how i can hook up my PS3 to my M11X R1, i mean i want to use the laptop's monitor to display input from PS3. Just use HDMI cable hook up or need software?

Don't think can, its only HDMI OUT..
M17x R3 the one have HDMI IN..

How did you purchase the license key for Windows 8? Through Dell, perhaps?

Thank you for the information.

^should be from here, http://www.windowsupgradeoffer.com/

I'm planning to upgrade to win8 soon but i'm wonder does it require a fresh install ?
I guess that you just upgraded from win7 to win8, is there any issues for upgrading directly without fresh install?

btw what backpacks did you guys use to carry your m14x r1/r2 ? I'm looking for a good ones please recommend me some

There is an offer from windows 8 upgrade that if you purchase your laptop with windows 7 within july 2012 - march 2013, you can upgrade at a cost of RM50.

After you paid the rm50, you will receive cdkeys and be prompted to install a upgrade assistant which will check driver compatibility before it allows you to upgrade.

You can do clean installation like basic reformatting. You can do direct installation where every compatible apps are retained, user settings unchanged etc. It is like nothing is changed except wins 7 now becomes wins 8.

i use belkin backpack (15' laptop) for m14x r2. it costed around rm98 after discount

Direct upgrade without formatting seems save lots of hassle but hows about the old windows file? Are those old windows file deleted?

Which belkin backpack? belkin evo? How good is it in term of material quality etc?

any people know where can fix alienware 15x laptop ?

what's wrong to your m15x?

Added on November 8, 2012, 8:16 pmMy laptop was literally killed by either Dell faulty replacement palmrest or the clumsy engineer who caused the "magic smoke" by connecting the cables to the wrong socket.

The damage done turns out not to be only on the motherboard but also the HDD as well.

The situations are handled badly by one of the Dell employee and the engineer as both of them failed to detect that the HDD was already damage. I was literally asked to accept the new hdd/reformat of the old hdd which they were unsure about whether it is due to windows 8 or hardware failure. Everything could turn on without HDD, but when HDD plugged in, there is power failure [ which common sense in electronics would tell you that the current couldn't run through all the circuits and that the some of the circuits must have gone haywired].

It is funny that during the service they couldn't detect whats wrong with the HDD and spent 2 hours for the whole service (mobo and palmrest)

After they left, I was more or less devastated as all my documents in HDD and programs which need alot of time to install back are gone.

When I started to check whether the HDD was already died, I smelt burnt smell in the center of the disk and it was actually burnt during the last second repair which costed me the mobo.

Good thing is that Shelly on Facebook Dell Malaysia has requested a new replacement unit for my laptop. I refuse to think more about the loss made by Dell on my annotated documents and some personal files as thinking about would devastate me. I raise an official complaint to Dell and I would like to see what they are responding to this apart from sending me a new replacement.

Ya, me too. I had livechat with Dell and they said that GTX660 version will be available soon. They got a lot of customer feedback about the GTX 660 version.

Yea, using AlienwareFX 2.8.8.0 from Dell Site and it works

Added on November 8, 2012, 9:54 pmI wish they still offer Windows 7 for GTX 660 cause I don't want to add RM273 to have Windows 8 pro =.=

I got promo code to upgrade from Win 7 to Win 8 pro @ RM47 only ..
