Dont have to register online. All your details & warranty already updated by the dell sales person.
Unless u want to chg ur information eg. like address chg, etcs u can go to dell website or call dell to update it for u.

To chk warranty, just key in ur service tag to chk ur warranty status.

If I don't register online, will it effect anything? By right Dell should have all my details + warranty countdown right?

Thanks bro notworthy.gif.


Added on June 30, 2011, 7:59 amOk, I already completed all my setup. I done my graphic work and networking with my desktop publishing company (Second job). Impressive. This bugger can compete with normal pc. Excellent choice if you into small notebook. But preferably, 16gb is a must. Bugger, all my ram (8gb) used up when I doing my designing rclxub.gif .Monitoring via gadgets (sidebar on desktop).

I already explore everything but still can't find the turbo up indicator. Is there's any?

Overall is a recommended machine if u into portability. Waiting for R4 now. Hope will be 2.0g above processor.

what will void the laptop warranty? can someone explain briefly?
err i dun mean to void the warranty... just wanted to ask and know about it
biggrin.gif thks guys

For other brands, sometimes there are stickers within the laptop which prevents the users from tempering with the inner components e.g. HDD etc.
Tearing this sticker would void the warranty... Otherwise, I think there's really not much chances of the manufacturer discovering what users did to their laptops hehe~

Just my 2 cents laugh.gif

Let's see how your M18x fare against Crysis 2 with both DirectX 11 Ultra Upgrade and High Resolution Texture Pack loaded. brows.gif I do not think it should be a problem for your beloved gaming beast. thumbup.gif

If both add-on are to be loaded, a graphic card with 1.5 GB video memory is needed, way beyond what HD 5850 in M15x can provide. Sigh! cry.gif

Anyone has any insider news when will Dell Malaysia equip the M17x R3 with the new GTX580M?
Since the US can already be configured with that GPU.

after equip with GTX580M, means newer graphic card coming soon......
GTX580M is quite good compare to most of the market graphic card, but still around desktop GTX465Ti only if not mistaken. still vry weak.
GTX480= dual GTX580M
RM600 vs RM3k

LOL guys the moment I wrote this suddenly Dell Malaysia updated the M17x R3 page, now it can be configured with GTX580M.

@ Putochip, yeah desktop version is much more powerful and cheaper compared to its mobile counterpart, no doubt about that. smile.gif
Oh ya putochip, you don't have any discounts for new M17x R3? laugh.gif

Mr.Docter, add in my name please. M11X R3 here laugh.gif (Waiting for R4 now)

Guys, just to check with you all

Bios Matter
- Advanced Menu -> Intel SpeedStep = Allows you to enable or disable the intel Speedstep technology. Disabling this may improve performance but will greatly reduce battery life.

What does it mean? Currently mine is Enable. Should I disable to get more speed & power? I don't plan to use battery anyway cause I already disable battery charging at Charger Behavior

Any advise here?

Thanks in advance you guys notworthy.gif

That one is to downclock your CPU when idle..
If you disable it, your CPU will run full power all the time even though you are not using it or just typing on a notepad...
