.... i got 160 post o.o ...XD

congratz on the V8

going to get m14x real soon

M18x.... i gonna get it by OCT, not on may..... finish playing with M17x-R3 only change.... haha

BTW gratz from V8

AW getting larger following day by day

How's ur M17xR3 now?

me too..m14x.

Congrats on the V8!!! nice 1 doc!!!

i'm gonna sell my m15x and m11x soon!!! lol, mabey i can get m18x beside my upcoming sager np7280 ! i wanna try sager stuff, i'm really bored with alienware and their issues and bad costumer service ! but i really think m15x is one of the best 15 inches ever made, lawyas Runs coooooooooooool...first i started with alienware m17x with 4870 2x but that really annoyed me by the high tempratures and crossfire errors now and then...! lol i WISh alienware could offer GTX485M SLI and 6970M CF WITH i7 Desktops.....

i dont face any problem with my 4870 CF, as well as my temperature keep at 70'c only.

i've already sold my unit long time ago, but first months i had it ATI drivers supports wasn't good, i was facing Blue-screens through reaching heat to 90...which fixed with BIOS and GPU drivers wasn't enough good...!

would u even wanna carry a dual socket 330W psu around? plus, you would get alot of auto shutdown in due to the amount of power needed just to power your dual 485s and desktop i7.

and one more..... games tend to lag all of a sudden becos of power trips too. you will notice it. that is why alienware doesnt go for wot clevo is doing. i had that promblem with my 7280 that is why i returned it.

+1. Some how i prefer mobile sandy bridge more than desktop i7. M18x no longer portable compare to laptop but it is still portable ckmpare to desktop. But with the money i rather go for a desktop+laptop

nice one... if i got money i sure get M18x... XD

How much for this baby?

RM1xxxx

WALAO my name not included =( M11X

i dun use my laptop outside + people who would buy something like m18x and np7280 which are between 5 to 6.2 kg know that these are Desktop replacement and they dun need to really carry them outside ! so thats y i had m11x, but i replace it with macbook air ! lol haha, just i get Desktop Replacement because i need the power and the rest ! ive got my own macbook air and ipad for carry outside .... my friend using two PSU of 330W and i7 970, as far as i know there is no problem for shutting down becuz of bridge, u can make sure by asking people who own it in Owner lounge of np7280 at notebookreview .... i wil get 6970m CF not GTX485m SLI...its much of money becuz of only 7% increase in benchmarks which are quiet useless for me ! and there are no issues since sager produced second PSU with bridge for 6970m CF and GTX485m SLI if u know.... and the point would be for me having m18x is good but i dun care about the beauty anymore actually cuz i used to alienware design and fleshy lights but i never satisfyed with the perfermence that i wished, i think that would reached by having sager and a Desktop CPU which can USE ALL THE POWER OF A CROSSFIRE AND SLI SCALE....i think i would prefer m18x with only 2920XM not less...but i am not sure about the build quality of m18x since its their first time producing m18x...so i would wait first, but for sure i go for np7280...mabey later i can buy a m18x.
BTW
what spec u were using???
using two PSU?
for my own experience i played metro 2033 with i7 970 and GTX485mSLI plus 12gb ram....i set the res at 1080 and DX11 and very high without AA and i had around 30 to 38 frame, and i really played about an hour becuz i was enjoying the brilliant graphics, i didnt experience any lag or heat issue and turning off.....
can u explaine me more?
even at notebookreview owner lunge no one had problem of lag of sudden power trips. except before producing second PSU by sager.

btw how much u sped for that system?

hey guys, wanted to ask a question... what if lighting strike kena my laptop? can claim warranty ?

can.

me?? for the np7280? well my friend got it from xotic pc around 3800USD...i want to spend around 3500USD to a 100 more or less, but i am waiting to see, how the m18x would act in market and how will people say about it, becuz its first time producing, once to buy is a bit risky, specially if its a Desktop Replacemnt due to many issue such as cooling and driver supports and BIOS and so on.... . so far i am interested in np7280 since i worked with it, which is for my friend, and it really satisfied me, i would prefer performance to a fleshy and eye cath desing generally and build quality.

paying 3500USD for a laptop and seldom bring outside, what a waste. i use RM3000 can get double performance for the laptpo u getting.

i cant really get a clue of your post...of course as i mentioned DTRs are not for carrying outside...and you WOULD SPEND only 3000RM on WHICH LAPTOP to get double-performance of a i7 960 and Dual GPU power? lol or i cant get a clue of your post...

i got a fren bought a alienware pc just for worksheets ....!!!

Haha some people just want the style, brand and "fame"

yup, i can spend RM3000 to build a desktop performance double of ur laptop. Core i7 2500k i clocked to 4.5ghz with stock cooling. with GTX580. might not be double performance, vantage comfirm over 30k, if pay a little bit more for better mobo can clock to higher rate, where ur laptop can perform the most at 23k for vantage.

LOL~V8 d..congratz..I m on the list as well..hahahx..

Mine was 980x n sli 480ms. Now the reason why aw didn't go for desktop i7s are becos they are immensely innifficient in laptops. Thus they went for a processor the SB. By giving lower power consuming processor, it would mean that the gpus have a lower risk of throttling. Tht is where my hexacore n dual 480s come in conflict. Both of them, power hungry and constantly fighting for more power. Therefore more power was sucked. The 300w psu they provided couldn't handle the demanding so it cuts itself out from the wall causing it to trip. Becos of this problem, they have to use a 330w psu. Even tht can't solve the problem. They have use a dual socket. Yes im always at nbr checking. Even speedy Gonzalez thought it was it was inefficient, tht is why he sold his off. I'm not telling u not buy but just telling don't expect too much from it. Afterall, its powers had been limited due to the power cap.

whats the price for m18x ?

i thought you are talking about a laptop...well in that case is not fair to compare a high-end laptop Raio-Price-Bulid to a desktop, desktop can be 3000 to over ply 15K with same spec that u are talking, yes it depends on person, i am international student and i dun prefer having desktop, in my own country my brother having spec of i7 990EX and dual GTX 480 perhpas around 6000RM ... lol but i was talking about laptop, what i tried to say it was i am not satisfied with alienware specifications !!! for example offering a single 460m in m17x is a total waste of buy, not enough power...they better use at least 480m ....

yes its ture friend, everybody almost had that problem, but nowadays with having the newest BIOS, i guess before supporting of 6970m BIOS, temp are running cool + power consumption with recommended additional PSU and convertor box for 485m SLI and 6970m CF users, there are no problem ! mabey you could wait, cuz as i mentioned i did try with my friend's np7280 and there wasnt any problem with having 600WAT !!!!!!!! even for 470m SLI users may be require of they wish OVERCLOKING and pushing their np7280 limitations to further more of what it acts. personally as far as i asked people who are having SLI and CF in np7280 and my own experiment there are no problem, BUT for sure against to upcoming m18x ... for having a powerhouse np7280 you may require to sacrifice beauty and weight and HUGE MONSTERICAL PSUs and power adapter to a huge better performance.
about not being efficient of core i7 desktops at laptops i do agree...but i guess they would use more power of a SLI scale and CF scale of powerful cards like 6970 and gtx 485 over a Mobility Sandy-Bridge, how much i am not sure...wait to c the m18x results and bechmarks soon at Notebookcheck !
should be something around 1000RM for a good Config...low or less, it would start at 2000USD something for sure, add on up to 3000USD i guess for having nice specs

nice ncie, BTW what i know m18x would started with RM8999 if started in malaysia. some how last time i spent almost 16k for a laptop, i think too waste d. hahaha
thats y i go for desktop and a laptop and a bunch or Alienware watching me using my desktop. haha

I serowpoke liao~

Sorry... Say what?? I don't understand...

Based on price analysis, I believed start should be RM 8,499 to 8,999 for basic specs

yes my mistake, i was meaning to say 10000RM for a good spec ! up to 10K plus i guess with choosing SSDs and 2920XM and so on Dual GPUs.

Well, M17X R3 with max specs is RM 11k plus...
So I expect 2.5k extra for i7 2920XM and CF 6970
Easily 14k to 15k

Sorry for being slowpoke, but grats Doc for V8!!!

if only i have rm10k to burn on lappys T_T

wut wut!! my first spam in V8!!!
and literally spam.. hahaha..

that brings back the answer. that is why the idea for an dsktp i7 on AW is repudiated.

i dont mind the x7200. i would love to reown the relaunch version. but financial needs puts me in a barrier between m18x and x7200.

and due to the fact the m18x can last 2 hrs or more than x7200. plus the and more efficient SB and stbr GTX485M for m18x makes it better as it scales better than other M quad core processor or maybe even a desktop processor.

but even though ther are not that efficient, using core i7 desktops in these laptops....always in notebookcheck benchmarks, they have the MAX Performance compare to any other laptops.

yes financial i do agreeeee.....both are expensive machines if we really want to customize something like a real BEAST/

regarding of your last line, it think with choosing a 6970m CF we can have long battery in x7200 due to turning of CF scale and switch to VPU graphic core, its one of the features of 6970m as well, like the M17X but i am not sure...YEs but as i mentioned with even using 2920XM i dun think so it will be possible to beat the score benchmarks of a GTX45mSLI and 6970m CF of a sager laptop as i mentioned due to having almost 600WAT power adapters for them plus a desktop CPU would use ALL THE POTENTIAL of these sli and CF configuration... . this would be for sure.
GTX485m SLI will not be available for m18x i guess...even 6970m CF there is doubts, but hopefully is there, but yes m18x advantages would be due to using SD moblity and hoeverver any other GPU, it would require much less power computation and having lower heats as well...for sacrificing perfectness beside it
i guess m18x going to be great choice for hard core gamers...i am so excited to c the reviews.
BTW nowadays CrossFire scales are perferming better than SLI scales....specialty, in more heavier games....i didnt fin crysis 2 suitable with 485m sli with those drivers errors and low FPS ! lol we should wait for new drivers.. but 6970m CF already has better FPS in crysis 2 and 1 and METOR 2033 all MAXED out and some other games...which made me to buy it, cuz paying 700USD more for only 7 % increasing in performance is a lots of WASTE
i guess if they use 6970m CF in m18x that would be nice choice fot those who are needy! having monster lappppppys

because there are no laptops with a SB proc and dual gpu yet. so m18x will be the 1st. the x7200 was never a full scale flagship laptop. i was an experimental by looking at it. they did an absolute wonderful job at making a wee x58 board size and slap a desktop proc on it. but know the inefficiency of a desktop chips on a laptop, aw opted out. i dont think your wish of an aw with desktop processor is goin to happen for any time. it is also pointless at this time to insert a hexacore processor in a laptop as it has minimal utilization for all six core. most games run perfectly of 2 and 4 cores. the other 2 has little or no usage thus making it a liability for the system.

and of course....u wont see any of a dsktp proc on an AW laptop becos of their flagship auroras and alx. putting these processors means that their desktop would make minimal impact on the market or the other way around. both has its pros n cons.

yup, some how on the desktop if wanna overclock only available for 980x or 990x, other proccessor have to use software.
even though have 6 cores, even the metro 2033 or Crysis 2 only used up to 4 threads only. i prefer SB in notebook because of batterylife(switchable graphic card within intel 3000 and the dedicated GC), i doubt that X7200 can stand more than 1 hour in maximum performance and i think cant even stand for 2 hours for performance saving even less. m18x will never my idea laptop, since gonna get it for review only, taking a 18.4" laptop i rather get a desktop. but m17x-R# is a good performance and able to portable(but still i think no need such a high end PC) since when we go out for gaming we not going to use the dedicated graphic card(battery life concern), if we gonna use, we need to find plugs. go out for few hours gaming, lower graphic card should be ok, and i think not all of out friend having good PC/laptop to play game with us, so normal laptop would do. My XPS 15 serve me well

m18x make me goes crazy

m18x makes me poor

It makes me more conscious about saving more money!
It just has that unique sense of attraction combined with power

Received an email from my cousin
My baby alienkun is arriving before or on May 2nd...
I hope before

What are the chances for it being before??
Please Dell... Have mercy on me and send by April 30th...

usually takes how long for alienware to release r1 r2 and r3 ?

if you know what R means, you will know that it depend on hardwares release or progress on the market

Heroez
Think it this way. You can try to predict when Intel will release the Ivy Bridge verison of mobile processor. When it does, usually Alienware will release a refresh of its models, maybe in the forms of M11x-R4, M14x-R2, M17x-R4 and M18x-R2. It is purely my speculation, but you can take it as a rough guide as to when a new revision will be released.

Omai~ I feel screwed nao~

Wah, so young only?
Feel old

hahaha!

relax!

congratz on V8...
nice job by Mr.Doctor.. Thx

btw, selling off my M17x and funding for m18x..

Added on April 25, 2011, 3:00 pmbattery life for m18x only last for 3 hours++ ???
zzzzzZZZzzzz

Heard that it can last for 10hours+ coz of sandy bridge?
but review only 3 hours+..

This post has been edited by cy-yang: Apr 25 2011, 03:00 PM

10 hours+ is for M11x?
3 hours on an 18" laptop is very good already, comparable to the previous generation 14" o

wandering to see M18x ^^

hm thinking about the same thing too... but i think its time for me to move on now, concentrate on more important matter like..

thats the current thought tho, don't know if it change once M18x arrived here!

hahaha

wondering who is the oldest most matured here? any beyond 30?

Fuyoh, someone got gf already?
Gamers are always young at heart

wedding ady ?

Hmm... I wonder if there's anyone younger than me here~

no monneh lol.

hmm anyway long time i didn't tweak my GPU. last night just install latest SLi driver to optimized Crysis 2, the framerates down tremendously.

single GTX280M could push up till 35 FPS on Advance setting but after enabling SLi, framerates down not reaching 20. suspecting outdated GPU Driver.... gonna fix this by next weekend as my holiday ended by today

Suggestion: Fix it by getting the M18x bro

Strange... My M15x is capable of running Hardcore at 2x-36 fps and 4x-60fps+ on Advanced~

can add me in alienware list M11x user here.. ^^

Don't forget the join our FB page too~

Highly doubt haha
Not many parents wiling to buy an alienware for his son

wow... v8 alreadi...

closing shop already. new system implemented by Dell making the Staff Discount to be not applicable anymore. but already roger to my uncle if he know any way for me to get it cheaper again, he will email to me (which i think will be quite a long time before new system will be implemented)

i believe a lot of seller here will be affected as well.

seems like this is the best for me. maybe He want me to concentrate more on my study

nooooooooo..so sad to hear this mr.docter

Aiseh..sedih..dah tutup kedai..
in the future maybe i need ur help for m14x discount..

wondering how much can we sell for this babe?? i think less than 5k.. (better keep it) lol
any latest news when m18x coming Doc?
will less than 10k?
