Just get myself a new Alienware M14xR2 with the below customization:

3rd generation Intel® Core™ i7-3720QM Processor (2.6GHz with Turbo Boost 2.0 up to 3.6GHz, 6MB Cache)
Nebula Red with Soft Touch Finish
750GB 7200RPM Hard Drive
32GB mSATA SSD MiniCard (Caching)
2 GB GDDR5 NVIDIA® GeForce®GT 650M using NVIDIA Optimus™ technology
Killer™ Wireless-N 1202 a/g/n 2x2 MIMO for Gaming & Video and Bluetooth(MY)
McAfee® Security Center - 36 Months Version
Alienware TactX Mouse

The rest remain unchanged as stock. All in only cost me RM4469.

Good luck getting your laptop in 2 weeks time.

I ordered mine 2 weeks ago & still one "In Progress" when I check the order status website.

Emailed them this morning & was told the factory is short of supply.

When pursue them when will I get my laptop now, they could not give me an answer.

Really piss about it at the moment.

Gosh, the sales rep said it can be delivered within 2 weeks time.....worst is i need it urgently what is your estimated date of delivery in the first place? mine is on 18 July 2012.

They never said a thing about it during purchase, told me will get it in 1 1/2" weeks.

I was happily waiting for it's arrival, but never see the status update in the order status website.

Until I found out this morning, so much of getting before today......

I was waiting for it to arrive so I can collect it while I free as well, this is a set back to me too.

My Diablo 3 is there rotting as well!

Can't tell you how is the game myself because I haven't' receive my M14X yet, got it purposely for it.

As for the delay & shortage, it's really disappointing....if I knew so, I would have just go with Asus.

there wont be happening

Well if u got it..
Dont forget to hit that pm button and give me a review about that game ^^

Asus also delay right now..
Too much orders..

By the way.. M14x for sure will have parts shortage since the 12% price reduce promotion..

GTX580M SLI = 3200 + PSU
GTX680M Single = 2800

Woww.. For me, better buy single GTX680M. No need to change PSU. And yet I get the same performance. If have extra money, buy another 680 and the PSU......

My M14xR2 arrived pretty quickly after i ordered it, just 6 days. It just arrived last Saturday. Mine specs similar to chowdm's M14xR2 but I dont have the 2GB card and Killer WiFI chip. Got it RM4255 and is loving it.

bro.. to u were got imba... is BA BA alll the way!!

Emm...that was fast ...i wish i can get it ASAP too....my diablo 3 is waiting me....

hi guys... is it advisable to get the Dual Hard drive: 750GB 7200RPM Hard Drive 32GB mSATA SSD MiniCard (Caching) or just stick with the 1TB 5400RPM Hard Drive? What would be the pros and cons. Thanks in advance.

Go read about how Asus treat his customer when claiming warranty.

You will think twice.
