the M11x lid cant fully closed to the palm rest. Is this problem leading to hinge problem?

Hmm.. i try to close it to minimum gap by exerting some force but when i release my hand, the lid goes back to same position again..

Lil Kiasu:
Too bad no M11x owner give response over here
mayb i will give Dell a call..thanks for ur concern anyway

nope. the lid doesnt touch the rubber stopper at all
At first i also think like that but i just realise the angle is wider than the actual angle to touch the stopper

i'm back with bundle of story to tell.

regarding to my hinge question being asked last few days now have been solved by whole new LCD + hinge replacement. At first when i call to dell service, they tell me hinge problem doesnt covered under my basic warranty because it is belonged to completeCover package. Well, after that they promise to do 'one-time' replacement for my hinge. Today a dell technician came to fix for me. Due to the lid and palm rest problem, the case is not settled because even new replacement cant reach to rubber stopper on the palm rest when closed. So he called to Dell for another attempt on next Monday to change the palm rest == lol. haha.
Besides that, some good news for you guys (bad news for me personally)

During the on-site section, I take chance to ask him about him for the rumour of m11x R3 and he admits it's truth and most probably will be launched on August 2011. It might be long to wait for because Dell is going to clear all m11x R2. after that m11x R3 will be launched officially. Regarding to m14x, he tell me that he never hear that before and might just be a rumour. So i think we dont worry about the discontinuation of m15x.

oh yeah. the new m11x hinge + LCD replacement is still using old design so the rumour that m11x R2 get new hinge design is a blown-away
cheers.

here are some snapshots to the section.

technician observes both of them. the operating principle and design remain the same.

Yup, it's a R2

Is it maximum 83 celcius normal for a m11x during heavy and intensive game?
