Hi!
Add my name to the M15x owners list! Btw, i have a question about the synaptics touchpad. Is it always this draggy? Like its not laggy or anything just that the motion in which the cursor moves is not so smooth. |

QUOTE(riku2replica @ Oct 16 2010, 09:02 PM) if the laptop is new, you can call and try your luck.sometimes they change event 1 dead pixel, just tell them how bright the dead pixel is and how annoying it is when watching movies. Picture below has nothing to do with dead pixel, just showing off my M17x Added on October 16, 2010, 10:04 pm QUOTE(abesabraham @ Oct 16 2010, 05:00 PM) Hi!

would love to share my personal though with my fellow Alienware owner too, taken from Sager's thread.
QUOTE before this, i am seriously considering to leave Alienware and move on to Sager due to GTX480M SLi's poison. but after going through the review, i think i will love Alienware moar. Review @ http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Devilt...ok.37414.0.html Desktop variant CPU - 980X: work perfectly. its quite overkill to be honest. and cause autoshutdown during full stress. Nvidia GTX480M SLi (2GB DDR5 + 2GB DDR5) : tessellation monster. emitting heat and sound like a monster too. even its been described as "Very high system noise", means that it does loudy. crash during full stress too, due to insufficient power supply. 5 speakers + Subwoofer (5.1) : very bad quality produced. subwoofer effect is very minimal. reviewer describe "doesn't even come close to the sound qualities of Toshiba's Qosmio X500, Asus' G73 or Alienware's M17x." 3 Slots of HDD (Raid-5 capable): future proof. nothing bad about this, except ripping your pocket more. Keyboard : describes as very good in term of quality and wideness. but not backlited - major disadvantage for me. other obvious and predicted fact : bigass adapter, battery life duration, weight (roughly same compared to M17x), price and thickness. so my personal conclusion; if it keep crashing during full load, why on earth i buy it? means that i should lower down the setting and games quality so that the stress will be lower - to prevent from autoshutdown. i might go for ATi HD5870 CrossFire or GTX285M SLi (heck, even my GTX280M SLi is still competitive) compared with i buy GTX480M SLi but need to lower it down. so no wonder why Alienware still don't release their M17x with GTX480M SLi update. maybe they are somehow working to solve those problem. for me, i would allow another one more year to see what Nvidia able to do about this before spending my dime. just sharing my thought here tho, |
