Sure is one big big big machine, its big and really thick too

big baru power

if m17x keyboard tercabut how ? only one, DASH keypad its longgar, i cannot fix it, even already attached it, need to call for warranty ? change whole keyboard or what

LOL!

yes, most probably smaller in size and cheaper in price as well

should be covered by Dell Warranty.

try give Dell some call and tell them your problem. this should be just a simple matter

next week i call.. i ask exchange 1 to 1 la..baru awesome..haha

Ugh damnit. I think the bearing of my M15x's processor fan is dying or something.
Loud noises and sometimes even vibration when the processor is stressed.

Worst thing? I'm now in UK D:

What can I do in this situation :/

too much dust? try taking out and use compressed air to spray it.

if all fails. call dell uk. im sure they could help u out.

I thought of that too, I clean the fans very regularly (once a month) so the dust isn't really significant..at least visually.
Bah..I wonder how much will it cost since the warranty isn't international

And by the way, how to take out the fans?
I am not really sure how to take the top panel out lol.

EDIT:
The CPU Heatsink fan is 49.99GBP (saw on ebay)
Omg lol

there should be a manual in the website or u can search the forums. some posted how to strip the m15x before, if i can recall.

unfortunately its only valid within 14 days of purchase

Yeah thanks for the advice.
I checked it out and pry opened my M15x CPU Heatsink Fan.
Disassemble to the very last component of the fan and the fan is very clean, some dust but not significant.
And the bearing seems fine..too?
Maybe I'll get some WD-40 or some sort of lubricant for it..

After I cleaned the bearing with microfiber cloth, light wiping of course, I put them back together and run a CPU test.
The temperature improved somehow LOL. (Full load from 83 down to 78)
I have no idea why but the noise is still there, but not as worst.

And uhh if this information is any helpful (or maybe a duh)
The fan used in M15x's CPU is a magnetic bearing type.

EDIT:
After some reading, maglev type is the best among all?
And it's frictionless. Then..where the hell the noises coming from???
Crap..I'm starting to think there is something else in my laptop that causes the noise.....

Oh...

Pictures revealed in forum.notebookreview.com shows it is anordized aluminum again for the M18X.

Sounds fantastic. I feel a bit of regret then again I don't think i can carry that much weight while travelling lol!

When I settle properly in Australia soon I hope, should be getting Area 51 ALX

Hi guys, I just brought my last month Alienware M15x (Black).
Spec:

ALIENWARE M15x

COSMIC BLACK

i7 740QM 1.73 Ghz

8GB DDR3 @ 1333 MHZ

750 GB @ 7200 RPM

| ATI 5850 1GB GDDR5 | 1920x1080 FHD WLED | 9 CELL | INTEL WIFI LINK 5300 | BD + DVD Combo

Anyone play Starcraft 2? Izzit the fan sound so loud when the graphic setting is high ? Just curious ..

sorry..
might as well get a desktop

haha looks freakin gigantic. like cant carry -.-

somewhere, somewhere is loose. reopen in n check the screws. or u can do the old style: take out the fan and hit it a few times on yer palm and put it back

What is the difference with anodized aluminium and the soft touch thingie, i know the soft touch has more grip, but which is better? cause tied between getting m17x r3 and the 18x argh! so wanna know everything haha.
