Mine is built pretty well too, except that the power button refuses to light up when I turn on the laptop...

Yeah its kinda pricey for me
Any other option that u know fit this m17x ?
How bout the rest of the m17x user here.... what bag u guys using ?

this is considered unlucky or wat?..or DELL getting a lil bad at their quality control?..

USED?

wah....so CHEAP eH!! if new, WORTH TO THE MAX

Guys,

Does the cooler help to reduce a temp on m17x?

Im considering to purchase zalman nc2000.

It's refurbished

kuekwee | m15x | Blue-Ray | Dell Replace | 20th May 2010
kuekwee | m15x | Blue-Ray + LCD | Dell Replace | 21th May 2010
kuekwee | m15x | LCD Bright Pixel | Dell Replace LCD | 27th May 2010
kuekwee | m15x | LCD Dead Pixel | Dell Replace LCD | 3rd June 2010
kuekwee |m15x | LCD Dead Pixel | Dunno wanna change again or not...

never use any cooler before, but once my temp goes sky high till reaching 90+.

but once i clean up the GPUs heatsink, i never reach 60 on both of my GPUs.

i lol on whoever don't use Alienware but says Alienware bad at cooling. 3.5 hours straight gaming during summer on both GPU, still never reach 60.

so i don't think cooler is necessarily for M17x.

how about warranty?

you better have at least 1 year warranty dude. the quality is not really stable nowadays..

my suggestion is write a official latter to Dell Technical Support that you are facing with A LOT of problem, just within <insert duration here> and highly not satisfy with the quality of your unit.

tell them you are demanding whole replacement unit as compensation for your time spent for repairing and problem you faced after receiving your unit.

you will not harm at all. its worth to try. i definitely will send that latter if i were you mate.

thanks bro. so the cooling system is really that good

my system shipped yesterday. Cant wait to arrived here

they said they can change again but canot guarantee of 0 dead pixel. anything below 5 is consider ok..so i think i will continue to used...getting bored keep changing lcd..

its freaking good and honestly i'd surprise with its cooling system.

there is nothing surprising with single GPU can achieve as low as that temp, but when we talking about dual, its make a huge different and deep meaning.

well you still could try based on your lappy's history.

ever asked them why the quality is this bad?

dunno... but if u see my pics on the cooling method you can be guaranteed to get low temp... no need for fancy cooler pads~

he claim manufacturing standard is 5 dead or 1 bright pixel...so he said mine consider ok.. Dell QC drop a lot now days when i talk to the technician, but service still thumb up. In fact the technical support call me if i wanna change the LCD panel, but this time i 'm tired haha....So i will temporary live with it..Anyone extend the warranty to 3 years? i think really worth it

pokai edi cannot buy warranty~ brrr, damn cold in HK here... good thing as I won't be needing my laptop cooler then~

i extend warranty to 3 year..definitely worth it...

anyway my CPU never reach 60 celcius.. even after i turn on bittorrent 24 hours for 2 day straight... amazing lil machine m11x rock!!!

temporary means how long, bro?
ur face last 1-2 weeks max

Well, Asus G73JH-A1/A2 LCD quality doesnt as good as Alienware, the colour out put is sucks...
