QUOTE(EuphoniC @ Aug 1 2010, 01:00 AM) @Mr Docter Dear doctor i was totally in love with Alienware, wikipedia call this "love at first sight". I have wanted to by one but my budget is only around rm4k - 5k. Enlighten me ................... you can easily grab one M11x with your budget. but if you still eyeing for M15x, i might can help you but you have to topup a bit, at least till 5.5k+.  /feel free to PM me regarding this matter because this thread is dedicated mainly for technical Q&As, opinion, upgrades etc. i feel quite not comfortable if this thread will looks like personal not just for me, but for the rest of us too

QUOTE(lksing78 @ Aug 1 2010, 03:00 AM) Puyoh business blooming hooo.. maybe one day i'll upgrade to m15x..   anyway, i still waiting for the release of Fermi into Alienware laptop. it seems Nvidia still headache to manage the heat emitted from that monster. if not, surely it being release already at the time. and some of the rumors said that ATi is preparing to release highest end of their HD5000 Series - ATi HD 5970 with 256 bit Memory Bus

^ you mean Fermi? ADD : i might be slowpoke but latest version of Alienware Command Center already being released. just simply open your current Command Center and the updater will run by itself This post has been edited by Mr.Docter: Aug 1 2010, 02:12 PM

QUOTE(Noodles @ Aug 1 2010, 11:01 PM) Let say my unit come with 500gb hdd and i change to SSD. Will this void the warranty of the laptop? nope at all. in fact, for M17x, there is special compartment that specifically dedicated to RAM and HDD, so we can easily upgrade/downgrade it

QUOTE(Noodles @ Aug 2 2010, 10:10 AM) Thanks. But my previous laptop Toshiba, at the screw part it do have a warranty sticker on it. if we open the screw and caused the sticker to tear off, it would void the warranty. Not sure whether alienware have that kind of sticker or not  yes, Alieware have that sticker but its stick on the CPU and mobo only. i don't really remember about GPU, but i do think there is none. to access CPU, mobo and GPU, you have to open the touch panel and keyboard, where the step are quite complicated. thats why Alienware separate the compartment of RAM and HDD so we can access easily without any hassle

QUOTE(MIVECburuk @ Aug 3 2010, 05:44 PM) I understand about the turbo boost thing...the thing is, will it have any huge difference between those two especially while gaming? I actually thinking of getting an M11x but i need to know the difference in performance between those two CPU. Actually, I just wanna save a couple of bucks  little effect or almost unnoticeable improvement for gaming since game engine will utilize GPU more instead of CPU.

QUOTE(MIVECburuk @ Aug 3 2010, 07:44 PM) is it safe to say that wether it's i3 or i5 for the m11x, the performance while gaming is not much different? Added on August 3, 2010, 7:46 pmWhat about games like CoH & Red Alert 3? will it run smoothly on full setting? seriously, take i5. its better than i3 but slightly lower than i7. price is kinda sweet too.

QUOTE(awyongcarl @ Aug 4 2010, 02:51 PM) How many days usually it takes for them to acknowledged the order? Got a phone call from bank and authorized it yesterday, so I thought I should be receiving an email from them today..Hopefully nothing goes wrong...:/ since you got the phonecall from bank yesterday, i believe your unit is already in the assembly process already. and don't believe https://cs.ap.dell.com/support/orderstatus/....aspx?c=my&l=en too much. the process is much faster than that. you will see from the website that its still on transit stage when you already receive SMS from Dell courier that they will send your item a day after that
