Dear Alienware friends,

I'm from Sarawak. Got my m15x on day one and realized that the touchpad does not work..even after the synaptics installed. I uninstalled Synaptics and by right Windows 7 should have detected the touchpad hence automatically installed its own driver. But nth happened so CONFIRMED its the hardware problem for the touchpad.

The seller is a very nice person and said that he will fight for a new laptop to replace this. What I wanna ask is that HOW HIGH CHANCE it is to get a new one? Honestly, I will be really annoyed and sad if Alienware rejected this and replace with hardware parts instead of sending a new one.

Who would want their laptop to be tore apart, inspected and did smth inside on just Day 3 when u bought a expensive Alienware brand laptop...I'm really worried bout this

My frens,

This was 2 days ago I opened the box, took out the laptop at my home. Connect to the adapter , turn on the computer, loading the windows first time and straight TOUCHPAD cannot be used...Yesterday tried my best to install and uninstall Synaptics but no use.

In this case, car knocked down theory doesnt apply anymore...I opened the box first time and turned on the laptop and got a defective touchpad laptop...and to be honest, u bought a defective laptop on first day and need it to be repaired on 3rd day...wow...u can accept when this happens maybe 6 months later...but on the 1st day u realized the touchpad is defective and wanna get it repaired instead of changing a new one...it hurts bro

ready stock are sold out, now taking pre order.due to shortage problem, might takes up to 2-4 weeks, as u can make full payment and the laptop will direct ship yo you.
Be       , and ask for replacement, i can comfirm u 100% get new unit(as replace unit)

hahaha, thx thx. buyer happy, me also happy
dont worry, urs wont delay as i promised u

Roccat Kave is so expensive >.<""
Is there any similar headphones which cost around rm100-200 ?

I just want something comfy to my ears, will try on the Razer Orca 2mr ..
Both of my ears are going to pop out like Michael Jackson's nose if i stick to that AVF headphone . .

Just hope somebody will sell his second hand Roccat Kave to me with cheaper price, or else i can just forget it 

Agreed  everyday kena sayang and wipe clean, haha finger print magnet.

yeaps, so far can't find tailor made ones from ZAGG except for the previous gen alienwares - http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield/alienw...ins-shields.php.

Haha wow looks kinda cool skin for m11x - http://www.amazon.com/Protective-Decal-Sti...=pd_sim_sbs_e_5 

but console gaming is restricted to the built-in proc and gc, where pc gaming u can increase the performance thru upgrading. and also u can adjust the setting accordingly to ur system setup.

but still some console games can onli be played on console and some pc games are onli available for pc...

M15x also only has 3. 2 Earphones and I mic. Salesperson told me I would need the Full Fledge Soundcard jacks to use the Kave and told me if I didn't it would be a waste...

That card is around RM200++ and Kave is aorund RM300++
All together should be around RM500++ then . . 

kinda not worth it in my opinion, unless you can afford it, then it will be another story . .

only M17x is FULLY capable of handling 5.1 configuration, as explained by Julchin below. you need 4 input jacks including 1 for microphone.

when you use Kave with M15x, certain physical speaker inside the headphone itself will not functioning due to no input.

even if you are using it with onboard sound chipset from M17x, the subwoofer effect is nowhere near a level it supposed to be heard, or vibrate to poison you more. plus, you can't find any sound driver that capable of handling Kave except the one that supplied with my external soundcard.

you never felt one because i guess you are using with onboard sound chipset. thats why.
the salesperson is right. you need 3 jack input excluding 1 for mic, to fully unleased 5.1.

im not sure if everyone is aware of this.
few things need to consider, when the product have "known issue" and if its going to dangerous, it going to be recall world wide.
this happen before to few manufacturer battery and ac adapter

2nd if the product having known issue such as easy broken hinge, or other part quality materiel is either they stop selling it or fix the issue.
this happen to few of dell product, you dont see M1330 and M1530 selling anymore when they realize there is known issue with Nvidia video card that cant be solved.
the video card which is on motherboard going to last 1 year max and its going to die, if you were lucky, you can get 2 years.

you will also get 1 year warranty of the motherboard and if you had replacement within that year , the motherboard automatic has another 1 year warranty till 5 years

http://en.community.dell.com/blogs/direct2...nt-details.aspx

now how does dell solve the issue and come out with new part ? if you notice on your ac adapter, battery and most of the parts in your laptop / desktop it has sticker something start like CN-0XXXX-XXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX REV A00
the last part A00 mean revision A00, sometimes your see A05 mean this part has been revise 5 times , it might have few issue before and it has been fixed. same as BIOS, you have A01, A02, A03. everytime you flash new BIOS it fix issue and sometimes might come out with new issue. if the issue cant be fix, dell for sure will stop selling because cost to repair it is not worth the money. at the time you see M11x R1 and M11x R2 using  same hinge, same body, same video card, same LCD, mean Dell is making good profit and they want to continue to improve the CPU speed by changing new motherboard. so R1 and R2 sharing almost the same parts, some major part like CPU, RAM, video card might be different. so for someone to say dell know the product have known issue and not doing anything is not true.

edit
and of course, most users use Dell because of the service not really on the product quality or price.
i had acer and HP before when i was back in studying, for acer to replace cdrom drive take nearly 2 months while dell only take 2 days.
so i stick with dell since then, was like 5 years ago since i use dell.
i had use many dell system, i can list those product or post picture if you want.
