well, sandy bridge costing(get from friend inside intell), which is almost 50% cheaper compare to rpevios gen intel i series

well if too expensive, people will miss M15x.

if too cheap, people will ignore M11x

but still, it wont xpensive than M15x and will expensive than M11x. just my guess

haha..if m14x for that price..
sure no one will buy m11x & m11x line will refurbished..

well, dell quality isnt good at all, but they have their warranty cover(onsite service(

M11x user that planning to upgrade better sell their laptop asap before official release

Hope it wont be more than 4k for basic spec.

Is it because of alienware being bought over by dell so the QC kinda low?

I think base should be around 4k

What makes you think that the Dell engineer have not consider thr infamous hinge problem... It will be stupid of them to do as much.

They want another international hinge replacement program again?

maybe Dell just want their technician do their service job to take a call & replace the hinge problem for customer..

They want to shine in warranty and service since that's what you pay for Dell products.

Still remember what happen with the first m15x? Lots of issues including cracking hinge. Just my two cents tho.

Haha ya, recently I heard radio been broadcasting dell brag about their top notch warranty coverage.

luckily M15x.. no hinge issue and what-so-ever... HAHA

If they acknowledge that as their 'strategy' what can I say...
Still it won't stop people from buying I guess

But throttling issues leh... How?

Hmm still didn't get Dell service to resolve the throttle issue??

well, throttle issue only ppear when u do benchmarking, real life it wont effect.

Uhh... still it happens in the middle of a frag fest leh~ and then I'll see a major drop in FPS and I would rage~

hey guys which number am i suppose to call? i wanna ask them about my hinge problem but cant get thru the technical support cuz my warranty ended, so its either extend my warranty or end call -.-

It is quite imminent that M15x is to be discontinued in favour of M14x and M17x-R3. I am sure that many M15 owners, including I, are devastated with this news that there will not be any refresh in our beloved laptop model. Cruel it may seem to be, but there is a blessing in disguise, if you carefully consider my opinion as follow. It is a matter of turning this bad news into something advantageous for all of us.

Suppose that your M15x's warranty is extended to a maximum of 5 years. Assume that you are now in 4 years later, and your laptop may encounter malfunction you yourself cannot repair. Thus, you request Dell technician to be dispatched on-site to repair your laptop. Still, although Dell cannot pinpoint the source of the problem, Dell still insists certain parts to be replaced. You know that this laptop is near of its life and no matter how Dell repairs it; it may not escape the inevitable fate of complete failure.

Well, your warranty guarantees you a solution within 1 business day, subject to availability of spare parts. If they cannot diagnose the problem, they have to sent you a replacement unit, as it should be according to warranty agreement. True, they may refuse to do so, but you have to be firm and demand an equivalent or better replacement for your M15x.

Wait, isn't M15x being discontinued in the future? How can Dell provide you with a replacement? Yes, they have to give you a new M17x-R3 for free, as your warranty is still valid. Then, you say to Dell that you want to add in another RM 2000.00, so that you can get instead a new M18x with dual GPUs. Now, isn't that sound enticing to you? M15x owner today, potential M18x owner 4 years later.

I am not saying that that is the main reason I extended my warranty. The main reason is to have my laptop safely secured by the warranty service. Still, there is nothing wrong of harbouring hope of this incident happening. So, for M15x owners with near-expiring warranty, what are you waiting for? Confirm a deal with Mr.Docter to extend your warranty now. You can get your laptop safely protected by warranty, as well as keeping Mr.Docter's warranty extension service thriving. It is like killing 2 birds with 1 stone. Who knows, there is a brand new M17x-R3 waiting for you 4 years later.

Caution: The practice of replacing a faulty Dell computer with an equivalent or better replacement computer is practised by Dell USA and I have seen such instances happening for real. I am not quite sure whether Dell Malaysia also adopts this policy. I have heard many horror stories of Dell Malaysia refusing to provide certain part replacement, whereas anyone can easily request the very same part replacement from Dell USA. It is one example of the double-standard practised by Dell Malaysia. And, I am tired of hearing that whatever is applicable to Dell USA, is not applicable to Dell Malaysia. Don't blame me when your laptop is faulty 4 years later and you cannot request at least M17x-R3 from Dell Malaysia as a replacement for it.

Comment and feedback are appreciated here. If I have said anything wrong, let me know. Thanks.
