so i can say ur also come wit the WWAN cable right
yup mine use R2 monitor as well...but the base cover are still R1
so the problem eventually will come back like mine...

planning to DIY the base structure after the warranty finish.
by applying harden cement to it...usually cement are use for repair the car engine block
hope that will do the trick...

Reason?
You do know the price between these two are almost doubled aye?

PS: I'd avoid razshit at any time. I'd agree their mouse pads are good though.

I see, then i hope it delay the problem then. Since when you replace your screen?

mine had the cracking sound several times before it decided to give way for real. although it lasted me almost 6 months.

photos attached:

Right hinge broken


Left side still in good condition


Left vs Right comparison


Uneven closure of the lid since the hinge broke (notice the gap on the right)

Quality wise this is quite common for the M11x sadly..

Damn my Alien went into a coma, it couldn't start up, couldn't boot up the start menu!
In the I had to use the Dell DataSafe Local Backup and restored everything back to factory settings!
Lost everything, have to install back one by one!!!
Some critical error cause by some windows driver

That bad? why didn't you insert a Windows Repair Disc and try to repair from there?

wow ur is soooo serious dood..

@ff8ong
if i'm not mistaken it was 3 to 4 month ago i think....
I think we should always let the lit open when we at home
only close them when carrying them out

It tried repairing
But it couldn't resolve the matter!

why my M11x dont have this problem?

Matter of time I suppose?
Try and look around and it's a very common issue among M11x. - -

well, my M11x is older than any M11xin the market(Prototype)

will this happen to m17x ?

When I say matter of time..I don't mean that lol.
I'm just saying time for your m11x have not come yet

Anyway, perhaps they used different type of material for the pre-release or what you call..Prototype.


I don't know.
Well it could? Who knows.

Though I looked at m15x's hinge, if that thing could possibly broke, it won't be a natural cause lol. (Cast iron for the hinge..>_>)
PS:If you guys have not noticed yet, let me share a piece of fun fact, the heaviest weight contributed in a M15x, is not the body/chassis itself, it's the LCD panel and hinge.
