- Brief History -
yea yea i know its boring, but as true Alienware owner, you should know it!

QUOTE
- Alienware is an American  computer hardware company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dell, Inc. -
- Alienware was founded in 1996 by Nelson Gonzalez and Alex Aguila -
- the Alienware name was chosen because of the founders' fondness for the hit television series The X-Files, hence the theme to their products, with names such as Area-51, Hangar18, m15x, and Aurora. -
- It mainly assembles third party components into desktops and laptops with custom enclosures for high-performance gaming. -
- Alienware was originally established to tap a niche in the high performance gaming market -
- Also offers for sale rebadged computer peripherals, such as headsets, computer mice, monitors and keyboards. -
- The company products are also differentiated by their science-fiction based designs. -
- Dell considered buying Alienware since 2002, but did not take any action until March 22, 2006, when it agreed to purchase the company. -
- Initially, Dell maintained its competing XPS line of gaming PCs, often selling computers with the same specifications. -
- On spring of 2008, the XPS brand was scaled down. -
- On June 2, 2009, The M17x was introduced as the First Alienware/Dell branded system. -
- Alienware now represents the premium performance space in Dell’s consumer family of products -
- This launch also expands Alienware’s global reach from six to 35 countries. -

can you choose to use direct current instead of battery? if yes, choose that option first and choose to use battery after that. lets see if your battery level reduced from 100% to below.

it quite a hassle for this kind of problem to M11x since their battery is non-removable... sweat.gif

When it comes to something like this where the issue might be a connection internally i'll normally call Dell TECH. Else maybe a bios update might help...

When it comes to something like this where the issue might be a connection internally i'll normally call Dell TECH. Else maybe a bios update might help...

well, call as julchin said, try a bios update see, it might helps. or u can try call dell see. i gone through this issue before, i tried reformat the laptop, then it solved....

Saw this unit in LowYatt last year. I did think it has a pretty awesome looking case. Alienware's is pretty streamline but with lotsa hidden stuff around the case and not to mention the changing colours. This one just screams at you. But after using a couple of ACER products i'm never going back...

Guys,

I owned MX15x which was bought last April.

Unfortunately, the spacebar for the keyboard decided to be separated from its brethren. Called DELL today and they said it is not covered by warranty.

Would like to know if someone/shops that can repair this spacebar tab thingy quickly somewhere in KL?

Thank you in advance smile.gif

Is like why Acer is cheaper, cause they had cut cost in some of the parts.
i compare for u to see
1) Display- Alienware vs Asus G73JH/JW
RGB LED vs Normal LED (The LCD used by Alienware is double cost of the Asus)

2) Chassis- Alienware vs Asus G73JH/JW
Aluminium Chassis vs Rubber ( Aluminium is well known for Cooling, Solid, and PRICE)

3)Heat Sink- Alienware vs Asus G73JH/JW
Alienware used a massive and big Heat Sink, and also big air ventilation.

4)Graphic Card
Alienware have 2 Slot which is upgradable for Graphic card.

5)Warranty
Alienware have onsite service(One day time to fix ur laptop), Asus need 3 days working day(u have to send to service center)

Wah... how u guys broke ur keys and the spacebar? Accidently or due to heavy gaming. Hope you guys can share the info with us as to avoid it happening to us. I thought the keys would be more hardy than to just break while being used..... plus I spent extra on 3 years COmplete cover in the hope of this being covered...OMG!

if u had bought, i will prefer u sell it and buy new unit.
Most of the people will purchase 3 years complete cover only. mostly i wont as people to spend moey for extra warranty, since we are alienware guys, what we need is performance, so probably after 1 year, the laptop will phase out, so we can change other laptop d.
if u wan 3 years cover, i will prefer u guys get Premium care, which is cover all sort of damages including laptop fall down or split water.

Do a benchmark and see if your m11x is working like it should.

What setting you were using in SC2 though?

these 2 only apply to the m17x rite? as i rmb...the m15x have a magnesium frame and plastic trim instead of aluminium

bout the heat sink....i believe both are quite on par since the asus is using a similar cooling set up

Magnesium also better than rubber as well interm of cooling, magnesium is still better.
About the heat sink u are wrong d, u haven open up to see the heatsink before, Alienware have thicker and bigger heat sink compare to Asus. Below the Fan there is holes for Alienware to sucks the cool air, which Asus Dont have.(Comparision between m15x and Asus G73JH/JW)

Which driver version you are using? You can try modded driver for 258.96.
The nvidia driver really buggy, got issues with punkbuster if you do play bad company 2 or cod4.
Whitelist your sc2 in nvidia control panel. There will be indicator whether ur 335 kicking in.

Actually something caught my mind, Aluminium vs Magnesium. lol
Magnesium is defo better than Aluminium in terms of toughness..I'm not so sure about heat dissipation though.

(At the very least, I don't see any pro grade DSLR's frame being made of aluminum)

Where did you guys got the information about the material anyway? Some reference would be nice.

From the link you posted Im trying to figure out which part is meant as the trim for the M15x which is plastic. I have a M15x and the palmrest area is the only part I think is plastic, elsewhere its mostly magnesium... Which is why its heavy.....and the palmrest feels the same as the M17x which is why I am not sure where this mentioned Trim area is....? unsure.gif

I think when it comes to heat Alluminium is better than Mag. But mag is not as soft as Aluminum IIRC. Your EOS 1D is Mag iirc...which is the choice material for durability thumbup.gif

They usually see how their desktop sales going on before they go into any laptop projects, so i guess if there are any little predators coming up, it won't be in near future i suppose.

i think u guys have to change ur mind d. If u think thier quality is crap, then u will never success.
Acer is a big company which sell laptop, they also need thier reputation. They will improve thier quality as well.
Like thier 5943G is the best product ever, the quality build is even better than Dell with the same price and same spec.(5850 which have better performance at the price range that 5943G offer)

.___.

Mine the build quality and structure is kinda stupid.

RAM compartment is at left palm (damn hot)

Below touchpad is HDD, which can go up to 50C in AC room without cooler. (very hot and uncomfortable)

Right palm, which no one puts they're hands on is wireless card, which is not hot at all.
GC fan hole.. 1/3 of the space is whole, others is blocked.

So far where i have put my hands on, the color came out..

And all the NOT hot places are behind the keyboard where you cant feel at all... and all the hot ones infront.

After 5 months, proc on game is 70-76C and GC is 60-66C...

But cooler helps alot.. wink.gif

Mine the build quality and structure is kinda stupid.

RAM compartment is at left palm (damn hot)

Below touchpad is HDD, which can go up to 50C in AC room without cooler. (very hot and uncomfortable)

Right palm, which no one puts they're hands on is wireless card, which is not hot at all.
GC fan hole.. 1/3 of the space is whole, others is blocked.

So far where i have put my hands on, the color came out..

And all the NOT hot places are behind the keyboard where you cant feel at all... and all the hot ones infront.

After 5 months, proc on game is 70-76C and GC is 60-66C...

But cooler helps alot..  wink.gif

well, older proc is running hot as well, HDD below touch pad i think is normal, even Alienware also the same, for the fan hold, my mac 1 all had been covered, but i think would be nice^^
for older Acer i think is kinda stupid which i agreed(not 6920/6935 icon_rolleyes.gif ), for this year newer version all seems nice ^^

i think u guys have to change ur mind d. If u think thier quality is crap, then u will never success.
Acer is a big company which sell laptop, they also need thier reputation. They will improve thier quality as well.
Like thier 5943G is the best product ever, the quality build is even better than Dell with the same price and same spec.(5850 which have better performance at the price range that 5943G offer)

Alienware need to update its M15x and M17x..
since.. Dell SXPS 15 / SXPS 17 will come out end of this year...

it can be direct competitor with Alienware [despite AW design is difference and unique]

Alienware need to update its M15x and M17x..
since.. Dell SXPS 15 / SXPS 17 will come out end of this year...

it can be direct competitor with Alienware [despite AW design is difference and unique]
*
lol I'd say Dell isn't that stupid to make a "Direct Competitor" under their own roof.
It will always be a notch or two lower than the highest end Alienware.

Ie, highest end GPU available for the new SXPS15/17 is 445m, where as the new AW will have 460-480m.

It's true anyway. The bling bling makes the laptop looks like a stupid hot toys or the sort. It isn't cool at all IMO.
I just turn every light off except the red keyboard illuminating light cauce it's retardedly difficult to see the keyboard without the light :/

Portable. Can work/gaming on anywhere. Good battery life when browsing internet.
cons: glossy screen - too reflective , I dont want ULV processor, the keyboard are really prone to typo. 720P only, the weight.

Looking for something small yet powerfull, m11x is the one. ahaha.

I still need the DVD Drive even if I don't use it everyday for installation of Original Software and Games. If I get all pirated stuff downloaded then all I need is the internet of course. How redundant it may seem the drive still has its uses.... we can't overlook it yet.

Some were more expensive when purchased over steam. Plus have to download it. I prefer hardcopy sometimes.... especially for Re-installation plus the gifts/collectibles that come with the hardcopy.... icon_rolleyes.gif

Yes I heard that Roccat Kave is better in terms of price, as well as performance. But the Roccat will fully be utilized if we plug in all the jacks. Seeing so many, is there sufficient jacks in the M15x? hmm.gif They look more like AV Jacks.

@M11x
I started to hear some cracking sound on my hinge again this morning mad.gif
Damn ,never though M11x have such poor build.
The main problem is not the hinge actually but the Base cover that hold the hinge.
they easily brake and the screw that hold the hinge will came out..

time to call Dell again in few month once it's get serious doh.gif vmad.gif

Btw the r2 screen replacement is still working fine after they replace it for 2 week.

When the technician open up my old LCD screen, the hinge is complete mess, extreme loose
And can see it is going to crack very soon.
*
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...

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.

download latest driver
then go to CCC...put advance....Off/Disable advance A.I(work for me)
advance A.I is in 3d section

if the method above cannot solve the problem then:
Another way to solve this problem is to disable crossfire(it seem that crossfire is causing the missing unit problem)
PS:i also encounter this problem..slowly experiment all the stuff...found out that (#@$*&(*!@&(*!&@( AI is causing all the problem

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

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.

well... if there's a possibility of this happening to the M15x... is there any sign of it that I should take notice? better be safe than sorry to detect the fault before it happened~ icon_question.gif

Sorry my friend, I don't know lol.
For me, the impression it gave was, "This hinge are built to lasts" lol.
Just imagine, a laptop hinge, made of the very same material as an engine block is made. (Well, older engine block, newer and modern are using aluminum)

I'd say just use the laptop normally, don't abuse it and..I think you should be fine. (Sure it's sturdy, but it never mentioned it's meant to be abused so...)

Guys, any advice given is very much appreciated. In term of overall performance in Alienware M15x laptop, which of these two graphic card is much better? 1GB GDDR5 ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 5850 or 1GB GDDR3 NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 260M?

Thank you for your information.

Thank you for your reply. It is quite confusing to see some contradicting reviews.

Notebookcheck: GTX 260M is better.

Tomshardware: HD 5850 is better.

I really do not know which I should trust. I am hoping to have a more clear cut answer. rclxub.gif

Talking about m11x?

Well yeah, except that M15x's hinge base (the base that the LCD hinge is screwed on) is made of cast iron as well.
And you don't need me to remind you M15x chassis is made of Magnesium Alloy.

both of this GC is same, not much different. the performance different is not significant.
5850 u guys check in tomshardware is desktop version which is totaly different from the mobile version, the mobile version of 5850 is around destop5570-5670.
If u need CUDA/PhysX got for Nvidia(got better driver support for smooth gaming)
Ati cheaper and have same performance(sucks driver support)
For DX11, dont think about it, if u wan try DX11, go for M17x 5870 would be nice, when a game u cnt full detail, DX 11 is useless

NVIDIA - reasonable performance with convenient driver to support it...
ATI - performance looks good on paper... but with the drive it's crap...

Conclusion... NVIDIA FTW~ thumbup.gif

for this situation only macbook is ur choice, because it has good calibration for colour and view angle(best among the laptop LCD)
FOr RGB LED offered by dell, is over saturated, so when u print out the colour lagi teruk

+9000.

Dx10 full setting >>>> Dx11 mid setting.

and go for HD5850 eventho GTX260M is more powerfull, since GTX260M can cause throttling issues due to its heavy power consumption. not everyone occur this, but its happened.

Just for everyone's info. Did not find it anywhere in this thread regarding this.

The 240W power brick for the Alienware M17x is RM281 order direct from Dell. The brick is not available online and you need to call dell on their hotline and ask for it.

Might be useful to some who wishes to have two power bricks. I did, one for the home and one for the office so I don't have to lug that big @ss brick biggrin.gif Now waiting delivery from Penang to my house. rclxms.gif

Not that Only.. Acer and Toshiba have 5.1 System on the laptop itself for its 17" and 18".. which would fit on the M17x..

2.1 System on 15-16" notebooks.. Look at Acer Cinebass Booster and Dell Studio XPS 16 subwoofer there whistling.gif rclxub.gif

Well, for me, it's still alright because I still can calibrate the LCD.
Something that can be amended.

ya, they done a lot on the cooling cause it is "Gaming System" which needs cooling, sound u can get a better speaker out there. since can afford, i think to afford another speaker with 5.1 shouldnt be a problem

Hey guys. I was about to buy a M17x 5870 graphics card today, but I was told to buy the one model older that runs Radeon Mobility HD 4870 graphics card due to issues that many users have with the 5870 graphics card.

How true is that? =O

The new official 5850m driver from Dell seems...unstable compared to the ATi's.

I couldn't complete the 3DMark06 at 890/1100 1.1v with it..
While I have no problem with 3Dmark06 at all at 900/1100 1.1v using the ATi's.

That said, on stock clock, they both gives similar result. (124xx~12500)

nope. can't compare M1530 with Alienware. those are two different league. Alienware's material is the best that i'd ever use. but the downside is - its weight.

nope. can't compare M1530 with Alienware. those are two different league. Alienware's material is the best that i'd ever use. but the downside is - its weight.
thanks Lee for the link.

price is sweet too. hmmm...~

Just wondering, can i even get an Alienware with +/- 6k?

I installed Bluesoleil
Then found out it wasn't much of a help, so I uninstalled it
Then I reinstalled the official driver from Dell, and it when bad after that
Guess it was the Bluesoleil that caused it

maybe that time 5970 for mobility is available, so GTX400M series might not put inside the M17x, is depends the hardware, like M17x have GTX260M, GTX280M, 4870, 5870 available.(Ati is much more cheaper for malaysian to afford)

i don't speak in term of performance, but in term of support instead.

support >>> raw performance. for instance, just in this Mothership, how much forumer complaining about ATi compared to Nvidia? sweat.gif

The reason forme to switch to sager is becoz of the poor customer service regarding my win 7 upgrade. Tht really was the turning point. Besides aw uses the same stuff as sager n eurocom. Mobos n stuffs are from clevo.

Its showed as a Disk Drives but not as a USB Mass Storage!
Normally when you put a new device in there's a driver installation right? This time it doesn't, I even tried other USB devices and they just ran with no prob!
Is there any other way to boot it back up? icon_question.gif

i think its alienwarearena.com, something like that, just came out, pretty cool blue themed design. but certain programs can't be opened after putting up the them, u gotta disable them in a list, hope you get what i mean lol.

also, google chrome won't work the way it used to work, instead of clicking the back button once, you gotta double click for it to work. one of the examples i think they haven't got it sorted out.

here's roughly how it looks like...

well, mostly the application we used, wont utilize Graphic card even with CUDA(nvidia).
mostly will utilize CPU and RAM. For simulation software, my GTX480 is still worse than a mobile FX3700(lower end GC). from here i knew that, only graphic GC will helps, for those gaming series GC wont help. But ATi have direct compute 5.0, that's will helps a lot in 3D simulation compare to CUDA

i believe free Targus bag's offer already ended. and if you are referring to the sales in Garage Sales, for sure the deal is different from Dell's website.

go for Nvidia. easier to tweak and their driver is easily managed. used HD5870 CrossFire before, and i still love my GTX280M SLi wub.gif

Hi guys, I'm in the market for a new gaming laptop and I wanna ask you gurus for some opinions.

I know Dell was trying to downplay its XPS line as the gaming line, but when I did some online comparisons I found I could actually get an XPS with very similar specs to the M15x with just a Studio XPS16.

Both have:

Intel® Core™ i7-740QM (1.73GHz, 4Core/8Threads, turbo boost up to 2.93Ghz, 6M cache
8GB (4GBx2) 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM
1GB DDR3 ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 5730
640GB SATA HD-- XPS is 5400RPM while M15x is 7200RPM

The only other difference is the screen, I guess: M15x 15.6 " Full HD (1080p) WLED (1920 x 1080) Display with TrueLife™ vs XPS' 16.0"UltraSharp™ Full High Definition (1080p) RGBLED Display with TrueLife™

But the price difference is like RM1.3k! That's an Apple-like premium right there. Perhaps for the cooling system?

Also, would it be better to buy direct from Dell or reseller? Thanks guys

you pay extra for Alienware name (software, Alienware FX etc) , material used, efficient cooling system and upgradibility as well.

don't gaming using laptop that not build for gaming. you will slowly decrease your laptop's lifespan.

hi lk_chin,

sorry for the late reply. damn busy with new department sweat.gif

anyway, did you ever perform clean uninstallation of your GPU driver? i mean after proper uninstall, clean all the leftover data or files; then reinstall a latest driver provided from Dell website.

then after that, try to google this software "nHancer". its free software, that you can use to control advance setting that related to GPU. IF ATi card cannot be use together with that software, you need to dig deeper. i think i did heard someone use that software using ATi card.

with that nHancer, you can set the setting to utilize CrossFire for programme that you need to use it. i use it A LOT for games that cannot support SLi in default smile.gif

Can try both latest driver and driver from Dell .
I have encountered the same problem before when i install latest driver,
but solved when i reinstall back the driver from Dell .

Just from past experience as i m not that tech savvy .
You may try either . .

so SSD + HDD simultaneously is possible? SSD for OS and Apps for HDD. does that improve overall performance? cause SSD is kinda expensive..

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...
