Or else, get read to be pawned by our active and courageous army! v1 here http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=1061885 v2 here http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1248168 price disccusion here http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1248988 History of Alienware » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Established in 1996, Alienware assembles high performance desktops, notebooks, and workstations. According to employees, the Alienware name was chosen because of the founders' fondness for the hit television series The X-Files, hence the theme to their products, with names such as Area-51, Hangar18, m15x, and Aurora.[4] Alienware was originally established to tap a niche in the high performance game market, which back then was not on the radar of the major PC manufacturers such as Dell. Since high-end hardware was not widely distributed, the company's founders formed an OEM which sold personal computers with the highest performing hardware and settings according to benchmarks[citation needed]. The company products are also differentiated by their science-fiction based designs.

I have seen Windows boots in 1 second using 8 SSD raid 0 config, but thats a desktop ofcourse, so for a laptop, I doubt you will need a SSD especially not at the current price. Maybe another 5 more years before the market start adapting fully on Solid State Disk.

Its like comparing a bee to a fly, tho they are both small insects, yet there is a significant size difference and of course in terms of functionality as well GTX 280m SLI This post has been edited by amunriel: Feb 14 2010, 03:32 PM

Maybe in future, I will consider to get one for myself as currently the price for SSD is too high for me to afford.

Sarawak Maju Makmur Senior Member 4,546 posts Joined: Jun 2009 From: Selangor / Sarawak / New York	QUOTE Hi Mr. Michael Boon, For the Alienware M11X, now it’s pre-order system now. Delivery of this model will take around 4 week. As the part yet to arrive in Dell warehouse. I can confirm that the Alienware that you’ve order will receive the first batch. We’ll e-mail you again once the part arrive in Dell Malaysia & Singapore. Many thanks. Jacob Lee Dell Home Sales. SO, this means that everyone will receive their m11x on the same date. i mean for those who pre-oredered it. correct me if im wrong. those who ordered as early as 1st of feb will also receive it at the same date for those ordered later. and one more thing, they said once the part arrive in dell malaysia & singapore. what does that mean?? gonna build in malaysia and singapore? or the part basically means the whole laptop?

Yeap. Same as my M15x back then. SG and MY will be the same region and the stock will most likely be the same. They might not have ALL the parts in our region for now, but it will come. It's how it works.

Ultrawide \| 4K \| VR Senior Member 11,305 posts Joined: Jan 2003	QUOTE Yes, we are back to office today. Production in China is still shutting down in conjunction with Chinese New Year & resume work on 22nd. Hence, we will only be updated on 22nd or after. The "best" answer my SA can give regarding my order. Anyone whose thinking that their orders will be shipped before this month ends are kidding themselves. Let's see. 22nd start getting to work. Assuming that there are no parts shortage, and applying the "best case scenario" from the previous Alienware I had of 8 days, That puts it to March 3rd. However, from the track record of this whole process alone, it would probably be April 3rd than March 3rd. QUOTE Status Update: It has been FOURTEEN days that my order has been placed with the order status hanging at "Order Received". This is pretty much shaping up to be the worst experience I've ever had at ordering any electronics items I had done ever. Only from Dell. EDIT: Looks like the Americans are getting it as early as February 18th, based on this thread at NBR. So much for the "CNY holidays closing production delay" excuse, eh?

Took him a good 10 days too, slightly longer than my last 8 days "order-to-ship" duration. So US, already arrived in people's hands. UK already shipping. Whose turn is it now, to keep the apology going on behalf of Dell here? Just sent two emails reflecting these two situation to the SA. She'll have to come up with better excuses to cover for Dell's incompetences here. This post has been edited by stringfellow: Feb 18 2010, 12:15 AM

Hmm.. I think is not bad .. SU7300 can help to reduce the consumption of the laptop.. So how m11x can last long to 6 hours at least.. For a below 12" portable laptop, is actually need this CULV proc to make battery life longer.. So it have it pros, but cons, hmm.. Maybe as what all the pro said, bad in gaming dy.. haha This post has been edited by cy-yang: Feb 18 2010, 01:30 AM

Hmm.. Sifu here should help me answer those question dy.. haha.. Im noob too.. But for what I know, SU7300 is not really bad in gaming and the affects of the cpu is not that much too.. Don't try to compare with others powerful laptop la, u can only compare with a netbook .. For a lightweight ultra portable m11x, It does have both of the good cpu and gpu.. Thats why m11x is the most powerful "NETBOOK" .. and don't forget m11x have the reward best of CES 10'.. and u own a ALIENWARE bro.. Don worry..

You can hear the cooling fans firing up when you push the GPU. as long as there's no obstruction at the cooling vents, the machine won't get very hot. A lil warm i would say. Get a full time table fan blowing the back of the machine, then you're good to go!

Ultrawide \| 4K \| VR Senior Member 11,305 posts Joined: Jan 2003	From the email, my case has been elevated to Case Manager by the name of Sara. The promise was to call me back, but judging from previous experiences, this is more like "lip service" than an actual attempt at fixing the mess. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Been calling sales department since, checking the call listing, 17 times already and counting. I tried holding for an actual "person" to be on the other line, but instead I got a 30 minute hold with cheesy elevator music. So it's call and redirected to the front desk, and reconnected, and as soon as there's no connection, I hang up and redial back again. Moral of the story: Never bullshit me. Never piss me off. Back to redialing them.

The taking order part is speedy as usual, solving this conflicted nonsense? Pass me around like a football. Nice Dell! I think it doesn't matter, the front desk, sales department, case conflict department and customer care already know me by now, after 43 calls. My SA finally called me just now, but I said back to her that I don't wanna talk to her and listen to her prescripted excuses about my order status, and I want to talk to someone higher up. Of course, as predicted, the manager is busy, apparently from conference call since 9 am I called just now. Must be a hell of a conference call, almost 4 hours! Ooops, time to call them again!

QUOTE(GreaseMonkey90 @ Feb 18 2010, 08:07 AM) finally...ive talked to a very good rep here.....finally!!!! finally got the r2 mobo n heatsink product code. the prices he told me is far cheaper thn the other sales rep. word of advice if yer trying to upgrade. dont tell them yer upgrading coz they wont allow u to upgrade. just tell them you WANT to buy the part. don not mention the word upgrade. and make sure it is the part you want. like ive asked them "is this the mobo that supports the i7 proc?" just make sure of coz they will have a habit of pulling out part tht is related to yer service tag. now i can place my order on the 920xm. ps.....also try to get the product code from them whn they found they found the part for it. so if you get dc u can ask them to search for tht code. n it will be faster. saves you like 20 mins. and i guess its based on Dell Canada right?

I'm burnt out, no matter how much I vent and complain, those idiots at Dell CS, can't and don't have any power or authority to intervene and speed/prioritize production of the order from this side of the world. Funny how the production location is so much closer to Malaysia than the America or UK, but folks here can only salivate and drool as more and more shipment leaves China for those aforementioned countries. Funny also too that we end up paying more/premium for our M11X than the Americans and the UK folks, but treated like third class customers. The "preorder" moniker should then be labelled on our orders instead of the Americans, since theirs are already arriving before their so-called March 1st estimated shipping date. Instead, we have forgiving patrons here who are willing to take whatever excuses Dell gives just so as long as the order arrives in their hands, even if it means being deprioritized under the Westerners order. Colonialism is a practice that I thought had been extinct, but it still lives, it seems, within certain aspects of life around here. Why the folks around here don't feel like rallying against this unfair treatment is beyond me. Consumer rights? What rights?

Anyway just as long as my Lappie arrive at my place at 1st of March then i will be ok.

Yes, for all the Alienware 11x orders, there are part shortage in Dell Production. We are expediting the schedule for you. Yes, tentatively the schedule will be on 1st week of March. I will keep an eyes on your order and speed up for you. Sorry for the inconvenience cause to you. Thank you and have a great day ! Going to call CS later, see what they say about it.

Call "bullshit" on them, and pass them that NBR link. They either don't have a single clue on what is going on, and just giving excuses to keep you temporarily quiet, or they know what is going on and is desperately trying to cover up their incompetence with imaginary issues like this. What parts shortage, when all M11X productions are done at the same place, with the same parts. Unless you're asking for exotic parts like SSD, there is no such thing as parts shortage. These idiots don't have a single clue of what's going on, and simply giving lip service to temporarily appease you. I had CS Manager by the name of Bridget Lai in Penang call me, explaining to me about my lack of EDD case, and demand a daily update via email on the status of my order. She agreed, but reverted back to the useless SA I'm still stuck with now, and after further emailing her about the evidential proof of the M11X has already arrived in the hands of the Americans, conveniently my SA is out of office today, and being replaced by another SA to cover for my case. Like I said, tell the truth, and don't patronize me. IF you fcuk up, own up to it, and do something to correct it. With these Dell idiots, they neither want to admit their mistakes nor do they willing to own up to this and take action. Useless placeholders!

Try and blacklist me, and they'll see me drive their case down to the Consumer Tribunal for doing so. They're taking advantage of the meekness and "tak kisah" attitude of people around here to cover for their incompetence. Worse come to worse, I'll PROVE their incompetence by going Alienware UK. I'd probably get my order done, built and shipped by them, before some of you lot around here, looking at the poor support they're giving to the customers here. Or even worse, jump ship, not give them a single sen, and go Asus G73. I've done more worse and serious things than that, just to prove my point. The iPhone tumpang I did last time, to prove my point that you don't have to spend RM5k to get an iPhone 3G, comes to mind. This post has been edited by stringfellow: Feb 19 2010, 12:01 PM

Ultrawide \| 4K \| VR Senior Member 11,305 posts Joined: Jan 2003	Latest update:- QUOTE Yes. We are looking into your order urgently. I believe my manager, Bridget will handle your enquiry as request by Sandy. From the latest status I can see from the production report, your order is going to be complete assemble today. Bridget will contact you also once the order is ship out and advise you the estimate delivery date. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any concerns or if you need my assistance. Whether this is another lip service, or genuine effort of ramping up the speed of the production, remains to be seen. After been treated like crap before, I'd sooner see the moon turn blue than my " order to complete assembly today".

If you can't get a satisfactory answer, elevate the query to a manager. Another update, but I refuse to make myself happy for it. Bridget has confirmed what Ross Lai, my new SA, has said in that quoted post I posted, my order has completed production and assembly, now waiting for an assigned flight number for the trip from China to Malaysia. She said, if they manage to get a flight detail by today or tomorrow, the package will be in my hands by middle of next week. It looks like a significant improvement, but again, I'm not gonna believe it until I see it. If this works, I URGE others to do the same too, and teach these clueless morons a lesson.

(recommend me if anyone knows any sling bag can fit these) as for external optical drive, looking for an external blu-ray drive (Can play bluray dvd and cd, can burn dvd as well). gonna buy a 15 to 17 inch external monitor + keyboard (cuz i might smash the keyboard to release my anger when i lose games sometimes. i don wan it to happen on my precious m11x)...

The M11X is the perfect companion device to lug around compared to its big brothers, and I'd need it for my on-the-move work routine. Nothing to do with being impatient or otherwise, this is based on need. Your need on the M17X may be casual enough to allow you to wait, but every second I spend waiting means productivity down the drain. You can wait? Go right ahead. Others may not share the same priorities or sentiments as yours. Nor would they look any more less noble or accomodating. My 2sen. This post has been edited by stringfellow: Feb 19 2010, 06:25 PM

I don't wanna think that you guys are currently on hold through that "mandatory" dreadful 30+ minute hold phonecall, but I fear that may be the case. Don't back down with these idiots. If you can't get a satisfactory answer, elevate the query to a manager. Another update, but I refuse to make myself happy for it. Bridget has confirmed what Ross Lai, my new SA, has said in that quoted post I posted, my order has completed production and assembly, now waiting for an assigned flight number for the trip from China to Malaysia. She said, if they manage to get a flight detail by today or tomorrow, the package will be in my hands by middle of next week. It looks like a significant improvement, but again, I'm not gonna believe it until I see it. If this works, I URGE others to do the same too, and teach these clueless morons a lesson. I want to share this moment with you guys, not having it alone. hey string, good news from my side too. here's the email i got from my SA today: QUOTE Your system completed assembled, in transit to Malaysia on next week. Delivery arrange within next week too. Will arrange to the new KL address instead of Taiping. looks like it's a week late from the preliminary ship date of Feb 19th and still 1 week earlier than the given EDD of Mar 3rd. unboxing and benchmarks coming up next weekend.

Your recent purchase probably allows a lenient expectation because it is your first experience with Alienware, but if they can manage a speedier delivery system without me prompting them in the past, what excuse should they have to allow them to slip past that past standard to what it is now? Funny how striving to better oneself doesn't seem to be the target folks around here adhere to. The irony is, these blasé attitude gives more room for Dell to slack off instead of buckling up.

Added on February 19, 2010, 6:30 pmTeikwing, check the Order Status page again. On mine, the EDD is finally there! Status now: Manufacturing Complete. EDD 26th February 2010. The EDD is important here to me because I can set someone to receive the package while I'm away in Adelaide. Helps immensely to make sure that the order arrives timely and with someone to be at home to sign it off. That is what my contention with them about it is so critical.

My 2sen. true wot u said but currently if uve notice all these complaints are targetting yer sales rep. Wot can they do? They do not work in the factory. Plus yer machine is hand built so takes time to assemble them and there are unknown numbers of customers demanding it. So u can't force them to speed up yer machine bcoz there r ppl who way ahead of you. Plus forcing a speed production might miss something. If uve been a past alienware owner, there are 9 stages. One are pre testing parts functionality, software and games testing. Now Dell has shorten up these display of stages to only 4. 5 of them are in the in production stage right now. It could be in any of those stages. So all I'm saying stop complaining to the sales rep bcoz all they can do is place the order, tell the factory workers and thts all. It is all up to the factory by then. Remember these are not built for mass production n ship out in containers. So just wait for it. It will arrive.

Ultrawide \| 4K \| VR Senior Member 11,305 posts Joined: Jan 2003	The push didn't get through to the right person until I persevere and the case got elevated to the right person, the manager who has the power to do something about the order. As for missing the stages, the problem here again is not the stages themselves, it's the bloody Order Status page not reporting the stages correctly! This results in perceived delay in the production of the order when there are no delays at all! Look at the orders made for the American and UK. They are processed and built at the same factory as the AP orders. There were no delays to begin with as the shipments for both these areas went out, earlier than what is estimated. All Dell could easily do is allocated FAIRLY the orders to the many regions, but until that happens, unless I prodded and investigated, Dell Malaysia hasn't even the initiative or effort to look into it. I don't blame them, because the folks here are more than happy to stare at non-moving status phases than doing something about it, as you eloquently put. Because of that, orders that can be distributed fault and equally, gets prioritized to other regions where the purchasers from this region actually put some effort to enquire or ask. Just check NBR, there are numerous cases where buyers who called to ask further info about their orders gets their orders prioritized, and in some cases, gets shipped overnight for no extra charge. This happens ONLY when you take the tine and effort to do so. It is not the matter of skipping phases, there where no skips to begin with. Alienware QC is intact, the only thing that make a lot of people perceive that they are being skipped is because the order phase is not being updated in real-time. This is why I pushed for them to fix the order status page and it's accuracy. Once that was pushed for, looked what happened! The Order Status even states an EDD rather than a blank! This will help later orders to be reflected accurately for those who ordered late. So next time, get the big picture. This is not a rush job. Alienware will suffer greatly if they skipped on their 200-point QC cycle. This is about making that blasted Order Status page reflect accurately the progress of the order. And it is accurate now. So who wins? Not me! It's you, and other future purchasers who will now have accurate readout of what's going on with their order. There was never a rush or skip of quality control to begin with! Phew! Don't simply open your mouth and type without thinking. Even with my last 8-days "order to ship" speed last order I had for my M15X, guess what? My M11X is working like new, just like when it shipped almost two years ago! Alienware never skips on their promise of QC, even when the order phases are sped up. It just shows that they're efficient in their progress process from order to shipping. Get it!!?

Well, like String and Grease said, different ppl have different needs then, as for me and Grease, we would rather wait as rushing the SA doesn't really help much. Grease have his point by saying SA's duties are just handling our orders, not building them.

Ultrawide \| 4K \| VR Senior Member 11,305 posts Joined: Jan 2003	The SAs are not rushed. As I said before and found out as well, they are placeholder. I'm not banking or hoping for discounts, just someone who can tell the truth, not scripted responses. You said it yourself, they know very little. But "pushing them" here means getting them to elevate the case to someone who knows. Why would I pine on the words of those who know little, when I can get the real pcture from those who have access to it, the managers? Once I got there, everything was explained wasn't it? Added bonus? Personal attention of the manager themselves to my order, and it had fixed the once-stalled order status. That was the intention all along. The SA may be collateral damage, but if they took the effort of finding out more from their managers, all this aggravations can be avoided. Call your SA if you don't believe me that when I say that the SA and the manager work close with each other, all the SA had to do was just ASK!

I've narrowed the mouse down to Razer Mamba. Also looking for a good set of headphones, and seriously interested at the Psyko lineup. Otherwise, I'll just get Razer Megalodon or Carcharias. forgotten Grid and Fallout 3. will be using my newly exchanged Targus backpack from Dell for the M11x.

Having said so, i'm the first to receive my M15x here i guess. I think its a lil luck involved here. haha. The m15x user first generation here, not M15X. This one is even dreaded worse, users with the Ripley chassis reported endless problemw tih the chassis splaying open after a while because the back end of the top case is only held together by hot glue and flimsy screws. After gaming for a while, the hot exhaust air from the back vent would heat the screw hole causing it to expand and splay the back end of the case open. Mine is the Skullcap, I went ahead and it still is good till now. No hinge problem at all. The m15x was ordered on October 21nd 2008. They fixed this problem with the new M15X design. Notice the new designation, M15X, not the m15x. It was small-lettered to designate the old generation, before they more to designs closer to the AllPowerful models.

How's the Targus looks like? I like form-fitting cases, so in this case, sleeves. The sleeve then would go into my own Hedgren/Samsonite bag that fits 13 inch laptops nicely. Otherwise, I can transport the M15X in its own cloth sleeve which comes with it, and carry it around in another bag, but it also must be form fitting with enough paddings. I wouldn't like th M11X to move around so much in the bag, hence why the form-fitting preference. I have Booq backpack that fits my m15x, but using that will only means it kills the form factor portability. The search continues.....

Ultrawide \| 4K \| VR Senior Member 11,305 posts Joined: Jan 2003	Looking at h0M3bReW3r's case, several factors comes into light. 1. I don't know about anyone here, but if I get a hard drive based laptop, I would NEVER flip or move around the laptop while it is booting up. Especially during first bootup. Just look at how he treats it during the unboxing video. Flip left, right, even tip it up and under so that he can video-record the underside for the lighting on the exhaust port! Now either the HDD itself has SMART capabilities to autoshut to prevent HDD head diving into the platter itself or not, this is a big no-no! Those action alone may have created bad sectors onto the drive, even more critical when it is his first bootup! 2. From what I read, his OC is fine with 1.6, but crashed at 1.73. Question is, where did he do his overclocking on? On that soft bed he did the unboxing? Covering the exhaust port underneath the laptop with bedsheets is only asking for trouble, especially when you are OCing the laptop. Heat needs to dissipate fast, and covering the only exit vent will only cause internal temp to rise and eventually? System shutdown due to excessive temperature. 3. Personally, I'm happy with 1.6Ghz. I plan to OC it that way. From the hardwareheaven review, the OCing penalty is almost begligible, only 1C temp rise. Stressing it to 1.73? Well, take it this way lah. I had engineering samples of the Athlon FX processor years ago during my overclocking days. Even with these engineering samples which are supposed to be superior than retail version, you are still up to a measure of luck to see if your batch overclocks better or performs only slightly better than retail processors. You take chances, there is no sure thing when it comes to overclocking. Too many variables are involved, INCLUDING the ambient environment variables like ample airflow, circulating surrounding temperature, your method of transporting away the hot air away from the processor so that it performs better, and such. The point here is, the laptop performs fine as it is advertised. If you're buying it based on its overclocking abilities, then it is already the wrong reason to buy it. Alienware, IIANM, never advertised it as overclockable-steady nor does the machine itself is intended to do so. Only the hardware geeks among us who wants to push the poor little thing to its limits would want to risk doing so. EDIT: Reading back again, it's reported that he hasn't any temp issues. In that case, more like it is about the power draw from the power supply unit. Undervolting may work, but that remains to be seen, or tried by the guys who already have their M11X. Again, this happens only during the excessive 1.73 overclock. I'd take 1.6 anytime and be happy with it. Don't know how much faster you can do things with a mere 0.13Ghz of extra processor speed.

Ultrawide \| 4K \| VR Senior Member 11,305 posts Joined: Jan 2003	Also important point brought up by NBR member krackmonkey:- QUOTE This thing's been in the wild "officially" less than 48 hours. As an IT professional in an all Dell shop, I see BIOS updates come fast and furious in the first weeks/months of a new chipset. What the M11x is doing today with the BIOS as shipped is by no means something anyone should consider indicative of what this laptop will be capable of in the days to come. Trust me, BIOS updates and firmware updates can make a night/day difference in certain configurations. Let this beast cause a few problems under real-world use and see what the engineers do to fix things via updates. It will make a difference, and I have the patience to know that cutting edge hardware always has bleeding edge growing pains attached to it. In a month, I bet we're all laughing about this. Or at least the patient ones who didn't rush to cancel their orders... Incidentally, an A01 BIOS is already in the Dell Support section at this link. Whether this is already the one in the M11X when it ships or a new one, I cant tell since I have not received mine yet. Long story short, relaaaaaaaaaaaaaaax.

The point here is, the laptop performs fine as it is advertised. If you're buying it based on its overclocking abilities, then it is already the wrong reason to buy it. Alienware, IIANM, never advertised it as overclockable-steady nor does the machine itself is intended to do so. Only the hardware geeks among us who wants to push the poor little thing to its limits would want to risk doing so. EDIT: Reading back again, it's reported that he hasn't any temp issues. In that case, more like it is about the power draw from the power supply unit. Undervolting may work, but that remains to be seen, or tried by the guys who already have their M11X. Again, this happens only during the excessive 1.73 overclock. I'd take 1.6 anytime and be happy with it. Don't know how much faster you can do things with a mere 0.13Ghz of extra processor speed. QUOTE(stringfellow @ Feb 20 2010, 08:33 AM) Also important point brought up by NBR member krackmonkey:- Incidentally, an A01 BIOS is already in the Dell Support section at this link. Whether this is already the one in the M11X when it ships or a new one, I cant tell since I have not received mine yet. Long story short, relaaaaaaaaaaaaaaax. QUOTE(stringfellow @ Feb 20 2010, 10:47 AM) Looks like they're speaking the truth. A refreshing change. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Shipped! string, same status for me. looks like we might receive our system on the same day? on the OC side, i can live with 1.3Ghz. don't see the point of 1.6/1.73 unless when i really need it. still, will see how's the reviews from peeps in NBR to decide to go for 1.6 or 1.73 or stick with stock 1.3.

My dad is overseas, if he wants to buy an M15x for my birthday present could he use his credit card from there and just pay to have it shipped to my house here?

Look at all my stars!! Senior Member 6,109 posts Joined: Dec 2008 From: Mike India Romeo India	Quote from someone over at NBR: "Note: Overclocking will not void your warranty. It is a built in bios feature!! If they didn't want it overclocked for fear of damage, they would never have programmed to OC option in the bios. I hope I'm making sense. You can overclock other alienwares, and I've never had a warranty issue. The issue develops when you use a third party CPU and that causes damage to the laptop." Extra Note: Maybe this only applies when Alienware was the one who handles the service not Dell.. This post has been edited by Eugene91: Feb 20 2010, 08:43 PM

Ultrawide \| 4K \| VR Senior Member 11,305 posts Joined: Jan 2003	Like I said before, the Alienware of the now, is not the Alienware of the old. The old Alienware are more PC-gamer-centric focused, they are made by gamers , for the gamers. They "built is as if it was their own". Now, once gobbled up by Dell, it is all about mass-producing these laptops, and somewhere along the line the Quality Control is no longer as per what it was once before. A lot of frustration has mounted from old Alienware users like me, when we see how they have devolved into just another PC manufacturer. The whole process from designing and speccing the next laptop is probably still Alienware's, but once it steps into the production floor, Dell takes over, and that's where the quality drops. You can't expect them to maintain QC when they are manufacturing thousands of laptops in a day. The days of "build it as if it was their own" are gone when they were bought away by Dell.

Dell's SA and cust care are only working on weekdays, office hours. those who received replies from 'em off working hours or on weekends are due to the fact that these Dell staff has off-site work access which enables 'em to reply emails and access Dell's data network from home.

DARN! i just hope i can upgrade without the need to cancel my order. or the 1 year premier service also an international service, then i don wanna extend anymore. how come until now dell status site still cannot access? UNLESS, if they change the component of the laptop if i change my warranty. tats y.. otherwise they can just change the database, tats all. if not, maybe like i said, 3 years warranty comes with better components? who knows...

Dell Care From sum of the googles info, should be the same with a Dell On Call Extra Help Desk 13 Months ? Not really sure bout it. As far as I know My whole 3 Years dell care they basically sends a guy over checks the prob and replace wuteva is needed. Didn't really get to use the whole warranty as most of my dell systems and lappies ran fine beside the projector had sum minor quirk on the power button thingy.

Ultrawide \| 4K \| VR Senior Member 11,305 posts Joined: Jan 2003	My previous order with Alienware, the m15x, never had any EDD, the order was updated in real-time. Meaning I get updates as the order passes the different phases, from production to shipping tracking. So I can't say how much faster it was because there was never an estimate to begin with. The last order chronology was:- » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « QUOTE October 21st 2008 - Your Order is Currently in Phase 1 - Phase 1: (Order Confirmation) Your order has been received and is awaiting order confirmation. As part of our security procedures, all orders must be confirmed before they can be processed. October 23rd 2008 - Order moved to Phase 3! Phase 3: (Payment Processed) Payment has been received and the order is now in queue for production. October 24th 2008 - Order moved to Phase 4! Phase 4: (Pre-Production) The inventory that will be used to custom build the PC is being pulled and inspected. In the rare occurrence that a PC component is not readily available, you will be notified via email. October 25th 2008 - Order moved to Phase 5! Phase 5: (Production Phase 1 - Assembly) Your system is being hand-built by an Alienware Assembly Technician. Alienware takes great pride in building our systems, as our motto reflects, "build it as if it were your own." The assembly stage can take some time, as all the components and cabling in the system is carefully installed for greater upgrade flexibility and thermal airflows. Every Assembly Technician has been trained and qualified to Alienware standards. We pride ourselves on giving you a high performance computer system! October 28th 2008 - Order is shipped! Phase 9! Phase 9: (Order Shipped) Congratulations, the order has been shipped. We only hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed building it for you. FINALLY! [Expected arrival date and time to my doorstep - October 30th 5pm! Tracking was later given the moment it was passed to DHL, again tracking in real-time. So you see, it's like having the Sales Agent right there next to me telling me every step of the way, in real-time. The efficiency of the Alienware Order Phase System (not Dell Order Status) helps towards that. This is Alienware UK based in Dublin, Ireland.

It was a great risk taken on my part, seeing how the "broken hinge" problem was rampant at that time. Fast forward till now, still good as new. It is out of warranty now, and even out of production too, so it's "run at your own risk" already. EDIT: My order changed to "Uplift" already, on the 20th. Meaning it is on its courier agent now, on its way here. Hopefully by tomorrow or Tuesday, or by the latest early Wednesday, coz I need to get it before I'm flying to Adelaide. Long stay there too so can benchmark and play all I want while I'm there in that dead town. This post has been edited by stringfellow: Feb 21 2010, 09:59 PM

Most definitely because of this:- QUOTE October 25th 2008 - Order moved to Phase 5! Phase 5: (Production Phase 1 - Assembly) Your system is being hand-built by an Alienware Assembly Technician. Alienware takes great pride in building our systems, as our motto reflects, "build it as if it were your own."

Especially the phrase "Alienware takes great pride in building our systems, as our motto reflects, "build it as if it were your own."" and "Every Assembly Technician has been trained and qualified to Alienware standards. We pride ourselves on giving you a high performance computer system". They proudly claimed it that way. Ever seen Dell say anything like that? I'm sticking with one year on mine. My lifespan of holding on to a laptop is usually a year or less. Once it passes that period, it'll then either get passed to a family member as I upgrade to better things, or I continue using it without warranty. Doesn't faze me.

Sarawak Maju Makmur Senior Member 4,546 posts Joined: Jun 2009 From: Selangor / Sarawak / New York	okay, your m15x still with you right? okay another question. what do you think, just your opinion: lets say: if Dell said i have to cancel off my order and make a new order+pay the penalty (if there is any) just because i wanted to extend my warranty, what do you think they are up to? they wanted me to cancel this one and order a new one, could it be because they are assembling some better components for those who ordered 3 years warranty? as for the one year units, they give components that have higher risk of having some issue after a year. so what do you think? unless if dell says, okay no problem, u just need to top up another rm 473 to extend your warranty. otherwise, they will give me a mindset telling me that they are giving better components for 3 year warranty.

Sarawak Maju Makmur Senior Member 4,546 posts Joined: Jun 2009 From: Selangor / Sarawak / New York	tmr first question gonna ask them is whether this 1 year warranty is an international warranty. if not, then second question would be can i extend my warranty without the need of canceling the order. if my sa says yes and i need to cancel, i will be questioning him why. after all, my unit is not built yet. they surely can change the database. then if still cannot, i will have to cancel and order a new one. in the end, wait for another 1 month. Added on February 21, 2010, 10:17 pm QUOTE(FindingScreemo @ Feb 21 2010, 10:14 PM) IMHO, i doubt that. lol hehe.. sorry sorry just my own opinion not from any source or any site.. haha.. no worries.
