Wah, bro, nice specs man
Wise pick, the R2 is in many ways better than the R3~
Now just need to switch to Sandy or Ivy Bridge

Well, you can tell him that nasi lemak is more important than the ipad cause without eating anything, a person will starve to death
And iPad is not a laptop, and a laptop is not a tablet... no point comparing things that are not of the same category
Mind sharing your m14x's specifications? Certain upgrades are not worth getting

Added on August 18, 2011, 9:19 amHard to say leh... a CPU upgrade might be useful for your case as well since the previous Arrandale processors are not clocked that high and iinm, are not that good for gaming..
Based on some articles, it appears that SB i7 brings about a huge performance leap from the Arrandale i7...
Choices choices
Good thing both can be upgraded~

Chill guys, different people have different needs on their laptop
I would say almost 100% of ppl who sees my specs in forums/NBR would say I'm an idiot as well But then my M14x serves me exactly the way I wanted it to for my work, so its still worth it

We can never really keep up with tech advancement
And yes, upgrading can be so damn expensive

Again, it all depends on a person's requirements

+1, if that still doesn't work...
Wait for a few minutes before using the eject button again, keep on trying and it'll eventually come out
It seems AW laptops have the tendency to "consume" pirated CDs XD

Better Build and better design. The larger Alienwares can be upgraded with newer hardware which is not possible in the other notebooks (apart from Sager)
Summore them bling-blings will at least weigh something right

To M14x users, do take note that the BIOS A05 version is out, which reduces the fan noise of the M14x's hair dryer
You guys should try it out hehe~

wah, you never off the lights during meeting?
I closed all the lights apart from the Alienware logo and head lights, as well as the touchpad lights
The hair dryer sound probably attract a lot of attention as well (especially when in the library)
But then, after flashing the latest BIOS, the fans is quieter to almost non-existent already (apart from when on load)

I think it has something to do with the quality of the discs as well...
Not too sure though... really hate slot-load optical drives

Nicely said bro

Razer?

I doubt the FPS would be that high, even for type B1 GT555m

Selamat Hari Raya yo

Dell online price =RM229~
Can get cheaper if get from Garage Sales

Yeah, the latest BIOS update silenced the fan, or sort of just make the fan not changing rotation speed abruptly hehe, and temps were not affected.
Do refer to my previous post in this thread for the link~

True that, closing the lid will prevent proper heat dissipation, especially when the hottest area is around the Alien power button [where the hinges are]...
Unfortunately the opening angle for the M14x is not that wide, which may pose a problem as well lol

All Alienware models are now powered by the latest batches of Sandy Bridge processors
Do refer to Dell online for more details~

Yeah, alot of models were upgraded
Dell really is fast

Hinges issues are only widespread on the AW M11x R1 and R2
So no problems there ^^
The Quality of AW laptops are still top notch You'd be surprised at how solidly build they are~

You've probably heard of all the good things about the M14x,
Now some known issues:

How to tell whether its refurbished or not?
Refurbished ones no warranty?
