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

Noted, thanks for the quick reply bro...i will order my M17x R3 now, and hopefully i can get it on time to do some serious gaming...haha...

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

question, do i need to leave my laptop charging overnight for the 1st time?

haha, thanks bro....quite excited to get it....

8 hours...lol...just do the basic setup 1st, then let it charge overnight....can't wait to start gaming with that...haha

well then, what will your advise be?

haha, cheers bro....nah, i'm not a hardcore Dota fan, although i do play HoN from time to time...i'll be playing Dragonage, Mass Effect and some other games out there!...

right, but what if i'm on a plane? my company just informed me i might have to go to Germany on 9th of May (technically, that is the week that i am supposed to receive my laptop), and i heard that there are power ports on planes now, so i hope i can game a bit on it.

umm, my specs are following the Dell in HK, but i'll list it out for you anyway.

i7-2720QM, 17.3 Full HD LCD panel, 8 GB DDR3 RAM, 2 GB AMD Radeon HD6970M, 2*750GB 7200RPM HDD, Blu-ray disc drive.

I got it for about HKD 24,520, convert it back to RM, it should be around RM9,437?

cheers bro....i hope i can get it on time before i fly....gonna be a 12 hour flight from here to Frankfurt....kinda dreading to go there though...D:!

congrats bro ....how long did you wait to get it?....did you get the 3D option as well?....

i personally am not a fan of 3D things....it used to be cool when i was like 10 or 12? not now...i find it dizzy....

dun worry bro, i'm also waiting for mine to arrive, i just ordered it today....i hope i can receive it before i fly....xD...at least i can do something on a 12 hour flight...the problem with me is that i can't sleep in planes....hence why everytime i touchdown...i feel groggy....

huh? 1st week of April? why so long though? have you checked with Dell?

i just got my order confirmation....ETA is on or before 26th of May....booo so lame....have to wait so long...i hope the wait will be worth it!

haha, damn, that's a bit long isn't it?...i just ordered mine yesterday, and they ETA is 26th of May, i hope it's slightly faster, before i fly...xD

Dell states that normally it takes 2 to 3 weeks, but according to replies back then, it depends on whether they have the parts for assembly at that time...sometimes the testimony on Dell website says that they received their gear after a week , not sure whether Dell paid them to write something like that or not...haha

haha, congrats bro....hopefully you won't lose your sleep over too much gaming....haha

hmm, i hope it'll be the same for me....xD...i can't wait!....

hmm, i think based on the specs of the alienware, i think it shouldn't be a problem using autocad....although my current old laptop can still use autocad, but during rendering, it takes forever...hence why i only render in the office.....

SSD now still pretty expensive to me....maybe my next laptop (maybe 2-3 years time?) SSD will be cheaper?....haha, hopefully....

yea...it's a REAL wallet burner right there....haha

haha, sadly, that's what WE all say....but who knows, i need it in the future, i'll get it then....ahaha

mann, i'm so anxious on getting my alienware....almost everyday thinking about it.....the waiting time is quite a killer....

with the SSD, does the boot up time for Win7 speeds up a whole lot?....i didn't get the SSD option though......

oh, surprisingly, HK is selling it online somehow....prices start from HKD 31,999.00 a bit pricey to me though

Dell just called, my laptop is gonna be sent out on monday, and will reach me either next wednesday, since next tuesday is a public holiday....
