Thanks for making the Alienware M11X R3 purchase via me. biggrin.gif

I feel its the right choice to go for 8GB ram and 750GB HD currently.
The 16GB ram SSD hd price is too expensive currently. Later when the price drop for those 2, you can alwys buy and upgrade it to ur M11X R3.

My M11X R2: I7 with 8GB ram is fast and good enough for me.
I use it mainly when going outstation for normal browsing, watching HD movies, view videos/pics xfer from digital camera, play games n stock market trading, etcs.
Its small compact and perform well. Battery last about 4hrs for basic browsing use.

I carry it around with:
Sleeves. (go to nearby coffee shop, etcs.)

Backpack. (travel outstation, work etc)
http://www.targus.com/hk/product_details.asp?sku=TSB11301AP

U can buy Dell slim adapter if u feel the alienware adapter not slim enough.
http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...l=dell+slim+air

Other like Acbel also small and compact adapter.
http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...hl=slim+adapter
Lowyat also selling the white colour version.. 65W.. cheaper <RM100

Other stuff u can consider getting is the protection for keyboard, screen and housing.

Just to check with members here. Is there any one purchased M11x R3 i7 with 8gb ram?

How's the performance so far?

Upgrade to 16gb is insane expensive with RM3k++ additional  sweat.gif also the ssd RM1.5k additional  sweat.gif
Maybe R4 or R5 release then i install those hehe  laugh.gif

I have the Dell slim air adapter. Can buy mine if u want it fast. tongue.gif
I still have full set with box n manual.

This Dell slim air adapter is complete set for traveller. Can be use inside airplane, car, etc. drool.gif

http://forum.notebookreview.com/dell/21115...ter-review.html

Alienware M11X R3 running on powercord with 90W adapter.

The slim air adapter is specifically made for notebooks that require 65W power, notebooks that require 90W power will operate slower and the battery will take a long time to charge than it would with a standard 90W adapter.

If you want small and best performance, should go for the Acbel power adapter.. lowyat selling abt rm150+

Thank for the info bro. That y I only go for 8gb (For now HEHE)

Its 90W.

65W also can use but slower battery charging and normal performance.

I also use it for my M11X R2 when travelling outside.
Battery charging time slower abit.
Performance wise... still ok.

Some heavy duty task/gaming needs high power adapter..its recommended for 90W adapter.

Only R1 have hinge problem.

I'm using R2, no problem ler.. Dell already fix it in newer model.

R3 is the latest.. more advance and better version compare to R1 & R2.

Urs R3 have 3 yrs complete cover.. no need worries. Any broken parts or faulty hardware, dell will replace it for u.

After 3 yrs complete cover warranty, you still can extend the warranty to another 3 more yrs.++. Gold warranty.. etc..
For replacement, sometimes dell will request to email them the pic of the dmg part. Their onsite staff will come direct to your place to replace it.
Their onsite staff are well trained and equip with necessary parts n equipment to fix the hardware/parts problem.

Read but still hinge problem  cry.gif . Alien also not perfect. Hell nothing is perfect  cry.gif  cry.gif  cry.gif
3 years complete cover but will take few days for them to replace it or instant ? Before they replace new one, im sure need to do some investigation right?

The warranty that u proposed, is it the maximum? Ca I go beyond then that?

Dont have to register online. All your details & warranty already updated by the dell sales person.
Unless u want to chg ur information eg. like address chg, etcs u can go to dell website or call dell to update it for u.

To chk warranty, just key in ur service tag to chk ur warranty status.
http://supportapj.dell.com/support/topics/...=dhs&~ck=anavml

Any enquiries on the alienware system can call dell support for home user at : 1800-88-0022
http://supportapj.dell.com/support/topics/...dhs1&l=en&s=dhs

You already pay for the Dell support when u bought the alienware system, just provide the service tag n they will assist u.

QUOTE(doremon @ Jun 29 2011, 08:30 AM)
If I don't register online, will it effect anything? By right Dell should have all my details + warranty countdown right?

Thanks bro  notworthy.gif.


Added on June 30, 2011, 7:59 amOk, I already completed all my setup. I done my graphic work and networking with my desktop publishing company (Second job). Impressive. This bugger can compete with normal pc. Excellent choice if you into small notebook. But preferably, 16gb is a must. Bugger, all my ram (8gb) used up when I doing my designing  rclxub.gif .Monitoring via gadgets (sidebar on desktop).

I already explore everything but still can't find the turbo up indicator. Is there's any?

Overall is a recommended machine if u into portability. Waiting for R4 now. Hope will be 2.0g above processor.

U can get it from Lowyat plaza.

AP - 1 yr warranty about RM350+/-
Ori - 2 yrs warranty about RM480+/-

My costing RM278 for AP set.. battery fully charge can last about 6-7 hrs.. I use at office listen to mtv songs. So far so good. I like the finger slide sensor for increase/reduce vol/chg tracks. rclxms.gif Very easily to control. Yea.. the BT can link 2 diff BT devices at the same time.. eg. my lappie and my Hp...
so i can answer calls also when listening to songs on my lappie. And.. while playing PC games can answer calls from HP also.. brows.gif

Use its for skype and dota games also working fine.. I only noticed if bt pair with HP the distance of connection is much further compare to my M11X bt connection. The sound get breaking/loss when i move far abit from my lappie.. think maybe need 2 update my lappie bt driver hmm.gif

Maybe u can get it cheaper abt RM260 for AP set..

AP and Ori all the accessories + the packaging is same only diff is Ori 2 yrs warranty whereas AP only 1 yr warranty.
The warranty covers the battery as well.

For me i'll get AP coz after 1 year if battery weak/have problem still can buy new battery from jabra ...after 1 year the new set price maybe drop/cheaper ...

If u use headset often and prefer to be wireless, then okla.. can consider getting it. Can multi use for hp and pc also.
If not maybe just stick to the wired type..

QUOTE(doremon @ Jul 6 2011, 11:52 AM)
Actually Ap and Ori not much different right? I don't see any different also. Maybe terms on quality a bit only (I think)
To spend RM200+ on headphone  hmm.gif , I have to think properly here  laugh.gif

G53Sw still have stock? Most of the IT shop no stock ady... have to order but dun know when will get stock.
At RM4999 with 3D + all the power goodies.. its good for the buck.
Only the size abit big and weight quite heavy to be portable .

M11X & M14X are quite comfortable to carry around.
Will be great if the price can be cheaper close to 3K.

May i know how much can i sell my m11x as in im using it for a year and its covered by Complete cover warranty for 2 years (1 year left) and the hinges part slightly making some noise right now, and i think that it could be replace as in i purchased the complete cover warranty for 2 years. smile.gif

It's R2 version and i5-520UM spec. 4gb ram with GT335m GPU.

Thinking to upgrade to either 14x or 15x.

Yeah, RM 200 extra discount because dell websites just comes out with new promotion. (only one out of the 3 current M14X configuration have special RM200 discount)
Not many ppl realized it... The high spec configuration price at dell website still no discount. Its more on marketing /website info not updated yet.

My dell sales friend know abt the latest discount n offer the Rm200 discount to u..
If he still use the old promotion price...i can get the extra RM200 from u.. brows.gif

Enjoy using ur new M14X... icon_idea.gif
