It is clearly a design flaw, given the amount of user that has the similar problem, but dell just doesn't seems to give a shit lol.

PS: You can try and deny that, but do comes up with a reason lol.
Don't give me the crap that those user don't know how to take care of their laptop.

I've had hear a lot of that "Oh you have a choice don't you" from others people. So go on, cause I don't give a flying eff.

Sure would love to hear that from Dell themselves though.

You guys really need to realize that we, the customer are being ripoff.
Then again..Malaysia lol.
Most customers themselves don't exactly know what they know or, what they are doing anyway.

But..yes, I agree with you. Don't like it, don't buy it.
It's so so so so so soooooooo true, I can't deny that.

But to all M11x owner, I hope you all realize that this is clearly Dell being retarded and, do your part to complaint them.
Can't believe a faulty expensive crap are being sold and shipped despite all the complaints the customer filed.
And FFS, if you felt happy just because Dell replaces your brandnew laptop with a refurbish LCD, grats lol.

Lol, why are you getting fired up?
Obviously I'm directing the owners who have, or at least potentially have that problem.
And no, no improvement has been done. You can choose to be blind though.
I mean just google and read up forums. It's all there.
Then again..if you want to be a fanboy, no one is stopping you.

And when did I ever said something about being perfect?
A hinge gave up for few months of normal usage is not called "imperfect", it's called flawed, faulty, defective, whichever that you think fit.
SmartS.

Well, if one wanted to be blind, so be it.
I'm a M15x owner and I'm very happy with it.
Now I wanted to get a m11x too, for mobility sake, but given the known major issue, I'm not sure anymore.

And no, if I know the issue is right in front of my eyes, I'm not getting it.

Safar you got the point up there, but Dell isn't issuing a recall because they don't give a damn. (I seriously hope I'm wrong here)
They are just loving customer like casperito because they are easily bought by just giving them refurbished stuffs.

Individually, perhaps to you, you just have got too much time to waste. Not all of us here do.

Case scenario:-
You are doing a presentation and your m11x hinge failed you, in front of everyone. How Dell is gonna warrant that?

You are traveling to some place, say some island or oversea. The hinge failed you. How Dell can compensate that?

:/
I love Dell. But, they have got to stand and face the problem m11x is having. Please, don't tell me the perfect or not anymore, because it's obviously not, want comparison? Do you see complaint for hinge of M15/M17x as often as m11x? Face it.\

Oh and btw.

No, it's because of Fanboyism. rofl.
Believe it or not, your call.


Wrong.
Dell are made known to this issue. But they did nothing.
How do I know? I read the Dell Community forum and "Chris", one of the Dell representative in the forum told the folks that he has been bringing up that problem for every week meeting. So, what gives?

And FYI, check this out.

I don't see this on neither m15x/m17x section. Is this obvious enough?

Lol you are a fanboy. I can say that straight now.

I just want a laptop with proper hinges that will not fail me every 3-6 months. Is that too much to ask for?
if you say yes, god bless you lol.

I'm obviously not good enough nor qualified to complaint, cause I have not even order the laptop yet.
I have no problem spending a fortune, for good reason, but for a laptop that fails frequently, not so wise I'd say.
And because I've been observing this issue since the day M11x was launched, I'm angry

Everyone's gotta vent out sometimes. Forgive me.

Hmm well I don't think calling one Fanboy is an insult.
I mean if you really like one products/brand, you just can't help it can you?
I'm always called by others that I'm a Sony fanboy even though I'm not, just because most of my gadgets are sony lol. What do? Heh.
I never take these as an insult. And if you are not, sure you can deny, by all means.

Loving one products even though it sucks, neglecting all the negatives and obvious flaw on the most crucial and basic stuff, is my definition of Fanboyism.

Disagree me on what?
I sure did noticed the low pole-rate touchpad when I got my M15x.
Yeah they fixed it. Took them long enough though.

Your point?

Anyway, I think comparing a semi-defect touchpad which can be easily fixed by using a mouse, and a hinge that is going to fail easily, not too fair is it?

Yes, thank you all for the inputs. Appreciates them
I'm sorry for all the commotion caused, I just wanted to know what folks here are thinking on this issue.

Now I rest my case.

Speaking of which...how is 460m fairing?
I've heard it's between 5850m and 5870m.
Not so great if that's true >.>

You guys still on this benchmark thingy? - -
What I want is real live performance in game, not a goddamned chart and figures lol.

Better driver is the only thing thats tempting me lol.
And physx..Nah.

Heh, indeed.
Maybe "What I wanted to see" sounds better.

What I've read around is that. Nothing more though, didn't really dig cause I'm not interested to do any upgrade, yet.
Still, if it's between 5850m and 5870m, how disappointing.

Is it really a big deal for having a custom nameplate? - -"
Sure it's cool but..Not something I'd moan for lol.

Maybe you can try calling up Dell and ask whether it can be made separately? Heh.

I just can't help but to wonder how much your Sager costs..
I'm guessing 30k and above. It has to be. lol.

Rm14k only? for that kind of beast? D:
Doesn't sounds bad at all to me lol.

lol I see.
Well price maybe similar but value is different imo. A top end camera can lasts me at least 3-5 years before it's outdated, but a laptop, prolly it's gonna get outdated in a few months time lol. Though, monster grade laptop like that can be upgraded easily so....

Use alienspawn?

Well just install a fresh OS on your own, then go dell support site and download all the drivers/application that's it.

No, AlienRespawn is a software to revert your laptop back to the factory state.
If you use your own OS why do you bother installing alienrespawn?
Just download those softwares/apps/drivers yourself from Dell Support site.

If you think it's troublesome(Which in fact is easier than eating a piece of cake), then don't do it at all cause I doubt you know what yourself is actually doing.

No, we didn't, we understood and it is you, that didn't made yourself clear.
AlienRespawn and Alienware Command Center which control AlienFX is 2 completely different thing.

I've already said this maybe you can't read, I'll say it again, ALL the preinstalled drivers/apps can be downloaded from the Dell Support site.
And in case you don't know what's Google, here's the link for the support site.
