thanks again bro. appreciate the info

haha, but i thought the m15x is replaced by the m14x though...but i still can see the laptop being sold in retail shops though....

Duh so jelly of you guys buying such expensive laptops.

Care to share the reason of your purchase for a gaming laptop instead of a top of the line gaming desktop? Mobility?

Mobility, superb warranty support, cool factor, perfect craftsmanships & built etc. etc.

as what T.J said....but the cool factor sure is one of them...man, i would bring my laptop into starbucks and sit there, while everyone is using their apple....most apple users here are such posers...seriously speaking

Haha.... too bad its not such a wise move over here... the only thing you'll attract here if you bring your AW to starbucks are thiefs
I have to admit that in Malaysia, Alieware's are rare to see than Apple, even the M11x which is more portable

Pricing would be a factor there.

True, but those who can buy a Mac, even the cheapest MBA11, could afford an M11x as well
But then why would Apple fanboys appreciate Alienwares

Do you actually play serious games in starbucks, or just surfing net.

It's heavy & big right?

Ya its heavier than most laptops of the same size haha, which probably explains why no one brings them to Starbucks (at least not here)....
I've never been to Starbucks haha so I'm in no place to comment
But I think those who go there would only surf the net, at least that's what I'd do...
Gaming on battery is not that fun

lol, yea, neither do i see them here in HK...it's mostly people with macbooks...lol....

i agree

lol...nah, i doubt that i would actually bring that around town anyway...lol

gaming on batt lasts 1 hour max i think....so either way, i doubt that anyone would actually bring that beast over to starbucks...lol...

i just knew today (after>4 months) that the eSATA port on the right of the m15x beside the USB port can be used as a USB port

Hey bro, thanks for your help! The good news is that it DOES exist in HK retail shops. I'm hoping I'll be able to find an R3 looking around the marketplace. How much more overpriced are the older models though? And are they R1s or R2s (I can't see where you place the specs )?

I'm crossing my fingers I'm gonna find an R3 there...I found a few articles from blogs that some retail scores used to carry m11x models back in October 2010. I'm hoping it stays true up to now.

So if you not really bringing it out may i know why choose expensive alienware instead of powerful desktop which you can keep upgrading them?

Also do you hook up your alienware like a desktop to LCD TV/Monitor, surround sound speakers, external keyboard & mouse etc? Coz it'd become more like Desktop already.

i did some walking around just now around WanChai, and there is this computer center beside the southern basketball court (Mtr exit A5, the left building once you've exit the station), there is a dell shop there, but yet again, they don't carry ex-stock there....but honestly, looking at the specs i just gave you, those are older specs...so don't expect much man....

that is so true...
just realized that there is 3 usb port when my friend forcefuly plug it on esata instead of unplugging my cooler.. hahaha
but esata port is kind of tight so should be careful not to plug unplug roughly... broken means, hardware replacement..

Yeah I also found out after awhile after owning a M15x

True, that's why I seldom use it! Scared rosak!

well, for me is mainly cuz of mobility , and i do hook up speakers and mouse keyboard etc, but no monitors lol.
im the type of guy that is always on the move ~ staying at frenz house occasionaly , and gaming with them, and i constantly move between KL and Johor.... so a desktop is not really a good choice for me , and aw is kinda like a desktop replacement ~ i mean the 1 i want ~ m18x. and it looks cool =D

lol, that's same, as like usb3.0 also can plug-in 2.0
