wow.. nice graphic
can handle 30fps and above even at very high settings ^^

hmmm, if malaysia i noe la. the 3 years premium service + 3 years complete cover will become the international warranty.
i will be upgrading my warranty to 3 years once i got my unit cuz i need that international warranty.
how it applies?
before i leave the country (about 10 days according to my SA), i have to call up dell to tell them i wanna register my warranty to international warranty. after that i will have to go online and fill in an online form which includes ur address in the country you're going.

so yea, tats all i noe lar, tats for malaysia orders.
but US orders i not sure.

(hopefully they're updating my account and order status xD)

lolz. how come? heavy?

M17x made my dreams come true.. lol

Cant afford the luxury of the currently available SSDs in the market, since none of them are sized big enough to cover the current 500GB HDD in my M11X. The 512GB SSDs are nowhere to be found, otherwise I would have gotten one already. Am not going to a size smaller than that, since looking at my current usage, it's already taken 233GB of the 500GB HDD, and the games kept on coming!

Posting from Starbucks BTS. Dropping by LYP yielded no promising results in my quest for finding the elusive 512GB SSD. Sometimes when you have the cash but dont have the place to spend it on also susah......sigh..

Hahaah... Like AirAsia...

Now Everyone Can own an AlienWare!!!

Yea, it is built to fit in two 17" lappie. Should be ok for 2 M17x if i'm not wrong.

Welcome, am doing revisions for exams. lol.
Well, the current line up will last you for at least 4 years i guess. this is pretty subjective i supposed.
look at core 2 duo proc, it's still sustainable in today's market, tho it is slowly fading out.
so imo, it's gonna last at least 4 years, if you can resist the temptation to change to another alien during that period of time lol

The case in point here is, your own definition of what's portable. Heavyset folks have no qualms in lugging around larger laptops because they can afford to do so, strength-wise. Others may not wanna be burden by the encumbrance and/or weight. I had a 17inch Qosmio maxxed out at one time and I told myself that I can carry this around, because I want a powerful laptop with me wherever I go. Long story short, I ended up with sore shoulders, an increasingly painful back and the challenging situation of rearranging stuff around small tables in my favourite spots like Starbucks without looking like I'm setting up an office there! In the end, the Qosmio now already happy pass ownership to a nice South African friend of mine, who he himself is treating it like a desktop instead of anything portable (ie a laptop).

Which is why I draw the line to maximum of 15 inch for me to lug it around and for the laptop itself to be considered a "portable" unit. Anything more than that size, and the weight that comes with it, would probably have me revisit the same situation I had with the Qosmio before. And now, comparing the M11X and my old M15X, even though the M15X has more power under its hood, I'd rather game on the M11X because it is always with me all the time. A gaming laptop is only useful when it is being used, and for it to be used, it needs to be with you all the time. If a "laptop" is predestined to stay on a particular spot most, if not all the time, getting a desktop is more logical than a laptop.

My routine now, I carry my M11X everywhere I go. Because it is now "portable" enough, in terms of size and weight, to do so.

ADDENDUM: This would probably be the next mouse to get!

Thanks for the insight stringfellow..hmmm..alright then, i guess its gonna be a normal desktop for me then....m11x in the future for a portable gaming laptop hehe...

I'm bringing my M11X for the trip to Universal Studios Singapore, I'll check if Hard Rock Hotel has complimentary internet access included with the stay package. Will just buy it through Steam, and leave it downloading all day long while I play in the theme park.

Also going to need the M11X to do some light photo and video editing from the Panasonic GH1 and Sanyo HD guncam I'm gonna use to document the trip. A moment of truth to see if the M11X is up to the task or not when it comes to HD editing.

Any lightweight photo/video editing software suggestions, fellas?

i would say around 5kg. no bag can fulfill its needs, but the Orion. LOL

ask this kind of question in alienware thread sure u wil get an alienware answer, in other words, mostly u will be hearing bias answer xD

just my 2 cent..

i wil got for alienware cuz i like the design. to me, i will put design and bran first, spec wise next.. hehehehe.. thats my bias answer =D

R1 and R2 mobo is not the same.

thats the answer.

guys,i'm thinking of buying the m17x soon..
but i'm maybe buying the lowest specs of the m17x..

so...i have a few questions..
should i or should i not wait for the pc fair?
cuz dell is offering the sli,but they keep extending this offer n now it ends on the 1st april..
so how?
i'm afraid if i wait for the pc fair..i will loose out on the sli offer..
but i'm also afraid if i dont wait till the pc fair..there will still be the sli offer there plus some other cool upgrades or offers..
haizzz..

n one more thing..if i could upgrade one thing on the m17x lowest specs,what would it be?
i'm thinking of choosing between the processor from 2.53ghz to 2.8ghz..
or upgrading the hd display from 900p to 1200p..

so pls help me out with this matter guys..
thanks beforehand!

I suggest you wait as well. I feel something new might be coming out since DDR5 Cards are in the market, and knowing ALIENWARE being known for having up to date hardware, they won't take it well seeing Sager already incorporating SLI GTX 285M cards into their unites and ASUS already having DDR ATI 5870 card in theirs. I expect ALIENWARE to hit back at them hard with a new lineup of internals so just wait and see. I woulnd't advice you to take the bottom line even though it comes with dual ATI 280M Cards.... Thats just my opinion.....

hehez.... i gonna get m15x in US.. hopefully by that time got r2 edi..
not going for m17x cuz of portability.. hehe

anywayz, i recommend you to get now, if u r deeply poisoned.. lke everynite think bout and it causes insomnia.

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!
