Yup Alien really rocks my world after 4 days cannot sleep. Now I will become Zombie till next week unless Viper88 can help me to create miracle (Getting my notebook this week)

Just to check with members here. Is there any one purchased M11x R3 i7 with 8gb ram?

How's the performance so far?

Upgrade to 16gb is insane expensive with RM3k++ additional also the ssd RM1.5k additional
Maybe R4 or R5 release then i install those hehe

Again, 16GB is not worth it, performance gain is not significant. Investing on SSD is another story though, the speed boost is worth the price
Summore with the small form factor of the M11x, it will be good to get the SSD so that temperatures can be controlled (personal experience with M14x)

Thanks for making the Alienware M11X R3 purchase via me.

I feel its the right choice to go for 8GB ram and 750GB HD currently.
The 16GB ram SSD hd price is too expensive currently. Later when the price drop for those 2, you can alwys buy and upgrade it to ur M11X R3.

My M11X R2: I7 with 8GB ram is fast and good enough for me.
I use it mainly when going outstation for normal browsing, watching HD movies, view videos/pics xfer from digital camera, play games n stock market trading, etcs.
Its small compact and perform well. Battery last about 4hrs for basic browsing use.

I carry it around with:
Sleeves. (go to nearby coffee shop, etcs.)

Backpack. (travel outstation, work etc)

lol, u sell ur bamboo?

after 1year and 3 months.. my M11x R1 hinge gone kaput! CACAT already! but still intact. I would not bring this notebook outside since its looking soo BAD already.

BTW, anyone knows how much to extend warranty ?

since the Hinge replacement program does not work here in this country, I would like to claim it from the warranty instead.

Which country are you currently in?

Ya lah. Sold off already. That y I am yelling2 at our Viper88 now

^ well yelling at viper88 no use
since still dealing with dell, you yell at dell better

Yell at dell later go to hell how the hell going to get Alien lorrr

here, Malaysia ?

Or here already got the hinge replacement program ? have you done it ?

Afaik, the hinge replacement program is valid over here... just snap a picture and show them.
As fro warranty extension, you can ask for Mr. Docter's help
