- Brief History -
yea yea i know its boring, but as true Alienware owner, you should know it!

QUOTE
- Alienware is an American  computer hardware company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dell, Inc. -
- Alienware was founded in 1996 by Nelson Gonzalez and Alex Aguila -
- the Alienware name was chosen because of the founders' fondness for the hit television series The X-Files, hence the theme to their products, with names such as Area-51, Hangar18, m15x, and Aurora. -
- It mainly assembles third party components into desktops and laptops with custom enclosures for high-performance gaming. -
- Alienware was originally established to tap a niche in the high performance gaming market -
- Also offers for sale rebadged computer peripherals, such as headsets, computer mice, monitors and keyboards. -
- The company products are also differentiated by their science-fiction based designs. -
- Dell considered buying Alienware since 2002, but did not take any action until March 22, 2006, when it agreed to purchase the company. -
- Initially, Dell maintained its competing XPS line of gaming PCs, often selling computers with the same specifications. -
- On spring of 2008, the XPS brand was scaled down. -
- On June 2, 2009, The M17x was introduced as the First Alienware/Dell branded system. -
- Alienware now represents the premium performance space in Dell’s consumer family of products -
- This launch also expands Alienware’s global reach from six to 35 countries. -

X58 chipset supports both CF (natively) and SLI (provided NV endorses it)...

there's no X55 but there's P55...

same thing as X58... native support for CF, and requires NV approval for SLI...

HUH?

The links there goes to:

1. Directly on Dell Support page.
2. A freeware to change alogon screen on 7.

Probably just a false alarm on your anti virus. What are you using? hmm.gif

i think the bag is not so suitable for gaming session. it will act as a heat insulator. hot air cannot flow out when its inside the bag.. hehe but all in all, very very nice bag biggrin.gif

got space for fan i know. but the bottom is made of fabric de ma.. it will trap heat. unlike table or hard surface, it is easier for heat to leave.
what pattern? i think its a perfect bag.


Added on May 29, 2010, 12:00 amperfect as in the design/physical look.

hey guys, check out picture 4 and 7. both of them seems like different unit. cuz the alien head logo is facing towards the handle, and the other one is terbalik. the one with wrist strap one. do u guys notice it?

u compare pic no4 and no7.. and the last pic also can.. the alienhead logo can be twisted around? the one with wrist strap is different with the one in picture no4.
picture no4 shows alienhead facing in the opposite direction of handler. then pic no7 shows alienhead facing in the direction of handler.. @.@

funny rite? but i watch, examine, look, blabla sooooo carefully and see. both of them seem like different models.

cuz u cant rotate the logo. u try look carefully, if rotate will look funny.. and u try compare the design of this two pictures. as in the position whether its facing to the handler or opposite the handler.

there is nothing wrong with your specs, at all.

close all program in your desktop, check your Windows Power Setting, Stealth status and driver version.

there is no significant different between Ultimite and Home, except if you want to use XP-version of Windows 7 (i forgot what its called though...)

google it. you will have a tonnes of results.

if not for my desire for both the Games center and XP Mode, i would ve use Home Premium instead of Ultimate...

wait, i could ve used Pro instead, since i ve a MS Sidewinder mouse... sweat.gif

anyway, use Home Premium if u dun need XP mode and the extras (like additional 35 languages, BitLocker, etc...)

if not for my desire for both the Games center and XP Mode, i would ve use Home Premium instead of Ultimate...

wait, i could ve used Pro instead, since i ve a MS Sidewinder mouse... sweat.gif

anyway, use Home Premium if u dun need XP mode and the extras (like additional 35 languages, BitLocker, etc...)

i know it sound weird, but Sheath Mode CAN'T be run just using battery.. sweat.gif

for me, using those locking software making it more suspicious that its contain sensitive information. just hide it deeply and make it un-accessible by changing the setting of the folder. plus, you can apply a password to every document (Microsoft Document) to strengthen your defense. brows.gif

Just few moments ago, Intel has officially announced that their Nehalem-based 32nm Core processors - Core i3, i5  and i7 - will soon be available in the form of ultra-low voltage (ULV) processors. Designed for ultra-thin notebooks, they are actually pretty similar to their full-voltage siblings in terms of features as the series signature technologies such as Intel Turbo Boost, Hyper Threading and the built-in HD Graphics are still intact within these new dual-core processors.

For starters, they will be available in four flavours:

   - Core i7-660UM (1.33GHz, turbo speed up to 2.40GHz)

    - Core i5-540UM (1.20GHz, turbo speed up to 2.00GHz)

    - Core i5-430UM (1.06GHz, turbo speed up to 1.73GHz)


    - Core i3-330UM (1.20GHz)

In addition to them, Intel has also introduced two more dual-core ULV processors - the Pentium U5400 (1.20GHz) and Celeron U3400 (1.06GHz). All these new ULV processors are already on their way to be equipped into bunch of new laptops made by Acer, Asus, Lenovo and MSI that are going to be available on the market starting from this June onwards…which are in just few days away. Get ready to check them out then!

pwn it kaw kaw???

Core i is only 10% better clock for clock, raw performance wise...

the architecture didn't change much, Core i is more of packaging all the controllers into the CPU to increase the memory performance (which AMD has been doing so for nearly 1 decade...)

pawn in term of benchmarks result is not same with pawn in term of gaming FPS. those Turbo and HTT is generally useless when we talk about gaming.

so why company still use them in their gaming product? because Intel say so. hopefully AMD will save the situation laugh.gif

about the Area-51 refurbished, its specs is really outdated. but it still a nice collective item! biggrin.gif

Core i7 in laptop, is totally, a marketing stratergy, Core speed like shit....
i prefer AMD "True Core" performance vry well in gaming, or Intel Core 2 QUAD QX9300, a vry nice proccessor
what u guys see the benchmark, is just the performance of calculation, Core i series have hyperthreading of course it will perform better, but in some application, it is sucks...

HTT + low clock is almost a disaster for games... in most cases, HTT would actually reduce in game performance...

as a gamer, i would rather go for the tried and tested Core 2 Quad or Phenom II x4...

if you play simulation games like FSX and FS2004 you really need a lot of CPU power... even for FSX on a Quad Extreme the best u can get is a average of 20+ fps... GPU doesn't matter~

well, branded system is always not worth it in the eyes of DIY-ers...

it's always cheaper and have longer warranty when u DIY...

some warranty lenght:
CPU - 3yrs
HDD - 5yrs
RAM - life-time
GPU - 1yr (but heck, they dun last long anyway with the rate tech develops)

hmmm.. i think most probably the important parts they have ba.. mayb they will out of stock for creative xifi sound card or some very specifi stuffs.. other than that, i beleive they have the essentials ready like motherboard, dvd drive, harddisc and etc etc.. but depends ba.. i like about diy is becoz of the very nice price and easier warranty..

Just announced at CeBit... As usual, I'm just interested in the barebone casing. biggrin.gif

As for the M11x, it can outgun every single 11" out there and even comes close to some of the 13" and 14" too.

Welcome to the club.

Im not using the M17x but I'm running the ATI 5870 in my M15x so we can compare notes.

Here's a short comparison between the GTX 260M and the ATI 5870. Will have to reinstall NVidia Physx as certain games like METRO 2033 and programs like 3DMarksVantage will prompt for Physxloader.dll to be present before it will work. I had mine taken out due to preparations to install my 5870. From initial testings, the 5870 has significant improvements over the 260M in games like Battelfield Bad Company 2. Will update more benchmarks and 3dmarks after I've gotten all the drivers sorted. Also, my aliensense has now ceased to detect my face nor even start during startup which is an issue I have to resolve. But temps for the 5870 is in its 70s so I'm keeping my fingers crossed my Artic Cooling paste is doing its job.....

it seems everything goes quite well. regarding Aliensense, have you check your Alienware Command Center? its not a direct complication from changing GPU, i believe.

Yes it not supposed to affect. But I worry I might have deleted something while cleaning the registry but I checked before I proceeded. And I haven't forgotten the vacuum pic which I will upload here. From now on its monitoring the temps and getting physx installed and of course, uploading the pics here....

As for the 980xm, I don't think I will want to slap it on considering it might cost RM4K or more which I think I'd rather buy a new future M17x which comes with it and the GTX 480M...

8GB RAM and BD-ROM is kinda overkill for me.

and no, upgrading HD5870 by yourself is not a smart thing to do when you do have option to upgrade under Dell's warranty.

In terms of aesthetics, my M15x is build pretty solidly and even after opening and closing the housing many times, it all still clicks into place. The only thing I have issues with is the lousy screws which easily gets warped or the grooves out of shape once screwed one too many times but its only a hindrance if you're the type that likes to open the housing to apply paste or clean the vents etc......

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. biggrin.gif 3.5 hours straight gaming during summer on both GPU, still never reach 60. brows.gif

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

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.

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. flex.gif

Well I guess this is typical Malaysian technical answer try to get this overseas see if they get sued or not for defaming their own Company. If I were to get this answer I would demand the guy to give me a written letter bout this and I will submit it to Dell USA. brows.gif I complain bout overheating on my XPS and earlier one of those technical support people say it's like that then when I demand they give me a written answer and to provide full details bout it he straight pass me to his supervisor to answer me. End up they had to send technician to come and change my heat sink + fan and apply thermal paste. yawn.gif But temps still didn't reduce so their answer is since they did what they could they can only replace the whole mobo if got fault, since now just overheat they can't do much edi. rclxub.gif

@ lksing78 : first impression is important mate. maybe if you clean up the dust, polish it a bit then it will looks like you care more about your laptop and attract the attention that this defect is from their fault, not yours.

anyhow, 'wear & tear' is not covered my most of the warranty in the world.

the best you can do (and i recommend it) to get a few pictures from different angles and stress to them that this is not your fault and Dell's warranty should cover this.

been with Dell since my first desktop (almost 10 years ago) and i can assure you that their warranty/CompleteCover service should be much better than that. prolly you got yourself a bad CS. on the laptop side, both my old Inspirons got their loose (and i mean loose, not even broken) hinge replaced (with a brand new lid cover as well), the 6400 got the whole keyboard replaced with just a loose 'U' key.

it might depends on how you speak to 'em at times. try calling other customer service agent and see how it goes. smile.gif

who is the guy who answered ur phone? the bad one i know is named steve. btw, ur warranty is 3 years complete cover? if not , i think they wont help fix..

the period of the CompleteCover is never an issue. it will be the same quality of service and Dell must honour the warranty. unless your unit only comes with 1 year CC and it broke down in the 2nd year. smile.gif

Thank for your moral support guys
I know that I will not give up easily on this matter
and I don blame on the service operator either ...they only done their job and follow the company rules.
and order from their supervisor..as i've been in their shoe before.
And since we know that this matter is under warranty
i hope this matter can be setttle peacefully
i'll try to make another call on this matter

Actually it's really typical Malaysian help support attitude, they are not as well trained as overseas or sometimes we get other country help support to assist us. If 1st one can't help then try second one, then again and again. Sure one will help u out. I got an old XPS which still got warranty, waiting for it to die and claim warranty again. brows.gif

mine was M15X so i have a few other choices. middle compartment is quite useful as i have been using 3 compartments backpack for quite some time.
rm249 is quite resonable compared to USD 99, just hope that it is three compartments

pls show some pics once you receive you orion backpack : )

wanna ask, i'm still new with the laptop. enjoyed it very much. finished Modern Warfare 2 yesterday and it was awesome. look even better then the ps3 version. lol. got some Q though.

1. cant help but notice the battery indicator at the back of the laptop (m11x), the one next to alienware (writen in alien alphabets), is it working/ lights up when disconnected from a power source?

2. does the left side usb port charges phones, etc when the laptop is turned off?

yes m11x is possible but this will drain your battery and reduce the lifespan of your battery.

for m15x and m17x i dun think it's good..we dun have enuf battery haha

When I was using the GTX 260M with or without a cooler, taking my room temperature to be about 27celcius, I've never gotten above 92c. When my original GTX Gave a reading of 92c, I knew something wasn't right and I called DELL to come check. They replaced my 260M with a new one and even brought additional thermal pads. After that, playing the same way gave me temperatures not exceeding 78 - 80c. And even with my overclocking, the max it went was 82 - 83c. My suggestion is to call DELL and ask their engineers to come over to check. Touching 100c is too high and might melt some components....

They did offer me HUGE discount (the operator will get back to me on this) if I choose to upgrade (buy new one, and send this one back to them) to the new M11X since I have lots of issues.

They said the current M11X is not upgradeable to the new processor, unless you change the mobo, but the price will not worth it.

well, until Dell puts in M17x specs into a M11x form factor i think it's not a worthwhile upgrade...since only the processor is upgraded.

Do u force vsync in nvidia control panel? Because i need to force it on to reduce the flickering issue. I mean, if i do not turn it on, it will flickering randomly, sometimes too much. If i do turn it on, the flickering incidents will be significantly less as in its happening once per hour, but still there. sad.gif To make matter worse, my games performing less admirably with the forcing on of the vsync.
I dont like the prospect of having to send my newly arrived laptop. the postage costs is killing me. Im beginning to think of trading it with the refresh m11x.

Well, some problem do need to inform them for them to know what the problem is...and my friend AW M11x also suffers the hinge problem and already contacted Dell a few times regarding this nod.gif...Yet no answer yet from Dell because they said got no such problem with the unit and it was caused by the user...so my friend did sent a link to them where various problem of hinge in the Net is revealed...

Also want this problem to be clarified and so my friend will stop bugging me laugh.gif...

youll be better off buyin
you need to change the mobo, which will cost around 70% of the laptop price + upgrade prices for the processor. The Dell person who handled my case advised against it since you'll be better off buying a new one.

I am however was offered discounts if i want to do that, since my M11X had been problematic. They say they can takeaway my current M11X and sell me a new M11X with the new proc for a nice price. I'm gonna wait for the support person to get back to me on that matter.

rclxms.gif Better insist on at least 80-90% discount since ur like trading in ur old laptop. Some even get 100% refund from their original price and use the amount to purchase a new laptop. Don't let those support talk u into paying more than what ur suppose to. If ur laptop is less than 1 month then u must insist on 100% refund. If more than 6 months then it will depend on their rate of tear and wear percentage. Anyway no matter how, u still got the right to insist on a full refund as the laptop is giving u problems and not coz u wanna change to a different laptop. Make your point clear and they will try to sort you out. Again don't let those so called "smart" help support people talk u into paying more than what ur suppose to.

Well welcome to the club. Which specs did you get btw?

@Doc:Just benched the 5870 with the 3DMarks Vantage with all drivers in place and working well. Scored 10039(GPU 9484, CPU 12180 no Physx) which shows that the ATI Card is pretty good at OC'ing. I can't imagine the score of the M17x with CF 5870 and 920XM though we don't have anyone here with that configuration. I think the highest for the M17x with the 5870 CF is 820QM Right?

Upgrading from i5 spec to same spec of i7 model cost more. i7 stock configured model the best one if anyone want M11X with i7. Yeah, hybrid drive FTW!

Btw, i still think 3820TG better hehehe. Too bad local spec inferior to oversea spec

I'm praying hard for that NOT to happen. Otherwise gotta sell this baby.

Edit: I'm really glad Dell engineers don't f*ck with the laws of thermal physics.

That is highly unlikely. I don't think they wanna eat into M15x territory. The only reason to sell the M15x is when a new one comes out with maybe a single GTX 480M as opposed to a newer M17x with a SLi enabled 480M though all these are just dreams/daydreams I keep getting..... doh.gif

Actually they should up the gpu to 4xx series, 460 ? 470 ? But mostly if got new refresh could be 450 series. But it's cool as Malaysia is not too far behind with the Alienware specs. M11X with I series UL processors.

the problem is power consumption with the 400 card... a desktop 480 already taking up >200W... a 480M has half the clock speed of 480, so theoratically half the power consumption...

but hello... 100W power... wat the hell...

power has been a problem with NV cards since the 200 series...

I think NVidia cards will be equipped in higher end PCs. With the advent of the OPTIMUS and Physx, they can't go wrong with their GPUs. After using the GTX 260M , My bet is that NVidia will still dominate the market not to mention, to feature as a standard in every game. You gotta have Physx for high end gaming and to not sound like a fanboy, I'm using ATI Now.....

Wait till we get the 2GB GTX 480M on our Flagship models. I think its safe to say that a single card carrying 2GB running on 100W is better than 2 ATI's running on CF requiring 2X65W right?

Nope, we all customize and try every possible combination to get our money's worth. You might wanna call the Sales Assistant and see what they quote for u cos the price might be cheaper than customizing online... smile.gif

I thought the Raptor is only compatible with 3.5" because of the heatsink?

Dear En. Muhaimin,

As attached are the price for the latest spec.

If the management approve the exchange process, the rate are as below :

**Rm 5148 – rm 4199 + (freight charges rm80) = rm1029 (additional charges after offset)

**the new M11x price subjected to change for any amendment in the quotation.

Please let me know if anything


If Dell approves this, I'm going to get new M11X with Core i7 ULV AS A REPLACEMENT FOR JUST THOSE PRICE! And the price includes 3 years Complete Cover.

Dude, my machine had 4 cases of parts replacements in 4 months, since I bought it 4 months ago. Clearly something was wrong.

Lets see whether it gets approved or not first. Although, I do expect the price to maybe jumps to 1.5k. I dunno, we'll see..

I didn't manage to try fitting it to my M15x as I didn't bring it to work today just only when I arrive home I only manage to test it. Fits perfectly, I kinda wonder how they manage to put in a M15x and M17x is it by using sleeve ?

Wait till we get the 2GB GTX 480M on our Flagship models. I think its safe to say that a single card carrying 2GB running on 100W is better than 2 ATI's running on CF requiring 2X65W right?
*
yes, logically the output you get in real gaming will be definitely better for single GPU from dual GPU, since optimization for dual GPU is not reaching a level of GTX280M x 2, for example.

for still who don't understand the concept (example only):
FPS for single GTX280M @ all high for Shift : 50FPS.
FPS for Dual GTX280M @ same setting for same game =/= 100FPS. just barely 60+.

don't believe benchmark result too much. its not same in the real gaming experience.

no can't do sir.

M15x mobo just can't detect GTX280M even bios is updated. been tried by our Alienware mate previously.

the best you can do is to upgrade to HD5870, just like Julchin_09 did rclxms.gif

agree with Putochip.

256GB SSD + 500GB 7200RPM HDD is sufficient. lesser problem if compared to x2 10kRPM HDD.

its ATi HD 5870.

around 1.5k from eBay/Amazon if imma not mistaken. but note that quite a hassle to upgrade a GPU especially if this is your first time.

you can PM Julchin_09 for more details. i think he'll happy to help you with that matter smile.gif

The outlook I am not sure but vbios wise Asus haven't issue a new version yet. Sager, Msi already got fix for the power saving mode instead of locking the memory to 1000 and the gpu goin down to only 500. Some have tried manually editing their vbios with rbedit and manage to get ati overdrive and most important is less gsob or bsod or any od. Some report the memory voltage and gpu voltage is too low while others mention it's a memory batch problem. The HD 5780M is actually similiar to the previous desktop 5770 and 5870 series even the problems from desktop applies to the mobile. Reports mention it's a batch problem while others mention it's a vbios. My G73JH-A2 had no problem with the stock drivers but once I upgrade to the 10.5 random gsod occurs. It seems like if I just boot up the laptop and run games it will lock up but if I slowly surf web, let the laptop warm up then run games the problem won't occur. rclxub.gif

Rumours is the gpu needs to warm up b4 goin into high performance mode. shocking.gif

unless something happened to your M11x like Amino going through, maybe it possible...

but if you just want to trade in, sound impossible for me.

M17x cooling design is surely protect you from heat emitted, so its not shocking if you are not complaining about temp after even 4,5 hours of straight, heavy gaming.

but just wondering the core's temp. you can use software like CPUID HWMonitor to monitor your cores temp.

yep, prioritize important stuff first nod.gif

'PROBLEM' OF DELL'S ATi HD 5870

someone (in other forum and here also like Putochip123) said that Dell's HD5870 is not same and less performance than other HD5870 out there.

after some digging, i found out that is due to default undervolted setting that by factory.
QUOTE
- It seems Alienware has actually limited the HD5870M as it's been undervolted.


but thanks God those claims is justified perfectly by 5150Joker from NBR.
QUOTE
Dell Crossfire 5870M works as they should. AMD screwed up and did not include the proper code so that they could use ATi reference drivers. This will be corrected since I contacted Dell and engineering was made aware of it. Currently, the shipping drivers are old and do hamper performance of the 5870m crossfire a bit. However, this will be rectified once AMD corrects their mistake in the next mobile Catalyst release. Currently, in GPU limiting situations I've found the Crossfire 5870s beating Crossfire 4870 anywhere from 10-25% in avg fps and sometimes up to 30% or more in min fps situations.


so for whoever own HD5870 single or CrossFire, do keep update about next Catalyst to maximized your GPU performance! icon_idea.gif
