yea yea i know its boring, but as true Alienware owner, you should know it!

QUOTE
- Alienware is an American  computer hardware company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dell, Inc. -
- Alienware was founded in 1996 by Nelson Gonzalez and Alex Aguila -
- the Alienware name was chosen because of the founders' fondness for the hit television series The X-Files, hence the theme to their products, with names such as Area-51, Hangar18, m15x, and Aurora. -
- It mainly assembles third party components into desktops and laptops with custom enclosures for high-performance gaming. -
- Alienware was originally established to tap a niche in the high performance gaming market -
- Also offers for sale rebadged computer peripherals, such as headsets, computer mice, monitors and keyboards. -
- The company products are also differentiated by their science-fiction based designs. -
- Dell considered buying Alienware since 2002, but did not take any action until March 22, 2006, when it agreed to purchase the company. -
- Initially, Dell maintained its competing XPS line of gaming PCs, often selling computers with the same specifications. -
- On spring of 2008, the XPS brand was scaled down. -
- On June 2, 2009, The M17x was introduced as the First Alienware/Dell branded system. -
- Alienware now represents the premium performance space in Dell’s consumer family of products -
- This launch also expands Alienware’s global reach from six to 35 countries. -

not sure if anyone notice but the screen resolution of the basic specs is only 1600x900 compare to the R2 version which has the 1920x1200 standard.Maybe its a bait version for them to bring out the m18 at a later time unsure.gif

if you are aiming for M17x, then kindly wait for few more weeks so everything is stable. the price and specs is somehow.. weird.

cause nowadays GC to high end and need a massive cooling, so M17x no longer can fit the monster card and need a larger PSU. so they are coming out the 18.4" as thier high end laptop series

HD6 series Mobile should at least embedded HD3D technology. Since they already eliminated Eyefinity from mobile chips.

cause nowadays GC to high end and need a massive cooling, so M17x no longer can fit the monster card and need a larger PSU. so they are coming out the 18.4" as thier high end laptop series

True, GTX480m is already too much to handle by M17x. Nvidia haven't solve their heat issue for ages... sweat.gif

go ahead and try to customise

from my experience, you might want to avoid dual GPU configuration. yes it is powerful, but that powerfullness may cause throttling if the provided PSU is insufficient. i am personally having it right now, unable to overclock my GPU to its maximum potential. just running at the factory clock only. some of the other user saidif you are using single GPU and you overclock it to its maximum clock, you may run as powerful as SLi. (excluded long term effect of OCing and games engine optimization toward SLi)

if there is any single GPU with 2GB DDR5, that is quite sufficient. unless you are crazy bencher like GreaseMonkey wub.gif

from the looks of it, no revision for m15x its like they gonna stop m15x production and go on with m17x and m18x... or probably taking out m11x out of the market as well... hopefully not...

from my opinion.

IF I'm one of Dell sales team lah smile.gif

i will obsolete M11X and M15X.

focus on M17X and M18X.

then buyer for M11X / M15X if rich they'll sell their product
since discont item already, and buy the latest M17X + M18X.
I guess that's why I cannot work directly with Dell. Mahahaha.

M17x-R3 replacing M15x makes sense IF, their price is similar, and their form factor is same. As in, their dimensions must be the same, if not smaller for M17x-R3.

i believe sales team only provide a guidance and help during the purchase process only. the party that brain all those product are Dell Engineer, IMO.

and if i am one of them:

1 - maintain & upgrade M11x - maybe SB + ATi 6000 Series or Nvidia GTX500 Series, just to make it look cool. people dig that brows.gif

2 - maintain & upgrade M15x - important because higher than M15x will be troublesome for customer that searching for both portability and performance.

3 - scrap M17x-R3 and concentrate more on M18x. coexist of both M17x and M18x will only decrease the sales for both products, and i don't think it will be good for business since the more you bulk them item from manufactures, the cheaper the price will be. just make M18x as an ultimate gaming laptop ever. throw anything you can possibly put in that beast.

truly the 3d function for m17x r3 is kinda ridiculous... if its on m18x sounds ok... but heck, it there are demand, people would buy it... im imagining, hanging out at starbucks wearing 3d goggle watching 3d movie or playing games... miahahahhahahaha...
but really, m17x r3 with no dual gc, its a marketing strategy... they are planning something... which in the end, people like us will suffer... zzzzzz

HI Cherkie, there should be no lag on m15x while playing SC2. In fact, I was running Ultra settings without lag on SC2 earlier. It is dont know what happen Nvidia has been disable then I got the lag issue. Anyway, tested Ultra settings again yesterday and it ran smoothly tongue.gif

Malaysia Alienware laptops are directly from China Factory. They are not from US. Just that pricing is different in certain country. Dell has its own reason why they have different Base Price.

Hi cherkie: I am running SC2 on my m11x... 2v2 still ok in Ultra setting but once 3v3 or 4v4... have to go back to medium settings. Coz too many forces... lagging...

Btw, I do not have m15x, I was comparing if m11x can run well, it should be no problem for m15x smile.gif

maybe its better for you to wait the newer release by the Dell themselve. did you use Automatic Detect on the Nvidia, by the way? its easier since they will find the right driver that suit for your hardware.

anyway, just sharing my humble experiences regarding video driver - latest doesn't always mean better. its good for you if you having your personal collection of 3dMark06 test for the respective driver, so you can compare which one is the most stable for your laptop smile.gif

HQ? Laptop without brand label will not consider as Branded Laptop, instead it'll be labeled as OEM like Clevo. And The layout of the laptop is designed by Dell Alienware so they have the blueprint and everything they needed.

Current pocket money = 250~ sweat.gif

GPU = 1k
Service = Dunno free anot so I'll just imagine $100
Transport = RM50

Students still in sklh menengah shouldn't buy an aw laptop yet. Coz u guys really have no use for it. And don't use the excuse I have to do my homework or folio. No. U don't need tht. Your homework are all assigned from the textbook or workbook. For your folio, u don't need a gaming laptop to work on it, just need a simple laptop on only.

Maybe try running MSCONFIG to see which program/ services are using your resources. Just shut off those unused services like itune, bootup program, etc. and see whether the lagging still occur.

True, my 3 y/o still can use for normal task like assignment programming, but the gpu itself is outdating. That's from my parents sponsor.
My next Asus G series purchase will be based on my salary saved. Not gonna rely on parents too much. Enough is enough.

RM3500 from standingman. tempting price!

BTW, anyone know how to switch the Nvidia and intel HD card manually? because when i press FN + F6, there is no response. Does both card switch automatically? Do anyone know how to tweak them manually?

Besides that, Anyone gotta face the FN + F2 problem? because everytime there is only battery enable showing but no battery disable. I have tried to seek for bios setting. I have enable this feature but regrettably, the problem is still remain. Is this a bug or problem?

Sorry.hehe.. newbie has lot to ask. lol. hope every sifu can lend me a hand.. TQ so much.

yalor.. actually i'm waiting for m15x but since this m11x highest spec price so tempting then i change my mind ..after all i will buy a widescreen monitor to compensate the small screen. But honest speak, screen size of m11x is larger than my expectation. I like it. Just the battery disabling toggle button (F2 FN) and binary GFX button annoy me. because they show no response. ==

Enjoying my m15x sooooo much rclxm9.gif

was an avid gamer back in uni, but since started work last year, i have only a small samsung netbook as my only pc.

actually i wanted to purchase an acer 4820TG, and almost did so if not for the shortage of stock.

Then i considered that for rm2600 i can only enjoy so much with the HD5650, why not just go all out with a full gaming PC? But it takes up space, and i need it to be at least portable and can be used to bring along during those days that i can go home.

Salary is just sitting idly in the account, why not use it to make my heart feel good and as an investment?

And after that it was all Alienware..

Not regretting it at all.

And thumbs up to our esteemed TS and system seller - MrDocter for handling problems during the ordering process(my AW took a month - not anyone's fault) well and being a responsible seller thumbup.gif . Highly recommended.

Will post pictures of the custom nameplate later smile.gif

Go to nvidia control panel to choose either integrated graphics, auto switch or GT335M.
FN + F2 doesn't toggle turn on/off charging. It only show the battery status.

hmm..mean the FN + F6 is a rubbish button (binary GFX) ? lol..
is it me go to nVidia control panel to choose manage 3D setting then let nVidia card as primary in global setting?
I found that everytime i quit my alienware command centre, my display colour will fade out bit.. looks like the saturation is changed.(is this due to graphic card switching cause the problem?) Because i have adjust my display colour in the Intel HD card setting before to make the display colour looks more sharper and saturated.

BTW, I have flashed my m11x to bios A03.. And i found that only way to disable charging when AC on is press F2 when system boot up. Then choose charging behaviour to disable. Then everytime when we plug in AC, the battery wont be charged up. Until we go in bios and change the setting again.

haha.. i think GT 335M is even better than 5730 right? perhaps ATI 5760 is entry level for M15x. lol
last month i miss a deal from leozwei (a forumer in garage sale). He sell a brand new M15x (i7-720QM , 4GB DDR3, 500 GB HDD and Nvidia GTX 260M) for RM4200 only!

Maybe you can wait for new year promotion coming soon.
Perhaps from Putochip123? drool.gif

Here is what i suggest, get the 1st configuration and upgrade the GPU to AMD HD5850M. It's way better off that way.

for your information, motherboard used in M17x-R1, M17x-R2 and M17x-R3 are all different.

you can't simply unplug first generation of i7 (i7-920XM) and plug SandyBridge just like that. unless the seller willing to change the mobo as well.

and i never heard of 4 years warranty support too.. sweat.gif

Anyone know how to control the fan spin speed other than using Hwinfo32 to tweak it..
Doctor or Puto can help?

my advise is don't manually chance the setting since the processes is way beyond our estimation.

but if you still eager to adjust the fanspeed, you need to override the BIOS setting using specific software (some of BIOS version have their own certain temperature to maxed up the RPM of the fans), and it might causing disturbances on other aspects especially system temperature since you will be playing with BIOS power consumption's setting.

BTW, how to check the warranty is belonged to me? because the dell website doesnt show owner name and detail..

RPM of the fans is not the factor that caused the throttling. its an effect from your high power consumption from your GPUs.

what is your Nvidia Driver version, BIOS version, and did you ever cleaned your heatsink fins before?

i know throttling not because of the speeding of fan..
nvidia version try alot.. now using 197.xx .. forgot.. not with my AW now.. using asus at other place...

I dint open up my AW before, thats why i said i want to open up and clean the heatsink fins, the fan and others ..
maybe after clean the performance will better.. this is what im thinking..

Currently, I am looking to upgrade my desktop and need advice on the following:
I am just a medicore gamer + photo editing.

1. Is M11x suitable for photoshop work? Will the screen too small?
Or any shop in KL have ready product to test?

2. Going through the dell website to customize the Alienware, and found out this "Avatar". What is this "Avatar" means?

3. Can I re-configure the Alien FX keyboard colour or is it fix with the colour we choose during customization.

TQ.

1. if u are planning for photoshop thn m11x's screen is definitely not. PS with 11" is a waste of time, you'd have to move your cursor all around just to finish 1 section. unless u have a HDMI cable n plug it into an external monitor

2. avatar is a little picture for yer windows startup pic icon

3. yes u can through the system software

I guess using the HDMI cable into external monitor is my only solution for M11X.
Does the M11x come with VGA port?

Hi Kenishi, No VGA port for m11x, only Display port and HDMI.

Thanks smile.gif

hmm.. i think only M11x i7 spec doesnt have VGA port. Because i7 processor need extra space thus VGA port is forced to drop off from M11x. But you can find VGA in i5 or i3 spec M11x . Correct me if I'm wrong.

HDMI rules!!!

VGA port can be acquired by buying a displayport converter (my friend's macmini uses it)

what do you mean by "crashes"? it won't load? or it causing your system to hang?

anyhow, what is your sound driver's version?

to be honest, solving the problem is much better instead of reformatting.

at least, you will learn something by solving the preexisting problem. i use my beloved M17x for almost two years and never reformat even once blush.gif

Well, reformatting the laptop is good to ur HDD instead of spoiling it. formatting will reform ur hdd sector, and make it more efficiency, without formatting, the sector of the hdd will slowly become dead sector at last will spoil ur hdd. ^^

this fedora issue and ulv cpu thing is the only two things that's been bugging me

Not too sure if there's any particular problems. Another concern you should look into will be nvidia gpu driver. The main things I’m looking for this OS will be light browsing and listening music only. I remember finding driver is such a pain.

Added on January 20, 2011, 12:52 amall sifu's, i have currently installed few games inside my M11x.
i install GTA at my local disk C only and other games i install in local disk D (the local disk C partition is only 50GB when it first day reach to my hand sad.gif )

the problem is when i set 'run with graphic processor' to nVidia GT335M on all games i installed, i found that when i play each game, only GTA will be shown in nVidia GPU process balloon . But when play with other games, the GPU nVidia balloon doesnt detect the game process sad.gif . How do i fix this?

BTW, any M11x-R2 users can use FN + F6 to activate the GFX?

Thanks for reply smile.gif

Wah you apply by your own? Does it need very precise fingers? Mine are kinda butter fingers!
How much did the thermal paste cost?
If that helps in reducing the temps by so much, I also want! drool.gif

hey guys, im a M15x user and i really hope someone can help me with a problem that i've been having with my laptop. My battery is now plugged in but not charging, before this all i have to do is just restart or unplug and plug it in again, but this is not working this time, then i looked for solutions online but none of them are working for me.

hey guys, im a M15x user and i really hope someone can help me with a problem that i've been having with my laptop. My battery is now plugged in but not charging, before this all i have to do is just restart or unplug and plug it in again, but this is not working this time, then i looked for solutions online but none of them are working for me.  Now i am trying to update my BIOS but i dont really know how to do it, i've downloaded the file from the Dell website and already unzipped the file, but i have no idea how to proceed from here, also tried searching online but couldn't find anything instructions that are specific to this model. thanks in advance for the help!

go to BIOS(press F2) when you on your laptop. Change the 'charging behaviour' to enabled then quit with saving changes. Viola smile.gif

i went into BIOS but i couldn't find that option, the only thing that i saw was something about giving out a warning when an incompatible "power brick" is detected and another one about having usb devices wake the computer from sleep mode, but funnily now everything is back to normal and my battery is charging again.. maybe i should give dell a call to replace my power adapter soon haha.. thanks for your feedback anyways!!

Congratulations. It is certainly one powerful gaming beast. Could you state the reasons why you chose to purchase Alienware desktop, instead of DIY desktop, other than the sheer love of Alienware? Thanks.

Hi there mates, I'm looking to buy a laptop. I was looking at m11x, i"m actually pretty happy at it and the price is alright.

I have a few questions though, I'm hoping you mates can provide me with some good reviews.

1) at 11.6" , alright at 12", wouldn't it be an eyesore?I mean, I've tinkered with my friend's netbook and at 11", my worth, half an hour with it, i felt like dying.
2) i searched through dell, for m11x, the rams are by default 1333mhz. However, according to dell, as we purchase the laptop, it'll be running on 800mhz.
3) Again, the size, 12", typing on it would be a pain also ain't it?

Do enlighten me. Thanks !

if u think, it doesn't suit u, then juz forget about it...

2) i searched through dell, for m11x, the rams are by default 1333mhz. However, according to dell, as we purchase the laptop, it'll be running on 800mhz.

the rams are running based on the bus speed of the proc... its rated 1333mhz doesn't mean it will run @ 1333mhz...

Yup, just go to lowyat and survey.

But most prices are reasonable at Rm12x ++

I got mine at RM124 each.

hurm, been digging the fedora forums for the optimus solution for linux
from my reading the optimus is also not quite good in 64bit windows, is it true?

darn, i want aw but i also want fedora. i might as well do dual boot for some
light gaming

the main reason i wanna go for aw is of course the look of it. cant find any other laptop
which got a cool design like aw. if only nvidia got a better linux support

Well the M17x R2 with dual HD5870 definitely performs better than a single HD6870.. But in terms of processor, the M17x R3 has the latest 2nd Gen Core i7 which is better than the 1st Gen in the M17x R2..

1) M17X-R1 uses Core 2 Quad Processors.
M17X-R2 Uses Core i7 Quad Processor(1st generation)
M17X-R3 Uses Core i7 Quad Processor(2nd Generation)

2)M17X-R3 do no offer dual card configuration but R1,R2 do offer dual card configuration in SLi/CFX.

@twhong_91

some of our esteemed lowyat.net sellers have staff discounts, they can give you a very good price, lower than official dell prices

what you get is the same product, same warranty, same brand new sealed condition like buying from dell itself

Hello to all the Alienware enthusiast here,

I'm taking a long hard serious look at getting a M17X R3 but there doesn't seem to be much love for it around here. Despite having the new I7-2720QM processor, i keep hearing that the HD6870 GPU is a deal breaker. I understand the previous M17X R2 was sporting dual GPUs...

Is there sufficient reason for me to consider getting a M17X R2 or a M15X instead?

Thanks!

Should be no problem, you just need to find the 32-bit version of your driver and your ram will only be usable until 3.xx GB only..

i'm thinking the same idea..
do programming in virtual box + using visual studio + openGL programming.
i'll consider it.. smile.gif

seems installing windows 32 bit is a "no go"..
hav good PC but cant do simple things.. sad.gif

my alienware m15x with intel wifi link 5300 is suspected faulty

dropped connection regularly, even tested my router with another netbook and used handphone wireless tethering just beside the laptop same dropping

by drop i mean the connection gets disconnected, sometimes cant even see my AP for a few minutes, and internet is damn slow

its not that weak a signal - 3 bars average - when conected

so installed new drivers, uninstalled - same effect

any experience guys? before i resort to calling Dell. You guys think they'll change at my home the wifi card?

Well, unless there is a dedicated thread for Alienware desktops, I don't think there is any problem including the Alienware desktops here.

Hardware forum mostly cater to DIY desktops. If anyone opens an OEM-desktop thread there, it may receive bashing.
