feel doubt if m17x can work with 1 graphic card (in fact there are 2 graphic card slot embedded), when got money , only add 1 more graphic card to make both running parallel..

So you got yours eh? Congrats then! I wonder how you can get yours so fast when other who bought at the fair getting it later.
As for me, I called the Logistics company up and they confirm Skynet sending to me today. So I hope by Midday I'll be taking unboxing pics of the M15x to share here. (Providing I have time to take photos seeing how busy I'll be today tongue.gif)

Lagging browser? Why does it lag? If you're using IE 64 bit, try using other browsers. Most plug-ins/3rd party java crap is not supported with 64bits browser atm.
And oh, AW don't like prawn.
Don't surf prawn site or else your alien ship will crash.  tongue.gif

the browser i am using is InExplorer, that comes with windows 7.... damn lag...after the page has been completely loaded, simple task like entering keyword in google search box cannot perform well, but it does not occur too often

Nope...
Battery doens't seem to work.
When its plugged in, system detects battery and lists it as 100%.
But when I took out charger just now, systems OFF-ed.
Now just running on ac-power. M15x detects that now there is -NO BATTERY-
So Im guessing its a battery problem? I hope so.... :/

No way to call them now? Like a 24hr service?

julchin, u should call them up as soon as possible, this sort of problem is not a minor problem, ur aw is in new condition, how come the battery does not work at all??? my AW has a problem when i have just received it yesterday, when i plugged the adapter in to charge the battery, the battery status there show "is not charging", until i found there were a few people on the other forum encounter the same problem and they suggest me to install new bios which is available on dell website. Then it comes to a step where i was prompted with an input "either yes or no" to run the ec flash, both 'Y' and 'N' letter does not work and they triggered "bad command" error, finally i solved this problem by typing "DFLASH EC_W670.096" and it solved, swt.... thanks to my ex notworthy.gif , i used it to find the solution in handling this error... Dell seems provide good service but worse quality, haiz... started to feel doubt how long it could remain healthy....julchin maybe u can try to update ur bios... i wonder 3 years complete cover provides service 24 hours?

called the guys at DELL.
Turns out nothing wrong with my batt.
According to Dell Tech, I had to take out AC and battery and press power button for 15secs.
This was to discharge the system or something.
Then inserted battery again and power ON and IT WORKS.
Apparently this happens with new systems but not all the time.
So my system working fine now smile.gif

And DELL Does have a 24hr call service.
DELL CARE Premium = 1800 88 5784
*
so is this necessary for all new system or just those system with battery problem?.... 3year complete cover include 24 hours service? what is the number for 24 hours service? the dell phone number that i called telling me that the office has closed when i was calling it at 6pm yesterday...

Battery Problem still pending....
I will update BIOS and see if that solves the batt issue.
Earliest DELL Tech can come personally to check and give me a new batt is on Monday cos Tomorrow is a public Holiday....
So am keeping fingers crossed that BIOS version A02 will do wonders...
Am currently happy playing my games using only the AC-Adaptor though.... smile.gif

i thought ur problem has been solved after discharge the system?
