yea, i left a message with Dell, i'm flying off to Germany soon, i'll prolly get it checked out when i get back or something....and when i received the laptop, the box was hot! i think the courier guy left it in the sun for too long?....

Just now, first time experienced Battery power drain i.e. Suddenly my M15x could not obtain power from battery, only from power supply. What I did to rectify the problem was:
1. Switch off the laptop
2. Pull out the battery
3. Pull out the power supply
4. With everything off. Just hold the power button (alienhead) for 10 sec.
5. Put back the battery
6. Connect the power supply
7. On the laptop
8. Voila! Problem solved

Trust me, you will encounter this at least one time IF you always used your power supply (99%) as a main source to supply power to your laptop.

Hope this helps.

tqs for the heads up =D
it will be useful for me in the not far future .... but after hearing all this seems like aw lappy hav many problems lol


Added on May 12, 2011, 6:08 amGuys ... im reconsidering the m18x thing >.<
shipping from canada is still kinda elaborate for me >.<
what if i get a m17xR3?
since its available in malaysia, it makes things ALOT easier lol
or should i consider an ASUS ?
this 2 are the most possible candidates for a gaming laptop for me >.<
the games im gonna play are most probably, Dragon Nest, Prototype 2, DMC5, DA3, FIFA 12, PES 2012, Mass Effect 3 assuming those games come out XD juz a rough example,
will m17x be able to handle it ?
p.s and im gonna take animation designing course too , quite sure it can handle that =D

and i was kinda building my own laptop at malaysia dell , and the price was kinda around 12k >.<
can anyone giv me some guidance >.<

Just to give you a better picture of how powerful single HD6970 is compared to desktop counterpart.
HD6970M is almost on par with dual HD5870M,
while single HD5870M is almost as good as HD5770 desktop version, so single HD6970M is almost on par with dual HD5770 desktop version. That's a lot of power already for me. smile.gif

Regarding the animation designing, you're going to get more software/driver optimization by using Quadro GPU (Nvidia) or AMD Firegl, which is build exclusively for stuff like that.
But for me, if you already have dual or single HD6970M, everything will be smooth for you, in fact HD6970M already can handle all games at max currently.
Of course for future proof, HD6970M crossfire will have more advantage, its benchmark is almost as high as GTX570 desktop. nod.gif


Ok... Rather than hearing the good side ... can anyone tell the downside of R17xR3?
current malfunctioning issues all those , and other than processor , screen size , and graphic card, m17x is kinda on par with m18x rite ?

QUOTE
^
The M17x is very powerful already bro, it shouldn't have much problems gaming the upcoming games laugh.gif
You might want to consider it instead, save all the hassle of importing and having warranty problems later on hmm.gif
Just my 2 cents laugh.gif


the main reason im hesitating XD
i mean .. who knows what could happen during transport XD tsunami/ earthquake/ big octopus kill the ship / osama(his soul) snatch the plane AGAIN
then i need to wait another month for a new laptop ? HELL NO XD

Ok .. after some lengthy research .... since i was outdated for so long XD
I've made my choice for my future laptop + its accessories , I hope you guys can tell me your opinions + suggestions about it =D

I decided to go for an M17xR3, price after customization = RM 12k++

And about the accessories ... there are quite a few things im not so sure about >.< not sure are there better options but my current choices are :

1. Keyboard

a.Roccat Isku
b.Razer Black Widow Ultimate

2.Mouse

a.Roccat Kone+

3.Headphone

a.Steelseries 7H USB

4.Mousepad

a.Razer Destructor

5.Others

a.Roccat Apuri

I'm still searching for a monitor ...and considering wether should i buy speakers .... cause if im gonna rent a room .... i doubt i will have the chance to blast them... hope u guys can give me some advice on my choices =D btw roccat isku is not out yet =D but i think it will soon

btw my estimation is that all this will be around rm15k all together , if u guys can intro me to some good, honest , cheap shops i would be grateful =D
btw i live in malaysia ~ juz so u know =D shops at kl or jb area are fine for me =D

Not gonna comment on the monitor part because its too obvious that gonna hit the portability, but only choosen headphone got my attention.

Since you are having high budget, why don't you go straight to Trittion 5.1? Its around RM 800 with Amp and don't forget to buy External Soundcard as well.
*
hmm... so what external sound card will u recommend ?

QUOTE
If your gonna get kb and even monitor...wouldn't it be better if you just went ahead and get a desktop?


QUOTE
my answer's the same with tjinn, seems like you're getting monitor, keyboard....won't you consider a desktop instead? and i see that you're gonna rent a room, won't moving be a hassle later on?


well for that ... i was thinking of putting it in the room only .... when im on the go im not gonna bring all that lol >.<
the keyboard and monitor are gonna remain put in the room =D

Malaysia originally come witb complete cover where US offer limited warranty only.

Destructor will be very annoying. I will prefer roccat sense. Headset go for kave is better than any same range headset. Even though other7.1 is virtual only. Kave with true 5.1 output is a lot better than 7.1 ur laptop have 5 jacks so u have to fully utilise it. Not buying a head set only with 1 green jackz. Wasted
*
hmmmmm i did consider kave .... >.< and why would destructor be annoying ?

I think you've made wise decision, taking into considerations issues which might arise in the future, rather than buying blindly  nod.gif
Wow, looks like you're going to get yourself some really serious collections of gadgets  drool.gif
If you're planning to sell any in the future let me know ya hehe  notworthy.gif  notworthy.gif
