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?

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.

Hopefully Dell will get it fixed soon XD.

I bought the m15x yesterday jor, but can you help me upgrade the deal hahahaha
and I didnt get the tshirt

Like you know, PSSSS... secretly upgrade my m15x hahaha jk

Thought of going today to ugut them for the t-shirt also but couldnt be bothered LoL.

BTW guys, just curious if the belkin messenger bag fits the laptop nicely? If not I am considering to get Orion backpack.

According to the spec given, m15x uses approximately 170~180 W but the give adapter is only 150W.

However, I hope a new bios will help solving the problem

Well Dell has taken notice of this problem and trying to resolve it right now, m17x adapter is 250W or 200W?
People at notebook review has tried a 210W adapter but it doesnt seem to solve the problem, therefore its highly likely that a well tweaked bios would solve the problem.

Well worst come to worst, the labelled power requirements were wrong and a 250W adapter is needed XD.

This problem has occured before for XPS studio 16, Dell has replaced the adapters and the problem was fixed.

Try having your comp full load, then you will see the decrease in performance.

P95 ( Proc ) + Furmark ( GC ) test
monitor the clock freq using GPU-Z & T-monitor

And apparently under full load while lowering the brightness helps in increasing the performance. insufficient power/ bad bios settings seems to be source of throttling issue right now.

However, none of the games out there will really push your system up to full load unless you do hardcore CAD.

Approximate time on arrival of our machines?

Its more likely that they will solve it through BIOS update.

minimum 2 hours cooldown after having it on for 3 days is recommended for all laptops.

Apparently my unit is arriving this Sat, but I will be oversea this Sat till next Thursday -.-

I wonder how come so fast arrive, dont tell me they use the display unit and send it to me

just got back from HK, got my m15x yesterday, will do a review sooon

Playing with AlienFX now, blue and red lighting seems to be the best colors out of all, the rest seems ugly.

m15x owner here as well .

to all sifus here, for core i7 right, do you actually have to turn on the turbo boost feature at the BIOS? or does the system do it automatically when required?

its not a multi-touch touchpad anyway, so mouse still FTW
