QUOTE(doremon @ Jun 29 2011, 08:30 AM) If I don't register online, will it effect anything? By right Dell should have all my details + warranty countdown right?

Thanks bro  . 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  .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. Alienware RULESSSSSS This post has been edited by doremon: Jun 30 2011, 07:59 AM

QUOTE(duabijitelur @ Jun 29 2011, 07:21 PM) 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  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

GreaseMonkey90 Let's see how your M18x fare against Crysis 2 with both DirectX 11 Ultra Upgrade and High Resolution Texture Pack loaded.  I do not think it should be a problem for your beloved gaming beast. 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! This post has been edited by alvinkhorfire: Jun 30 2011, 04:56 PM

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.

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.  Oh ya putochip, you don't have any discounts for new M17x R3? This post has been edited by hidz7: Jul 1 2011, 01:45 AM

Mr.Docter, add in my name please. M11X R3 here  (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 This post has been edited by doremon: Jul 1 2011, 06:55 AM

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...

According to Dell, they said won't feel much different. is the same thing.
