Is the 5870 card very new or something? It sounds kinda silly buying a dual graphics card gaming laptop, only to use half its potential =o

When will AW come out with GTX480?
seem like sager NP7280 beat us ...

@puto, can m17x upgrade to GTX480?

HM55 oso not supported?

I think Dell's one is probably way more expensive than Asus.

Thinking of getting G73JH.

if you can wait till Q1 2011 will be better. maybe Dell will put GTX400M Series into their beast. most likely they will, if you ask me

Blame Dell R&D
We shud see refresh of these alienwares with GF400 before Xmas I assume.

Can eh? I know someone who uses Acer 4736G with Nvidia 310M with CUDA (Well nowadays all Nvidia Cards have CUDA) for engineering design.. I forgot what program he was using.. Looks smooth..

Im not sure oh.. Normally they say for simulation programs go for Nvidia since it has CUDA support..
Even my friend had a desktop card ATi HD5770 changed to Nvidia GTS250 because he say not fit for his simulation softwares..

oh i see
that day i saw at lowyat got one of this shop offer me the alienware orion bag free . hmmz . what targus bag usually u guys got ? can show me picture

btw i got one question about the graphic cards . usually if let say i buy the M15x . will it be NVIDIA or ATI ? .

man i can't wait to jump ship . 10 years i haven't have a good computer . currently im using netbook lulz . now wanna buy something expensive like alienware

CrossFireX™ Dual 1GB GDDR5 ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 5870

SLI™ Dual 1GB GDDR3 NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 285M

which 1 better????

Technically its HDD + SSD (4GB SLC), but you won't really get the real feel of SSD with Momentus XT, since the SSD will act as cache for the frequently used file..
Still, its better than other HDD when it comes in read speed if cached but write speed is just same with other HDD...

yup

Windows boot also noticeably faster than 7200rpm hdd's 

still don't talk about 7200rpm Raid-0

Kave is the best 5.1 gaming headphone i ever use. tried Razer, the one with 7.1 Simulated, but still prefer Kave eventho Razer is bit lighter.

use Kave with Creative X-Fi and there goes your ears, sneeking and hearing footstep during spawnkilling lol.
how long is your duration of review? reach one day?

if you understand how Momentus XT works, you know that you have to use it for quite some times before its cached everything. review that for at least one week and share with us back the result.

ask Astria, he'd use it long enough to provide a review for us

How much would it roughly cost to upgrade from Single Graphic Card to Duo Graphic Card ?

I have some questions regarding M15x. Pardon my lack of experience here. I hope to gain some advice from experts like you all.

1. Do most of M15x owners purchase keyboard protector, cooling pad and screen protector to be used with their laptop? I want to know the brand and price of these products with reasonable quality and price.

2. If laptop is plugged to a power source, is it advisable to remove the battery pack from the laptop? I know most people will do this, but the User Manual advises against this practice.

3. There is a transparent plastic sheet taped onto the laptop screen (I do not mean the plastic bag that originally wraps all around the screen). Can I just leave it as it is and treat it as screen protector? Or, should I remove it to prevent the screen from overheating?

4. Inside the smaller box containing the DVDs, mousepad, power adapter and so on, there is an Alienware cap. Under that cap is an Alienware avatar that sticks to a sticker. What is the use of this item?

5. What is WinRE software?

Thank you very much for your advice.

niceee

lets wait to see what Alienware have for us in Q1 2011 

thanks Lee

last time i checked, Dell still not intended to import that into Malaysia. maybe we need help from importer service from Garage Sales. bulking will be better

ATI is much more cheaper than Nvidia mah..
thats why..
haha

luckily my 280SLI costs me less coz of the promotion.. lol
but did 5870 CF perform better than us (280 SLI)

Darn puto, why don't you post that m15x like 3 months earlier? Argh!!!

Puto.. haha
need help la..
wanna find u someday with viruz019..
need ur help.. 

oh yea... i forgot about that

HD5870 CF only slightly 1/4 better performance than us. but GTX280M is like 3/4 have better driver support and compatibility than that beast.

not really care about Dx11. i only care about Dx11 when stepping into GTX400 Series

haha..
abt the seagate's momentus hdd and i think might wanna add thermal paste for my m17x

err what PKNK bro?

Would be likely to save up for a SLi or CrossFire.

hey grease, u already sold ur m17x?
waiting for the review of ur sager as well..
