 DESKTOPs which is the AREA 51 and the AREA 51 ALX. There were also around 10 M17x there for people to play with but only 1 M15x. Check the price discussion thread on the great deal you can only get in this pc-fair.
Also a small gaming league and a photography contest going on which earns you prizes.... It was a great display and I felt like a lil boy so excited there.

I'll post the pics when I get home.....

brother, why using old and expensive tech when latest and cheaper technology is available?
yes, i am talking about your planned GPU

pictures gonna tell the story for us

Pretty dissapointed they did not bring in the alienware backpack. Was planning to get it since my15x could not fit the 17" targus backpack dell gave me for free.

oh its u from the alienware booth isit? the salesguy told me it will take around 2 or 3 weeks. sigh..


where is the price discussion thread?

@@ whole range of alienware ? Thats first time in pc fair for me , gonna go 2morow !!!

well come to visit me in the booth 110, im selling them... hehe can get u a better deal thou.. =D

wats ur name bro? so can find u..hehe..

yea man, can fit 17" but not the M15x. Fyi, the M15x is kinda oversized.

what you're selling?

Added on December 5, 2009, 3:20 am4gb and 6gb or RAM, you won't notice any major differences, at least in terms of an average user or gamer. 4gb base RAM is enough, unless you're into heavy video editing or stuffs like that.

Okie... finally uploaded the pics. Here goes

First thing you'll encounter are the 4 cosplay models set out to convince you to get a unit




Then it hits you. THE ALIENS HAVE LANDED IN MALAYSIA OFFICIALLY


The first thing right in the front row.... ALIENWARE AREA-51 ALX


And right behind it... the ALIENWARE ARE-51


These vents gives you the impression that the beast is breathing


Then we go onto the notebooks. They brought in around 10 units of the ALIENWARE M17x for display and for customers to play around with


But there was only 1 M15x there....


To round it up, the complete set of Alienware Accessories

Hey guys, what do you think? DAv2 or Alienware TactX Mouse? I'd've gone with DA but the AW's cheaper at PC fair...

i dunno bout u la , but the mouse design for AW doesnt suiit me =/ but it may for u , ahaha

haha yeah, that's why...Razer's tailored for comfort, with the smooth rubber coating i don't think the AW has, but some ppl will reason that since i'm getting AW laptop, i might as well get AW peripherals. But for keyboard also i think that X6 is better, and wow, honestly, the headphones are at a really good price now, but i've heard complaints + i'm getting siberia

So i guess, it's a no to AW peripherals for me then.

Thanks for the correction bro. I went inside the tent, but it was quite dark in there and I guess I must have missed the m15x....

You mean getting it seperately? I think it should be available when you call DELL SALES? I got mine together with the Notebook in a package.. Jutts out a bit at the bottom.

I couldn't agree more. Yesterday there were about 10 units sold as of 7pm most of them being the m15x.

I was thinking about the same thing of matching it all, but then I'd wish I had extra cash for a razer like a mamba...

Cool!I will go pc fair tmrw with my frenss...hehe...anyway i am using my aw nw...will upload pics on tmrw nite...tq hehe

pllx: I'm looking at DAv2 too. Currently been using the v1 for about 2 years, still works great.

hey guys, i read in our thread, was it this or the price discussion thread?

Someone said the M15x got 3 ram slots. Is it true?
I ran CPU-Z and it shows that there are only 2 slots.

IIRC The salesperson was the one who told me that it was something like 3x2...
But then again I only know of 2 slots as well.
The only thing I can think off is that its a 2gb + 4gb which should be the case and not the 2gb+2gb+2gb...

3gb module? lol interesting.
if it's 2gb + 4gb, its MUCH MOREEEE interesting.

oic...

ooo...mayb tat true...

the headset rm176? i wanna get one... help~

lol...go urself lo...

i cant go.. im at kch now... walao... only rm176... and i believe the quality is same wif the rm400 steelseries headset.. worth buying man! help T.T

bout pricing dn spam here go price discussion there...i think i will get the keyboard n mouse....headset dn wan

why don wan headset?

cz I feel hot when wearing headset...

Here's a picture of the bags that I 'experimented' for the M15x.


The Max Air is what I used for my old HP Pavilion, and trust me, you won't wanna put ur alienware in it.



Conclusion?

Very packed and it will fit Alienware + a lil peripherals + power brick just nice. If you don't plan to carry books (going to college) with it, then I just the Razer bag is sufficient. The M15x needs a bag that can fit preferably 17" laptops and above due to its thickness and size.

Nice razer bag... A shoulder version is it? I was wondering, is it comfortable to wear it across your chest? And do u feel heavy wearing it with the m15x inside? I'm considering to get thi bag as well since my free 17" targus couldn't fit my beast...

This post has been edited by zad78: Dec 5 2009, 08:49 PM

I don't know why DELL gave you a Targus that didn't fit the M15x? Damn, they don't think ar? Ape lah!!!!
They should make bags that fit these behemoths especially when they're selling them.
Anyways, notebooks and deskstop replacements are getting bigger now.
Yesterday I saw the ASUS W90 which was 18.4" wide screen. I wonder if they have the appropriate bag for it?????

Oh and Screemo, NICE RAZER bag.
Im still so new to this brand I feel I have been oblivious to all these...
When I saw the THX RAZER MAKO, I thought it was another brand like Sonic Gear but with a nice oval circular design.

Yea, its shoulder edition. Well I didn't really walk around with it yet. Will be travelling out of town with it next week. And the week after. Let's see by then. DO read my comments and think twice before getting this bag. It looks cool, but it fits the M15x just nice.

Actually they DO sell the bag, but not Dell Malaysia.
Alienware Orion should have no problem handling the Alienware Lineups, not the desktops!!

Well 'they' thought it could fit since its the biggest bag they have for targus. Well, it kinda fit but you have to get somebody to pull the laptop out for you hahaha.

Oh... haha... k ... I get the picture. Ngam ngam fit that means....

eh one question to all sifus here, the 260M GTX in m15x is mxm 3.0 right? can we actually replace it if we wish to?

Yup...thats the other word for it....hmmmm what other bags that could fit this laptop by the way...excluding the aw orion coz its bloody expensive...i was wondering around RM200 price range?

So far I ask SALES and the Supervisor of the DELL Booth which is a lady, both said NO. But thats for the moment. Im hopefully for a future upgrade made possible for a GTX 280M

just kidding bro.

I'm afraid not. The replaceable gc is only in the m17x edition since they have specific slot for the gpu

Added on December 5, 2009, 9:11 pmHoho nice...and very cost efficient as well and recyclable too i might add.

This post has been edited by zad78: Dec 5 2009, 09:11 PM

so m15x doesnt hav a specific slot ? swt...

and apparently there might be a problem with m15x being throttled by the insufficient power supply similar to the XPS studio 16.

http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=439546

Hopefully Dell will get it fixed soon XD.

i did read somewhere its MXM2.1.
but no worries, better hope Dell will release GTX280M is future.
then you can upgrade your GPU, with full stability.

so it is possible for us to upgrade our gpu in future if they allow us? i thought u cant change a notebook gpu...

thx for sharing the pc fair pictures!
wanna ask, hows the performance of AW headphone? is it good compare to razor headphone?

from my experience la and after touching AW products , ill say u do better with razer series or other gaming series u prefer. U guys might prefer diff of course , but i dont deny , the AW kb is sleek

blackmarket : u cant compare AW headset with Razer barracuda or megadolon ... c d price diff ? haha

come to the booth 110 tomolo, last day for u to get great offers for ur AW lappie or desktop...=D
