no problem mate and sorry due to not replying your PM. my inbox just like a mess, no time to clean that thing up

well its seems M17x suit you. Azurika - one of M17x owner always bring his beast to work, even use it during presentation with his client also claim there is not problem in portability

and about waiting or not... its depend on you. but for me, GTX280M SLi is MORE than enough. but the downside is it have no support of Dx11. thats all.

i think you have an typing error there

hye my man! my friend said your Alienware Orion Backpack is more than superb!!!!!

i really can't wait till he back to my place 10 more days!

man, thanks a MILLION to you!

realy ? aww that sarks =(
well , i know my frens Sager 15.6' lappy which came with a 280gtx , he change it to the 5870 after 2 months and its running perfectly now .

well sager is well known of having massive heatsink, so its not surprising that it can fit 5870 in there.

where and how much did he brought 5870?

lol...that bag is huge...but extremely suitable for alienware lappies since alienware lappies are as huge as the bag... u will surely love the bag

he said 2k++ after convert to RM , not too sure

Um. Nope. Going for baseline model.

My 2007 desktop rig is a 2.2GHz C2D/2GB DDR2 667/8800GT.
If the lappy can perform gaming at the same level then I'm happy dy...

by hook or by crook, get GTX260M!

if not, you better spend that amount of money to other brand of laptop. really dude.

Yeah that, it's pretty much wajib to get the 260. You're paying so much money, might as well pay a little more to get the most out of a 15 inch laptop.

if ur just getting base specs for m15x , rather go for the G-73 , for ur gaming needs perspective la, much more powerful and cheaper -.-" unless u WANT an Alienware for design and bragging rights xP then by all means.

I didn't buy an M15x for the style and design at all, I just wanted a good gaming rig.
Does that mean I spent money wrong? ._.

asus that model is 17 inch my dear.. no one compares laptop with different size.

if u wanan compare, get a 15 inch and compare

asus that model can be compared with 17 inch m17x

you might want to survey Sager gaming laptop too if the word 'Alienware' don't mean anything to you.

There was an error while AlienFX Controller was communicating with the computer. This might have been caused due to a problem with the hardware or the software.Try these solutions to correct the issue, in the following order:
alienFX controller show me this messege
The device you have selected is included in the current theme but AlienFX cannot detect this device on your system. Do you want to remove this device from the current theme?

- Try to enable AlienFX Controller again. Right-click on the AlienFX icon in the Windows notification area and select 'Enable Alienware AlienFX'.
- Shut down your computer and power it back on.

If neither of these solutions works, please contact Alienware technical support.
This error may also be caused if Alienware AlienFX software is installed on a computer without the proper hardware support for Alienware AlienFX.

i cannot change my light at alienfx
isnt hardware problem or software problem
now there are red light but i cannot change or close it after click fn+f11

depents on 1's perspective, nobody is wrong

im just saying if he wants a desktop replacement for hardcore gaming , and doesnt wanna spend so much , why not get 1 value for money d ? the gtx240 probably last bout at most 1 year on games on high settings. And the usual case is people dont compare 17 with 15 cuz 17 is sure to be much more exp and portability , which in this case are not much difference
but , as i also said , if he WANTS an AlienWare , by all means xP id also had that mind set , choosing the design/performance over value/performance , AW vs Sager , and i ended up with AW for the bragging rights. Only thing difference here is our budget i guese.

A bit late for that. I saw a Sager that had a GTX280 on its 15" and my heart sank.
Please excuse me, I'm going to cry.

ya , sager NP8690 , RM5.7k comes with GTX285 or RM5.6k which comes with ATI 5870
why 5870 cheaper dont ask me , ask mucro asia -.-"

*corrected
and if buy m15x and dont upgrade the GPU to GTX260M, u might as well get studio xps16 which has HD4670 and it's better than GT240M

but xps 16 doesnt have a good cooling system like the alieenware.
the xps does not have lightings like alienware too =D

mostly i will prefer M17x due to it is now offering Free GTX280M SLi...... But i think that most of the time u wont gaming right? M15x is better(Performance +portability)not M11x ya

M15x doesnt have bottle neck interms of performances when u solve the throttling issue, like what u said, 5FPS is not a big different, Core i7 have low clock 1.6, but u can ask those m15x user
M15x Core i7 SLOW?
Personal Used Alot Of Alienware, M11x, M15x, M17x, what spec also used before, if dont belive, u can ask All Alienware USer(forumer)
No matter how, I7 is a better tech which give u a better performance, ultilize or not utilize, who care? u can see the different? you have Sharingan? or Byakugan?

u know why they tell u Core 2 Duo is better? Cause Core 2 Duo wanna phase out d, wanna clear stock.


Even though it is not utilize, can u feel the performance drop? i wont think so
