@GreaseMonkey90  are the fans noisy on heavy gaming? the temp score is unnbelievable.. I think they might have secret air cond technology built in.

lol yep.. my dad SLI gtx580 on his beast doesn't even amount to that but of course mobile gaming is the future. If i had that kind of money, i'll splash on it. Or errr.. maybe pay with credit card then die later  hmm.gif

nope, because of fans spin fast, as many people think their fan spin loud, then it must be their laptop problem d, especially the people who dont like dell, keep on say dell laptop fan spin fast and because an issue for the laptop.

Register your laptop for warranty la laugh.gif
You need to do that regardless of which brand you choose. Its easy to find in Dell's website nod.gif

ps: You would want to burn your recovery discs as well..

^ You could just turn off the lights and do all the necessary settings via AlienFX. Its one of the best programs ever to come with a laptop nod.gif

Well, if you don't register, you're the one taking the risk sweat.gif Its just a few clicks away anyway...

There's an Intel Turbo Boost program for you to monitor the clock speeds.. but then its just a waste of resources that's why Dell decided to omit them from Alienware units...

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

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

Hi ya all Aliens'

im gonna buy dell alienware mx14 soon... any tips for Malaysian users?

Get it only if your main concern is about portability and not gaming nod.gif
Below are some drawbacks:
1. Very loud fan when on load
2. Screen refresh rate and performance drops significantly when on battery
3. High performance on battery will cause auto-shutdown
4. M14x with normal HDD will get hot on the right palm rest
5. Keyboard and touchpad lights doesn't light up during start up (only applicable to advance lighting settings)
6. Buttons are abit far apart (my own opinion hehe) laugh.gif

Other than that, its basically a very awesome 14" machine thumbup.gif

I meant if you emphasize portability over gaming, then get the M14x.
If not, you'd probably be better off with the much better Asus, Sager models (can get GTX560M already with that budget). Perhaps even the AW M15x nod.gif
