well, bringing out in a sense that i don't go out daily with my laptop, but my work requires me to fly around the world, and hence this is why i considered an AW....i need to look at CAD drawings, and sometimes, the file gets so big, that it lags my current laptop badly...i dun use the AW to game 100%, i can also use it for work....

haha, honestly, i feel that the M14x's spec ain't as good as the M15x....and the m15x sold here is using GTX460M....not 260M..xD

oh, maybe i saw wrongly @@.....well, from what docter said, it might launch soon in M'sia, better keep your hopes high bro!....

Damn, that's too bad bro. Thanks for all your help though! I'll tell you guys about it, how my quest went when it does, maybe even post here when I'm in HK myself. Thanks for all the help again, really great community here, I hope to be part of the AW owners club too LOL.

so, m15x users with custom name plate are now a dime in a dozen eh?

ya, m15x have dual cooling fans, cooling system better than 14x, and can diy

i hope m18x will have custom name plate ... but i honestly DOUBT it will ever happen =.=

just ordered my m14x from dell.
now the wait begins.

congrats =D hope i get mine soon too =D

You won't be able to sleep until it reaches your doorsteps.
I am telling you this, based on experience

congrats on your purchase bro..

yea...i'm feeling it right now....mine comes tomorrow....xD can't wait!

Damn I'm all so jealous of y'all...BTW, if I buy on retail I won't get the custom nameplate right? Where exactly is the plate located? And is it nice?

EDIT: All this talk about the m14x is making me second-guess purchasing an m11x. Any m11x owner care to give me some reassurance about its CPU power and screen size? I own an 11in Asus netbook, so I'm hoping I won't be bothered by the small size. I also have a Q6600 desktop with a GeForce 9600GT GPU (a 2 year old desktop) which still plays all the latest games at high settings so I have a primary computer.

I plan to use the m11x for word processing, gaming and multimedia on-the-go. So far the reviews I've seen show that the m11x can play SC2, Crysis at med-high settings which I don't mind at all, and yet I see some people always complaining about its 'lack of power'. Anyone care to give me some reassurance?

Should have
Just that it wont release when it first release

lol. thanks thanks.
i'm having it delievered to my dad's workplace. outstation atm.
will pick it up from there next month only.

don't worry about it, it takes dell either 2 to 3 weeks to complete the manufacturing of the laptop, so eventually, you might get it when you go to ur dad's workplace...hehe

There might be little discomfort changing from big screen (>15) to a small screen (<15) at first, but i can assure you it will get better from time to time, i finally get through it after 2 weeks of using it when i first borrowed the M11x from my sis. But i am sure it is slightly bigger than your 11inch Asus netbook.

So far i am very satisfied with its battery and CPU power, it can hold up to 6~7 hours of normal usage (Programming, web surfing, movie) and 4~5 hours of intense usage (gaming), they claimed it can hold up to 8 hours but i have yet to experience it. I have no problem multi-tasking and running all my engineering softwares and i actually lurve it more than my m17x because of its mobility potential, where it enables me to move around my campus with ease!!

Since you already have a desktop for your primary gaming, M11x is more than enough for your "word processing, gaming and multimedia on-the-go".
It depends on your preference and budget seriously, no point getting something you don't like right?

M11x: less gaming potential, more mobility
M14x: more gaming potential, less mobility

Its your choice.

Meh, that's enough I need the mobility more because of my job, it's too much of a hassle lugging around a heavy weight. If I can still play the latest games on high settings that good enough for me

Well 14 inch isn't too heavy for me...
M14X gives a better overall package to me

so riccchhh

Normally how many years before an Alienware becomes obsolete like normal laptop already catch up with the processor & graphic cards? 3 years can? Or every 2 years need to buy a new one.

Or you can just upgrade the graphic cards like desktop?

High end Alienwares can last very long in terms of specs
Take the Doc's Alienware with GTX260 for example, its still better than most of the mainstream mid-level GPUs we get in the market now
Iirc, they are upgradeable for the M15/17x, and probably the M18x too

got to agree on that....hence why i said in my previous post...Value for Money....you pay for what you get....though i wouldn't count on the apple bandwagon at times....
