WOOOOOOOOO!03-May-201 Manufacturing Build Complete.
Now the even longer wait for my M11x to arrive in Malaysia.

Is Alienware made here in Malaysia or in China (as with the XPS systems)

i just knew today (after>4 months) that the eSATA port on the right of the m15x beside the USB port can be used as a USB port

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!.... biggrin.gif

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

If you are selling it cheap, I'm sure there's M15x owners would like to buy it! (including me, if I have extra cash to upgrade  tongue.gif )
The ATi 6970 is compatible with the M15x?  drool.gif

Just the fans need use software to control(always running on 50%) sad.gif

so how much is the M17x R3 selling for now? at the malaysian dell page it's a minimum 7.4k with gtx460m only.
edit:
my m11x-R1 hinge just got replaced and i didn't need to pay anything (my warranty expired too). I feel that all m11x owners should know this. Dell should replace your broken hinge even after warranty because this is a known defect.

what you need to do,
1.) Snap a picture of your broken hinge
2.) Send these links to Dell

Chris M response, this is the most important post, it saws that dell will replace the hinge regardless of warranty (it has to be broken first though).
http://en.community.dell.com/owners-club/a...6.aspx#19814636

Dell's update on the issue
http://forum.notebookreview.com/alienware-...3-5-2011-a.html

List of owners with this issue
http://forum.notebookreview.com/alienware-...ed-already.html

Root cause of the issue

3.) ????
4.) Profit.

ya, r1 user if warranty expired also can request for replace the problem hinge.
