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?

i got around 7 hours hours with integrated graphics, WiFi on and brightness at 1-2 bar. merely web browsing. are you on integrated or GT335M? 2.5-3 hours for me on dedicated graphics.

3 hours plus with integrated graphics, not with 335m on.. hmmm.. hope its not a battery prob..

when its possible, you wont want it anymore because there will be stronger cards coming out. so stop dreaming and buy the latest tech the engineers can provide and be happy with it.

reporting in..
my R1 with no OC ran good exactly 1 month today. games that i play currently:

1. DA: Origins - mixed of high and medium settings, native resolution
2. DOW 2 - mixed high and med settings, native resolution
3. RE: 5 - high settings on Dx9 highest resolution in game setting
4. Far Cry 2 -mixed high n med setting, native resolution.

i follow these rule of thumb while gaming:
1. turn off shadows
2. medium physics
3. try to utilize native resolution = turn off anti aliasing
4. max out shaders, details combo.

unable to utilize FRAPs as from what i've read at notebookreviews.com m11x thread, it slows down system while running at the background. all games are playable frames per sec (i'd expect it to be >30 fps).

what's that? sry I noob~ just curious what's AlienWorkshop~  icon_question.gif

hehe... if they try to touch and I mean even a single touch on our lappie... we can just bludgeon them to death by whacking their head with the lappie's hard 'metallic' shell until their skulls bleed~ xD and they suffer a painful death~  brows.gif

yup.. AlienWorkshop was a crazed brand in late 90's man.. it got everything covered from pants to wallets.. so old dawgs saw my little m11x made a joke about it. hahaha. " dah keluar balik ker brand AlienWorkshop ni? ingatkan buat pakaian jer.." hahaha.. yeah.. even got glow in the dark t shirts back in the day. lol...
