I would say, try to give Dell support centre a call and just ask them directly. Maybe they can just change your screen.

@Nuclearzap

It is obvious that GTX 460M is better.

Try to look here for comparison

Ouch.

Now I know why warranty for a laptop is important. Maybe the other sifu can tell what is the problem?

But 1GB GDDR5 ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 5850 got the word"HD"
1.5GB GDDR5 NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 460M didn't have "HD"....
(I know its quite stupid....)

Update: Dell told me that the ant in the lcd is not in the warranty and i need to contact a local tech or do it myself and remove the ant.

Does anyone know on how to open the lcd or can point me to a guide?

1GB GDDR5 ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 5850 is only 1GB GDDR5
But...
1.5GB GDDR5 NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 460M has 1.5GB GDDR5

Even my 1GB GDDR3 NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 260M is better then ATi 5850!
NVIDIA FTW

ATi 5870>GTX460M>GTX260M>ATi5850

So we determine the quality based the Gb? I see.....
So based on your reply,you mean NVIDIA's graphic card is better than ATI's?

Not really, there are other factors affecting it as well!
Just refer to the link that is provided previously by syafri88

Thanks!

You're Eequan Chew~!?

You know him?

Nah... PM and realised it's a different fella... Sorry~

Its a name for ATi, it use HD while nVidia use GT...
Don't really have any significant meaning

My right rubber (m15x) on the palm rest has came off suddenly without me noticing it.. Any of you guys here got it before?

That's quite usual! A few have complained before!
Get some glue and paste it back, better then losing it

M18x

looks real. perhaps next month i suppose...



Manual

Hi sifus,

I'm planning to buy an alienware laptop by next month.
I'm currently stuck with alienware models.
Between m17x R2 and R3, can i know which one is the best?
I plan to use it for work and playing games like starcraft2, left4dead2,WoW and in future Diablo 3!
I didnt see aw in personally, but i know it is bulky and heavy.
Or should I get m15x (gt460m) only?

Pls advice

Yea I saw the same thing today and also m17x r3 is back for order in us. Gonna hold my order for now. Want to compare the price with m18x

I got my tron mouse and mousepad for future alienware haha
