Alienware M17x (2011)
Record-breaking performance, superslick design, wireless HD streaming, and five hours of battery life. Yup, this gaming notebook is pretty much perfect.

i am so in love with the grill's color fading

Nice one..can't stop drooling on this..
I assume the price will be almost RM10k

OMG !! The lights makes me crazy d...=D

Hey all, sorry for the long absence! Been very very busy with college.

Anyways, my M15x has been throttling very badly for the past few months. Contacted Dell support but they denied the problem and offered to switch a new GPU (same model, GTX 260M.)

The GTX 260M has had a very bad reputation for throttling and I am pushing them for a HD5850. The reply was that I would have to pay since it is considered an "upgrade".

Don't know about you guys but I feel it is a fix rather than an upgrade, and therefore should be covered under warranty.

Before you reply, DO NOT tell me my stealth mode is on or my power adapter is disconnected or that I need to update my drivers or BIOS. I have tried everything there is to try and the throttling is still there.

I have even used anti-CPU-throttling software recommended by the NBR forums and even then the problem persists. Clearly, the GPU is the problem.

Now he's in denial and offering me the same-GPU fix. What should I do?

Hi nitevision, it's sad to hear the issue happening to u... Anyone using m15x had this same problem? Maybe u guys can help him out. Sorry I couldn't help much as I'm using m11x..

Coz the furious emoticon looks awesome~

Personally I like shirts with collars... been a fan of polo tees anyway~

I prefer simple cotton type~

Not wanna be kepo or what... but I use Game Booster and MSI Afterburner and problem solved~

if you maxed up some of aspect, surely it gonna reach 10k.

but for starting price maybe around RM 7,999..

i do believe changing your GPU is a good respond by Dell. its free of charge and they will send the techie to your place instant of you driving to their HQ.

in the same boat with Dell, i suspect your GPU is the culprit since this is an isolated problem that happened to GTX260M owner (at least not till your level).

Im not owner but can order? lol...jersey with collar!!! so can dry easy/.

T shirt with collar pls !!

how about we put up all the designs and vote the best ones?
can open a tread here in LYN and facebook... let the fans be the judge...
ones the design are selected, we print for both collar and round-neck tees... and we can choose... i have a few designs in mind, hopefully i have time to do it... zzzzzz... work is killing me...

Yeah sound good. I would like to have both
