I like Acer, Support Acer.... And Also Alienware, but NO NO NO NO NO NO APPLE

Have u ever try apple ? Acer build quality can't even come near to Macbook white(lowest end). Ya mac is expensive, u can pay same price and get better spec with Acer but why?
This is because in order to run window smoothly u need damn high spec. I try Macbook white(lowest version), it run Mac OS smooothly. Window can't even come near.
Macbook design is superb, they not only focus on performance but there are many minor thing that once u use it u will understand. Look at the multi touch pad, magnectic adapter with long/short wire option, backlight LED (mac was one of the earlier one), i remember when i get my Macbook few year ago they already using WiFi draft N, bluetooth 2.1 all built in. Mac know what is important and that we use most. If not because of Starcraft 2 i will never come back to window. Soon once they fix the SC2 issue running on mac, i will swich back to Mac.

A post by me about Dell customer service: http://emino.info/2010/07/03/dell-customer-service/

Just read your story, i totally agree with you dell have best service in town. QC i think dell really sucks i think even aver is better. I change my LCD 3 time also got dead pixel. Dell offer me the forth time to change but they said cannot promise no dead pixel, any dead pixel below 5 is consider standard. This time i give up, it annoying to dismantle my laptop so often( not even a month). Dell level 2 support call me personally tongue.gif but i think the support did a good job, but dell manufacture hell no.. DELL pls improve your QC.

it's supposed to throttle down the processing power to save up battery power of your laptop... but it can't be turned on while on battery mode though~  shakehead.gif so basically it's one of those 'cacat' extra feature~ whistling.gif

Dell quality very sucks...
Today i went try gaming headset Alienware & Razer. I found that the sound quality is so lousy and not acceptable. Even the volume is damn low. Is there any better quality one that can recomend?

i dint know much about the temp in asus but based on the review this is what they say:-
http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Asus-N...ok.29437.0.html

"The GeForce GT 335M's temperature increases to an acceptable 78°C under load. The Core i7-620M gets a bit warmer with up to 85°C, which certainly isn't an optimal, but nevertheless still completely harmless rate."
My m11x with the battery in while gaming has never reach that high temp before..

fps on games benchmark on asus also not convincing..i expect the performance to blow m11x away but it isn;t
*
personally i don't like Asus after sales service. Dell have better after sales service.
