Damn thats a good news. How much is your total damage bro, in RM?

Bro, add me as well to the M14x owner list. Thanks!

True that.

Cleaning up my GPUs now becoming one of my monthly activity during weekend. No more worried sweat after more than 7-10 times operating my Alienware LOL. Old system need some extra maintainence to keep it kicking arse. And I do plan to upgrade from 1TB (500GB + 500GB HDD) to 180GB SSD and 500GB 7200RPM Seagate Momentus XT for additional responsiveness.

How is yours? I don't think the water vapor gonna do any damage, at least not like the water dropped directly on your Alienware. And update regarding your GPU upgrading plan?

If you are planning to buy backpack other than Alienware Orion, make sure you double check the dimension of the backpack.

M17x is not an ordinary 17" laptop, if you know what I mean

M15x is also not an ordinary 15" laptop XDXD

Thanks bro!

BTW guys, any of you using the Seagate Momentus XT? I want to know what's the impact on the battery life is like. Heard that with the Momentus XT the usage time is decreased. Want to get first hand experience from you guys

All been my pleasure mate!

Hmm Astria is currently using it, as well as kira-kun too as his secondary HDD.

Ooh I see, I shall wait for their replies then. Thinking whether to swap out the stock 500GB 7200rpm drive for the Momentus XT or not

Battery life is quite an important factor to me, else I wouldn't even think twice. Of course SSDs are wayy too expensive for me

I don't think HDD/XT/SSD main the role factor in preserving battery life..

I think I've hit a breakthrough Someone here is offering to order laptops customized in the US, he'll take care of everything, shipping from the US, the filthy customs people here, for a small fee of RM 140 from the original US price, which is still cheap because Dell US has the best prices along with numerous discount coupons. Hopefully it all pushes through and I get my m11x in 2-3 weeks (Damn the wait is killing me).

haha, i know what you mean, my current backpack is supposed to be quite big, but when i tried to put my M17x in it, the whole thing can't fit another soul in it....but from all the reviews i've read, the Orion backpack seems to be the most ideal choice for me....but sadly, they dun sell it here in HK

@Doclem : congrats bro, hope you can get yourself one soon...

Not trying to be a party spoiler, but you should take note of issues with Momentus XT: http://www.lowyat.net/v2/index.php?option=...d=3996&Itemid=2
Momentus XT doesn't have much, if any effect on battery life compared to normal ones>?
The speed is faster though, not as fast as an SSD, but way faster than a regular HDD, so I guess its worth it

been using my m17x r3 for one month i think

mostly close the lid cause plug to external tv and open 24 hour

so it will get warm the whole keyboard there.

use notepad cooler will help?

which best for it or few option?

If budget permits, Cooler Master Storm SF19
If not, a regular Cooler Master NotePal U3 would do

CM Storm SF19 is impressive... but nidda use ac power

^
Any idea how much does it cost?

its selling in moderno shop near ss15...
its price is rm219
this is the link to it.....
