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+..

hahaha!

relax!

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? 

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 suspecting outdated GPU Driver....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

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

guys, i'm gonna be a new alienware user here, but 2 things i need to clarify...

1) Intel iCore 2720QM will be good enough, or should i get 2820?
2) 1GB AMD Radeon HD 6870M or 1.5 GB Geforce  GTX460M OR 2GB Radeon HD 6970?

I need answers by today so that i can place an order with Dell.

Thanks guys

alright guys, i've just ordered my M17x R3, getting excited!...i hope it'll come to me on 9th of May...

i was also told that the customized nameplate is no longer an option. even if i order it from the US. they said if i customize it in the US site they will call me and tell me that they don't engrave them anymore.

Considerig to get the m14x just wanted to know if there are any known issues?

does M15x had any know issues too? Coz i'm getting one next month>.<

Wow bro, you are seriously bless with money.

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?

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

Pricing would be a factor there.

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

It's heavy & big right?

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?

I've been using my m11x r3 for a few days now since saturday.

Received the wrong power cord though, had to buy a 7RM one to be able to temporarily plug my laptop to the adapter.

.. and the adapter so big as hell, it's too bulky.

I'm trying now to get the correct power cord or even have DELL replace the whole adapter to the slim one, hope they allow it.

How to get to the ownerlist? hehe need to put service tag here? (Although my service tag isn't in dell's system yet)

I thought Mr Docter's Alienware uses GTX280 SLi which is better?
Yes they are upgradeable provided the BIOS support it, and the power supply is sufficient.
But I've found modded BIOS for M17x R2 if I am not mistaken, at Tech Inferno forum, whereby with this BIOS
there is no more restriction on what card could be installed.
The easiest way to see this is to compare what console are available on that time.
For example, right now we have XBOX360, and as long as XBOX360 is still in the market, then most probably
you can play most games on high, until next gen of console is arrived, it is expected next gen console from Microsoft
will be released on 2013. This is the time where most graphics engine got updated to a new level, as many games currently
are ported from console. But, with the specs of current high end GPU, I would say it will last longer.
What I said is based from what have been discussed in other forum.

Mostly high end graphic card is minor different compare each other. Just the graph of the review made the customer mind what to buy. Simply just a few fps different.
I own most of the alienware, but still...... well after u guys step in desktop world then only u know what is performance

Yeah that could be the question. Probably no longer play games after getting married, thanks for the reminder,
Need to revise the future plan.

Aren't branded stuffs in Aus more pricey ?
