its their own money, so don't bother.

its same with questioning people that bought Ferrari where they even can't speeding in Malaysia road.

just got my lid changed. didn't get a chance to see the box (and code) for the lid as the tech guy was keeping it. but i did ask him if this is the newly designed hinge and he had no idea. he did mention that this is the same lid (i.e. same code) that he replaced for many other M11x users olver the past couple of months....so it must still be the old version.

but anyways, my M11x hinge is not a problem anymore (for now). if anything does happen, my warranty runs till 2013

Go to control panel - > power options and choose what closing the lid tab. You can select it for do nothing. Done on my M11x.

You really should change to the improved version. It's Dell responsibility to adhere to their own promises. Not all of us have the luxury like you do.. like myself, my warranty ran out last month. So we must make sure the lid is properly and correctly replaced.

but since it's already been repaired and the problem solved, i can't really fault them for not giving me the improved version. it's not in their policy to provide the customer with the latest and greatest fix, so long as they solve the initial problem in the first place, which in my case, was a broken hinge.

imho, it's best to invest in a warranty agreement that should last as long as u want to hold on to your laptop, which for me is a maximum of 3 years.

Leaked images of Alienware M14x and M18x surface online.

Dell has had only three Alienware notebooks up for sale for quite some time, but it seems that consumers may be soon able to have a greater variety of choices, thanks to a couple of leaked images. Apparently, hidden in Dell's factories are two more Alienware notebooks in its production line, and they come in either a 14-inch and 18-inch form factor.

Do you fancy getting yourself an Alienware notebook? If so, it should probably be of little surprise that Dell does not give potential consumers much choice in selecting the notebook that would best fit their needs. After all, with only 11-inch, 15-inch and 17-inch form factors available, chances are consumers who crave an average-sized notebook or a gigantic, full-fledged desktop replacement notebook will probably give Alienware a miss and hop over for something else.

However, it seems that consumers may soon be able to look forward to having two more choices when it comes to selecting a laptop from Alienware's product lineup. Apparently, leaked images of what appears to be 14-inch and 18-inch versions of Dell's Alienware notebooks have been circulating online, as shown below:

No details about the machines' hardware specifications have been revealed yet, but a report from Electronista claims that the 18-inch version, which has been tentatively named the M18x, will sport either two AMD or NVIDIA graphics cards installed via CrossFireX or SLI and will feature a screen capable of full HD resolutions.

The report from Electronista also goes on to claim that the graphics cards that will be installed in the new Dell Alienware laptops will either be AMD's Mobility Radeon HD 6730M or 6770M, while the NVIDIA version will most likely come with the GeForce GT555M.

Lastly, no information about possible retail prices for either notebook has been released yet, so do stay tuned for updates.

Guess the M14x is finally for real~ 
Sos cili padi~

To all who have the updated A09 BIOS on the M15x,  when you press F7 does your DVD drive eject?

Mine does. =(

the m18 doesnt look like m18x. looks smaller. liket he size of m17x but m17x has a plastic cap right at the bottom of the top casing. so its a product we will never know....for now

hehe GM,
it seems to be aluminium at least
Dell lab updated that M18X would be targetting a plausible May release...
Not only has 460SLI and 6970 Crossfire.. it has 485SLI...

It will sure be freaking expensive

I guess I should stick to the M17X R3 lol

that gpu is too overspec dude..depend on your requirement

I am going mobile... so M17X R3 is good enough for me
