Dell informed me (before CNY) that the delivery date for my unit is 3rd March. They only told me verbally, so it is my word against theirs. Given the huge backlog that they have to do, let's see whether they can pull this off.

Yup confirmed. Mine also moved into the same status.

See when do they deliver the machine. "Work in Progress" may take a long while. I'm still counting on Dell not being able to deliver then can claim freebies. I sent them an e-mail a few days and they are still have yet to reply.

Those wanting to upgrade their warranty from 1 year to 3 years with complete cover, can do so but need to call in to their SA right when they get their notebook.

You'll pay slightly more than the RM473 listed in the system.

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

Here's mine

11-Feb-2010 Order Received
17-Feb-2010 Work in Progress
20-Feb-2010 Manufacturing Build Complete
20-Feb-2010 Ship from Factory
21-Feb-2010 In Transit
21-Feb-2010 Uplift

Seems not too far away already ... yea!

@string

You could be the 1st one to get yr M11x in here! (or perhaps in Malaysia)

I'm rather reserved on this idea coz when you want to sell your NB 2nd hand, dunno ppl want it or not. It's gonna look like a stolen goods coz it got another person's name on it!

Yeah ... notice my lappy is very cool as compared to the many notebooks I have previously owned over the years. In the next couple of years when it's time to renew my lappy, I'll probably go for another Alienware again. Now I need another power adapter to work both @ home & in the office. (Waiting for Dell to quote me) I can't help but to notice the head is probably the same as per the Latitude models ?

I haven't been playing games like you guys ... just happy with playing YouTube on it with no lag. My old machine couldn't handle a lag free video playback on YouTube. With have some games installed over the next few weeks !

Call the SA direct. But success of the negotiation depends on your skills and luck. Likely for success if you order the upgraded sets and not just the basic sets.

Perhaps yes but you have to wait a long time before shops starts to have this. Why don't you just order it online ?

Guys ...

How do I set the NVidia control for the games that I d/l from Steam? I have Warhammer 40K 2 running and I want to tweak the graphics settings.

No need to get any software. Windows 7 and Vista can do it for ya. Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management -> Disk Management

I can manage about 3 hours only with WiFi and Bluetooth enabled. 6 hours likely you go bare minimum with everything. No WiFi, minimum screen brightness, no bluetooth, etc.

The Alienware M11x suits my travelling requirements and that's the main reason I got it. Plus, it's cool! (as in design and doesn't overheats like all my other lappy)

BTW ... just finished Warhammer 40K and finds the game to be rather short. The last battle really taxed my M11x, basically the game slowed down so much.

V4 is now imminent!

Guys ... my gratitude to those who mentioned about the SRS Audio Sandbox. Everything sounds better now !

Guys ... I just noticed this as well.
My service tag ID is practically disappearing! It looks like it was painted so "the paint" is practically 'peeling' away.
Perhaps the folks here experience the same thing.

Not sure what happened since it is most of the time either sitting on my cooler @ the office / home.
