i've tried it. no luck.

Noticed that now every M14x purchased will use i7-2670QM instead of 2630QM.

Try Furmark Burn-in test. set it to use the integrated HD3000 GPU and then see the CPU and GPU temp shot up to over 100 degrees celcius in a matter of minutes. do this long enough and you have burn out processor at hand.

borrow from along

nothing wrong in selling refurbish or second hand laptop, as long as you advertise it as refurbish rather then brand new. It gave another option for the less fortunate gentlements who want top performance laptop but didn't have deep enough pocket.

can i change the nameplate on my m14x? When i ordered online, there's option to customize the nameplate. i write my own name on it. but when i got the laptop, there's only M14X written on the plate.

Anyone know what kind of hardware needed to be able to use the Simcard port?

3GB GT555M on m14x is waste of money. Someone slapped this info into my face yesterday. is this true?

I'm getting a second laptop soon. Probably Sager brand. planning on pitting it side by side with my M14x. The loser will be donated to my younger sis.

Now that you mention it, i rarely see M11x user join this thread. Please share your experience and any tips on the said machine. Don't be shy.

On M14x issue, is there a DIY way to better transfer the heat from the Processor area? maybe a strip of metal directed to the fan. My temp reading reach upper 90 last night.

will it look like this in M14x?

Still, after a while the fan will kick in to full speed and the noise will get just as loud. The BIOS update only delay the noise, not eliminated it altogether.

hard disk on the brink of failure?

i got a DVD stuck in my DVD drive. it won't eject

pried it out with credit card and a paper clip. luckily the drive is OK.

Is it possible to add a second HDD inside M14X?

If you looking for good gaming performance+portability+price, then this is the laptop. But if you're looking for superb display, then go for XPS. The truth is, M14X display is inaddequate. 45% color gamut compared to 90% XPS. When i gaming at home, i always hook my M14X to my Samsung TV.

anyone know how long the M14x battery will last in sleep mode?

you tell me. i ordered M14x with i7-2630QM and a month later, the i7-2670QM version came out.

my slot load drive ate my DVD again. It happen too often even after i replace the DVD drive.

Whoever design a the slot loader without manual eject must've been on the weed that day. The complaint goes back for years and yet Dell and several other companies choose to ignore it and retain the defective system.
