Anybody planning to get optical drive addon for their M11X? If so, is anybody going beyond DVD, namely Blu-ray? After days of search, still cant find anywhere that have the Asus external BD drive.

EDIt: Called them again. Looks like no chance arriving any earlier than 26th. I'm in Adelaide at that time, so Teikwing would probably be the first person here to get an M11X.

Buy from amazon?

That would be the last resort. I'll have to wait until I get another trip to the States, but I was hoping that the scene here is updated enough to carry this product in. Just called Servex and Build Tech, looks like they don't stock this in.

Though I must say, its really overpriced....

Shipping it was even more killer. Which is why I'm waiting for my USA trip before buying this. Looks like I'd have to get the external DVD driver first before getting this.

Anther matter to ponder is how would you be installing your games, and if running games without the discs themselves is possible. I know of options like Direct2drive and Steam, but what about those with actual physical game DVDs?

Make an image file out of the DVD, if that is possible?
Hasn't been keeping up to date with nowadays games requirement....

wow the external bd driver cost 1.7k from dell.
anyways,
UPDATE:

Hi Michael Boon,


Thank you for your e-mail.

You need to extended the warranty to 3 yrs in order to get international warranty.

Attach above with the warranty extension price for you.

For your case you need to receive the good first then only order the extended warranty.



As now the order in progress, so if you need me to include in the package then we’ve to cancel and recut to a new order. This will delay the whole process. Thanks.

Dell Home Sales.

the statement he sent to me says i need to pay rm473 only.

Some games do allow virtualization of the game discs. My Civilization IV game allows this. I just create an image of the disc, mount it up and the game loads. Others detects the presence of the disc, otherwise it will not run.

Services like D2D and Steam alleviates this, but I don't feel like buying my games twice.

hello string, you only install original software and games right?
i have a question here, does the american "kastam" check your laptop when you cross the border? like are they gonna check whether you're using pirated softwares or what not ?

Only originals. So I have no fear of them checking my laptops for pirated software.

As crew, we go through a separate lane compared to the passengers. They still scan our stuff, but like I said, all my stuff are original.

ok sure. thanks.
i have many seniors passed the kastam without getting caught. so gonna take risk to use some pirated softwares like microsoft word and adobe photoshop. >.<
too expensive to purchase to original license.
games, mayb some pirated some ori.
anyway, thanks alot for the info.

Finally the status "Manufacturing build completed",and estimated bought foward to 1/3/2010 already..

Mine one currently "Ship from factory"

Estimated date is 27-Feb-2010.

Think most ppl who ordered m11x is happy now to see the updated status.. Mine also 'Manufacturing build completed'

I can see my status have moved from "In transit" to "Uplift". Anyone here knows what does "Uplift" means ?

when did u guys place ur order ?
would like to know ur date of order placed.
