Nope. 3 years. Only battery 1 year. Disable through BIOs

Battery life depends largely on the CPU you choose... For mine, the best battery time is 3.5-4 hours...
I believe the i7-2630QM should be able to reach 4.5-5 hours 
But the battery is integrated though, meaning that it probably won't last too long

U done on your unit already? Will void warranty wise? Later lots of question will be asked by them ?

Mine is m11x r2 bought during July'10 for starcraft 2 that time, lol... But that time only bought 1 year warranty. Thinking of extending the warranty but wanna know the hinge replacement program till when first?

good to hear that its fixed

Yeap, 3.5 -nearly 4 hours, dimmest/ lvl1 brightness, Wifi + surfing net. Lights: only the Alienware power button, logo and touchpad.

Wow, post-warranty extension is so expensive 

my M15x got ODD and overheating issue and dell tech already came to repair it. apparently it has become even worst than before, idle gc temp is 70deg 

gotta wonder, is the dell tech qualified aiyo...maybe what s my friends said is true, dell give onsite support because dell have many problem LOL

Hmm my m11xr1 is so dated. Play Starcraft 2 also cry...ever since I got iPad even worst m11x collect dust..do u think aw will com out with tablet?

I thought you're indirectly the 1st owner? hehehe   
Nice lappy there~~

got a used m17x r3 from US, friggin worst deal ever, the GPU will overheat up to 90C, when i open the case, i found out the f**king thermal pad was placed on the wrong surface, thank god i bought some new thermal paste and did a repaste, now the machine is performing up to expectations.

still though, i wasted 4 days to get everything up to my expectations ;

i got more horror stories

left speaker has buzzing sound, i had to strip the whole laptop down to barebones to glue 2 piece of papers togather, the buzzing is caused by the paper touching the speakers
missing screws
missing cmos cap/holder
...

yea just use the international transfer form at dell's site. it's actually immediate if you already have a dell account. i bought my m11x from malaysia dell so they could transfer it easily.

I slightly regret getting the m17x r3, the US seller was not an honest person. I shoulda went ahead with one of the more reputable resellers ie: HIDevolution but i wanted to get it cheap so i went ahead with the used one. still has bout 11months of warranty too.

heh that 6870m is the reason why your lappy is cheap, it's on par with a GTX460, but i wanted the 6970m and if you go to dell's us site you'll find it's a 250USD upgrade, the 6990m is a 300USD upgrade, maybe i should have waited a bit.

I bought for about 1900 USD including shipping with 8GB ram and 6970m, the rest is stock spec. but of course i had to deal with alot of issues with the seller  and this piece of shit of a machine before i can fully enjoy it.

all sandy bridge bridge are satat III, so just go ahead and get a sata III SSD, other than that dont waste money on those sata III HDD

haaa... y dun u put the nice 6990 or maybe the 6970 to the m17x that u gonna ship to me... hehehehehehe....

Anyone know where i can get bigfoot killer wifi in malaysia? Do dell sell it separately?

for those who are looking for a cheap m11x
