Got a call from Dell sales rep. He inform me that the m17x R2 with i5 & i7 will be online by tomorrow in www.dell.com.my 

Shopping Time!

I got this from one of the e-mail when i enquire about the M11x :

"Alienware M11x is not available in South East Asia.
We are still working to bring in this model. "

I hope they will bring in the M11x coz M15x & M17x are very heavy !

Added on February 2, 2010, 11:35 amNow it comes to an issue of

Intel Pentium Processor SU4100 1.3GHz, 800MHz FSB, 2MB L2 Cache
                                              vs
Intel Core 2 Duo Processor SU7300 1.3GHz, 800MHz FSB, 3MB L2 Cache
Now the specs they have in common are the:
-1.3GHz Clock Speed
-Dual-Cores
-FSB Speed

The Difference are:
SU4100:
-only 2MB L2 Cache
-No Intel Virtualisation (VT-x) support

SU7300:
-3MB L2 Cache
-Has Intel Virtualisation(VT-x) support

Do you guys think its worth it spending USD$100 on the Intel C2D SU7300?? Which is about RM350 ??

on another note, here are some mobile CPU scores as reference:

PassMark CPU Benchmark

Processor - PassMark CPU Mark

Intel Core2 Duo SU7300 @ 1.30GHz - 1007
Intel Celeron 743 @ 1.30GHz - 481 (lowest spec V13)
Intel Core2 Solo U3500 @ 1.40GHz - 483 (mid spec V13)

Intel SU4100 @ 1.30GHz - 970 (Acer Timeline 1810TZ/4810TZ)
Intel SU2300 @ 1.20GHz - 920 (Acer Timeline 1410TZ)

Intel Core2 U7500 @ 1.06GHz - 568 (current/2008-9 HP Compaq 2510p)

AMD Turion X2 Dual-Core Mobile RM-75 2.2Ghz - 1106 (Asus K40/50AB)

Intel Atom N280 @ 1.66GHz  - 316 (Dell Mini 10v, Lenovo S10-2)
Intel Atom N450 @ 1.66GHz  - 321
Intel Atom Z550 @ 2.00GHz  - 351

Intel Core Duo T2300 @ 1.66GHz - 760 (2006 Inspiron 6400)
Intel Core Duo T2600 @ 2.16GHz - 905

Intel Pentium Dual-Core T4400 @ 2.20GHz - 1442 (Lenovo G450)

Intel Core2 Duo T5670 @ 1.80GHz - 1011
Intel Core2 Duo T7200 @ 2.00GHz - 1130 (2006 XPS 1210)
Intel Core2 Duo T6600 @ 2.20GHz - 1571 (Toshiba L510-4314, Lenovo G450)

Intel Core2 Duo P7450 @ 2.13GHz - 1573 (Lenovo Y450)
Intel Core2 Duo P8700 @ 2.53GHz - 1792 (BenQ S42)

Intel Core i3 M 330 @ 2.13GHz - 2114 (Inspiron 1464/1564, Acer 4740G)
Intel Core i5 M 430 @ 2.27GHz - 2491 (Studio 14/15)
Intel Core i7 720QM @ 1.60GHz - 3338 (SXPS 16)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The score are relative (in that there is no unit of measurement). But non the less a score of 3000 would indicate that the CPU is about 3 times faster than a CPU with a score of 1000.

The unit of measurement, if there was one, would be a scaled average of operations performed per sceond.

But real life might not always reflect the CPU Mark:
1) Most PC are not CPU bound, they are disk bound. So speeding up you hard drive will make your PC seems faster and have more impact, than a adding a new CPU. (Windows boots much quicker, apps start quicker and execute quicker).
2) CPU mark will use all CPUs and all CPU cores available. Not may real worlds apps can fully load 16, 8, or even 4 cores.

Hi,
I have some Intel test comparison charts...
- Itunes, the SU7300 and SU4100 perfomed equal
- Excel, the SU7300 performed marginally better
- for digital encoding and Photoshop, the SU7300 performed significantly better

Just checked, upgrading to SU7300 doesnt cost USD100, only +RM173. Still thinking whether to upgrade from 2x1GB to 2x2GB ram for +RM262...

get 4gb la bro.. 2gb really not sufficient for gaming at all.. 100% sure lag! haha cus window already took around 500mb ram?

3 weeks already chinese new year.... it will be a better bet after CNY becoz of all those Holiday who know what will go wrong during this period? And if it is gonna be manufactured in China then it will be even worse since its a really big big holiday there sure gonna be delays.

wow so how u talk to them? How u get the discount?
And how bout the delivery date?

WAH... what is Dell SA? Dell Sales Agent?
How can simply get discount like that? So good one?

Btw, if I accessorize my Alienware with an Alienware Monitor (RM999)... does the Warrant include the monitor as well?

Pls update us on the delivery date! If they can confirm a delivery date early then i will give the SA a call too!

I didnt confirm my order..

Specs
Intel Core 2 Duo SU7300 1.3GHz
-4GB DDR3
-320GB 7200rpm
3 years Premier Service with 3 Year Complete Cover

RM4407 discounted to RM4157 no freebies ...

I cancelled because i thought of Chinese New Year and the Assembling Plants are in CHINA.. I remember CHINA factories and workers will be off a week before CNY.. lol..

Dell USA did say March only shipments start.. hmm..
