doc, planning for a new M18x? kelvin told me there will be and R3 coming soon with the new GTX680MX (from mac, sadly). almost bought 2 gtx680m :S

Just upgraded my m14xR2 to Windows 8 Pro.....not much of driver issue...everything just working out of the box....very impressed with its boot up time....previously was 11 sec...now is 7-8 sec only......for those who wanna utilize w8 features....you may wish to try the new logitech touch mouse T620...it is available at lowyat now....even without touch screen....we still can enjoy the w8 features to certain extend at least....

Click for details

Hmm are those games legit ? or *ahem* version? My borderland2 *ahem* version same as yours but I got it fixed

You direct upgrade or clean install? I did mine m14x R2 clean install , the only problem is the Alienware OSD wont work eventhough theres a guide for installing it from Dell

Mine one is direct upgrade....no issue...some of the games got crash...bcoz the MSI afterburner was running at the background....once i disabled it.....all of the games are running without any issue....my battlefield gained additional 3-5 FPS with Windows 8 Pro platform....which i was quite impressed:-)...Was using Metro for quite sometime...once i get used to it....it is really feel good actually....especially the messages apps....which combine my facebook and MSN into one platform.....everything just become very simple actually....

You using Dell home site installer to install the OSD?
My M14x R1 no problem and i using M14x R2 driver to install :\

We should definitely throw up an alienware LAN party .

So far I think direct upgrade no problem. I wanted to try UEFI boot , thats why I went for clean install while formatting the whole hard drive to gpt format. With UEFI, can try secure boot and win8 fast boot option

yes , driver from dell. tried install OSD with window 7 and window 8 driver separately still no luck.

Weird, mine works ok one..

FN + Volume +- also got the osd out.

Got it fixed. And everything back to normal. Not a single problem and all the buttons work as well.

you did direct upgrade or clean install ?

sorry double post

I upgraded first and then found that it's not really good after upgrade.
So did a new clean install.

Both works fine also with the OSD.

Which driver you used? Is the name of driver is App_OSD_W84_X02_A00_Setup-CCP3F_ZPE ?

Dell even figure out a method to install the OSD yet it doesnt work for me

Lately i kept on encountering BSOD on my M11x during gaming on Diablo 3. Maybe i should reformat my lappie...

This one bro.

Tried with your driver yet still .. not working, I checked the Alienware OSD process is running and it was enabled on startup and on running status. But then whenever I prs turn volume up/down, the windows OSD pops out instead of alienware one. I found that the only alienware OSD that working is Fn+F2 (battery) and Fn+F7 (mute button). Hence the Fn-F3 not working which mean I cant enable my bluetooth.

I googled and found that theres actually people encountering same problem as me facing right now.

Have to wait for 2013 budget. Not sure either 18" or 17", but thinking maybe GTX 680MX on M17x.

I am not crazy rich like you boss

need an opinion here

i have M15x and planning to get ssd, but as far as i know M15x only support sata II right?

should i go for sata II ssd (currently aiming at crucial M4 120gb around RM250) or just go for intel 320?

SATA2 just limit the sequential speeds..

120GB now RM 250 ?

lingloong sell around RM259 if im not mistaken

should i go for it?
