One fella got a bad unit.. BSOD when Overclocking..

The rest who received their M11x so far so good..

running on overclocked 1.6Ghz for almost 4 hours and its flawless!


QUOTE(0300078 @ Feb 24 2010, 10:06 PM)
OK bro here i need u guys advice.

I just receive a call frm my SA about my m11x

She told me tat my m11x was delay and is still in the work in progress becoz lack of part.... I was like WTF

my order was place & confirm on 4th February!!!!
The status stay stuck at the work-in-progress for 2 weeks and now she call and tell me no parts.

I believe some others bro here who made the order later than mine has at least reach the arrival at local kastam or may have already receive theirs.
So i am not really very happy with this case since she cant confirm when i can get mine. What should i do? Complain to the Dell Sales Manager but i dun think i will get anything else beside another dozen of useless SORRY. I think i want to request some stuff frm them.

Any suggestion and advice?
*
well, do get clarification on what kinda parts are on shortage. plus, escalate the case to the manager or customer care. free stuffs probably ain't that easy but still you might be able to get your unit earlier.

QUOTE(lksing78 @ Feb 24 2010, 10:12 PM)
for those who have receive their M11x
did u guys receive any targus bag wit it?
*
nope. unless you're willing to trade the cash discount for a Targus bag. still you'll get a dust bag though. biggrin.gif

Note these words:

"The case is made of massive aluminum components, which gives the compact gamer stability worth seeing"

I thought it was plastic? lol..
*
lid cover = plastic
palm rest/track pad = plastic

the only part which feels/looks like metal/aluminium would b the bottom part.

Hello guys,

Can anyone advice how to take care of our alienware m11x battery life?
*
disable charging via BIOS? not sure if it's really working or we'll have to wait for a BIOS update.

Is updating BIOS easy? I never do it before.

Last time I heard updating BIOS is very dangerous. If suddenly no electricity and BIOS update half way, the whole system spoil?

Please advice. Tq.
*
been doing plenty of BIOS update on my old laptops, no issues at all. however, what Mr. Docter posted is true.

apart from that, the laptop will do just fine most of the time.

QUOTE(Mr.Docter @ Feb 26 2010, 12:08 PM)
yep. if anything bad happen during the process of updating, your system will turn into brick at all.
cannot be revive, cannot be repaired.

so i advise to take some times before updating your BIOS. google the review of new BIOS if there is anything wrong with it. if there is seems no problem, just go ahead and update your BIOS smile.gif
honestly i already forgotten that matter sweat.gif

yours already arrive?! no unboxing moment captured? drool.gif

alright guys, here's the first issue i noticed on the M11x:

when the keyboard backlight was set to white, the left side of the keyboard (where the Tab, Caps Lovk and Shift key are located) tend to have some uneven hues of pink, purple and green. other areas looks fine (pure white).

those who have received their unit might wanna confirm on this issue.

i dont think the color is an issue. we do get it in M15x too. its just the lights i guess
*
it's an known issue across the AW lineup? seems like it's an normal M11x, reconfirmed with other M11x users.

QUOTE(Eugene91 @ Feb 27 2010, 07:52 AM)
Here are some I got from NBR.. >.<

The issues with the m11x:
Some BSOD when overclocked.
Some can't turn of the fan.
Some screens don't really like the way they are put in and start moving.
Some right hing thingy will do the rice crispy thing and sometimes break off.
Some have some battery issues to.
Some just don't like you.
*
No BSOD, no creaky sounds, no loose parts, no loud fan spin/noise. just FN+F2 (disabled via BIOS) and white lighting issue for me. smile.gif
