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

Hello, got a new one. New Month, New Issue. sweat.gif

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.

hmmm...if we current users could upgrade and upgrading from C2D to i7 doesnt cost more than 1k then ill consider..

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.

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..

Dear En Muhaimin,

The internal management has approved for this as one time special arrangement.

Therefore, if you’ve confirm the spec, I will get the quotation from the sales division

If you have any concern pls let me know

Thank you

Although, sad to say from the response, it looks like normal trade in case is not really an option.

Call Dell support. They will guide you to do a built in HD test. If that failed, they will definitely send someone to replace with new HD.

FYI, I have 2 HD replaced on my M11X within 3 months of buying it.

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


Price is RM4010.....i m looking forward to my m11x.....now i m thinking what gaming mice to be purchased.....personally i m quite like Razer Orochi....but there are some ppl claim tat there is some problem with Orochi pairing with m11x....anyone can give some recommendation... tongue.gif  tongue.gif  tongue.gif  tongue.gif

Top up some more for 3 years complete cover. The price is almost half than if you wish to buy them later on, and based on recent quality of Alienware, I think its a value buy.

Not really gaming mice: but dell small bluetooth mouse is a great companion for M11X. Its only RM69 too.

Just finalized my deal with Dell.

My new M11X with Core i7 will arrive within 2 weeks time. A week after that someone will come to pick up my old M11X. They give me 1 week for backups.

Really thankful to the support officer who helped me till the end of the process. thumbup.gif

been pairing Orochi with my M11x for almost 3 months. wasn't quite comfortable with the size ever since i bought it but got used to it after some long hours with it every day. wired+wireless mouse do make it kinda a nice portable gaming mouse. the caveat would be the size though. anyway, if you're a palm user and do prefer bigger mouse, go for Mamba. smile.gif
so the top up remained at 1k? that's a great offer you got yourself there. wink.gif

1.1 something. Including delivery charge and all.

But still, yes, very great deal.
