AA, Firefly or MAS?

They're very good according to reviews

What do you mean by no demand for M18x? Don't we have enough rich kids in Malaysia who can use their daddy's money to buy M18x? By the way, I am just an average person and not rich.
Still, can we make special purchase for M18x from Dell Malaysia if we really want to? Buying M18x from other countries will make claiming warranty a more difficult task than it should be.

Sorry, could you clarify what you meant? Are you saying that your M15x laptop has GTX 485M in it? I believe that NBR forum members proved this card requires more power than M15x is capable of supplying, plus M15x internal heatsink cannot fit GTX 485M, thus GTX 485M cannot be used in M15x.

Anyway, could you show the steps to install and run GTX 485M in your M15x, along with some photos for clarity?

Seems like you're somewhat jelly of these people~

I was just wondering, won't the M17x and M18x overlap in market niche?

Now I normally fly Emirates or Singapore Airline ... so far they never checked the weight of my hand-carry, coz every time sure exceed one.

But once I was traveling to Hong Kong on a business trip, using MAS, they ask me to weight my hand-carry luggage ... and it was like 12kg ... they force me to juggle the stuff from my hand-carry and the check-in luggage ... what a mess at the airport there .... I ban MAS from that day onwards.

[PF] T.J.
There should be minimal overlap, if there is. M17x-R3 only has single GPU, while M18x has two GPUs, for extreme gaming performance.

There is nothing wrong with me being jealous of them. If I had excess cash to spare, I would have been the first in the line to purchase M18x with maximum specification. Sigh, it is just a wishful thinking.

Hmm, most ppl who has the money, would probably want to spend more to get a M18x instead?
Maybe not, just my thoughts hehe~
I feel you bro, I also no money

No surprise there... Airports in the Chinese SAR has a pretty strict luggage regulation... They also check my carry-on luggage kao kao when I was in VHHH last year~

Laa... I assume you edi have a job... Surely you can save up a few months from your paycheck and get one~

Yeah, I am still *trying very hard* to NOT to exceed the hand-carry max weight limit ... .... but some how fails every time, with my full gear camera bag itself is already >10kg, now if with 2 more notebooks ....

I could have gone for M18X but then I didn't want...
Afraid that my cousin will tell my mom about my laptop haha!!
Mom is pissed at me not spending time outside the house those days. Imagine what will she think if I had purchase this and my cousin said it is for gaming haha! Additional 1k ringgit cause satisfy impressing a girl temporary my mom says. But that additional 1k could satisfy me till the next alienware revision I believe haha!!!!

Oh well how I wish my parents can splurge on my gaming need!

You can leave the cables etc at the bag you're gonna dump at check in... just bring what you think is important and that you're gonna use in-flight lo~

I don't care whatever the reason Dell Malaysia has, but Dell Malaysia must bring M18x to Malaysia. Now that M17x-R2 is out of market, Malaysian customers no longer have the option of buying dual-GPU Alienware laptops. If there is a low demand for it, just keep a much lower stock level and the availability of M18x spare parts. To deny us the chance of owning M18x is cruel. Dell Malaysia, you own us a responsibility.

I normally only dump my food supply, toiletries, clothing into the check-in luggage, the rest that is critical to my work I will bring in as hand-carry, no matter how heavy they are, as I got bad experience when I was flying in to *some* country, my check-in luggage bag only reach my hotel door step 7 days later my arrival ... imagine my external HDD, power cables all in that check-in luggage, and I could not start my work without those ...

sweeann
I see your point. There is a remote possibility that the checked-in luggages may be lost or stolen. It is better to keep the power cables, external HDD and camera in hand-carry bag. Lugging heavy hand-carry bag is difficult, but it is better than facing the risk of losing the power cables in the checked-in luggages.

Oh my... That's a long wait for your checked-in luggage~

Surely they will la...

Yeah, that is why my hand-carry always exceed the max weight ...

Yeah, thats bcoz there is only 1 flight per week flying in to that country, my luggage got stranded in Joburg airport during my transit, and have to wait for the next week's flight to deliver my luggage.


Anyway, we are totally out of topic dy ...

Now still thinking whether should I proceed with the M17x of 4.3kg ...

Havent been here in a while. My lil Alien R2 finally got the hinge problem, so call up dell support in Wednesday. So the tech came on Thursday and now I have a shiny new LCD on my lil Alien.

Downside: I now lost my matte LCD.
