Laptop and the headset.... called like 2-4 times.. till someone finally gives me the answer that i needed... And it was from an online sales team. TRAINEE. He said that the cash redemption is being applied on the laptop. meaning if the laptop original price is RM5400.. with cash redemption the laptop price would be RM5161 BUT they charge you for the headset RM239. still the same actually. The thing with my issues is actually i didn't notice that the bag i bought is being charged together with the headset. So meaning the bag(229) with the headset(239).. total is 468..that was being charged sunday night.. Then i called in around Tuesday questioning why the laptop hasn't being charged at my Credit Card? connected to Sales Agent..And SHE charged me for laptop and headset(meaning extra headset).. I called in again questioning why there's extra charged(hoping there's not).. Finally someone noticed that i had extra headset =.= and now.. All my orders being processed and Trying to get a refund. FINALLY.. It'll arrive early July..which is about 10th of july(almost a month ) And dude.. you're One lucky guy.. I got it 1000RM more expensive. but with killer N wireless everything else is basic.. no money

Well maybe he thought that GTX 680M is the best.. even could beat 7970M CF? QUOTE(Emperor Qin @ Jun 22 2012, 07:36 PM) I still don't quite understand. Okay here's the issue: Can I remove that orion backpack or wat? If I dont wan that bag, can they just give me Cash Redemption? Or dis is just marketing gimmick meaning if you dont wan that bag you dont get discount at all, so the total would still be the same @ RM7859? [attachmentid=2908324] It's absolutely free. don't worry about that. trust me. But if you're using credit card.. you will get SMS notification that the LAPTOP SEEMED RM229 CHEAPER.. But later they cost you for the bag. HEY! it's still the same though. You still got the bag for free. In my Case. I got the Headset for free WHICH i Don't even need. Ohwell.. Who doesn't love free stuffs? Dude.. here's a Tip.. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Tier 4: Dell laptop series at RM 3,000 and above. Get an extra 9% coupon cash off when you purchase now. Use Coupon Number "Z0X576K3W513S?" at the checkout This only Works just for the laptop. If you wanted to addon Accessories and get it cheaper? should Pm viper88 This post has been edited by bosouman: Jun 22 2012, 08:12 PM

HOLY $$$% EL-CHEAPO!!! Let's continue with "Cash Redemption" marketing BS issue [A quick study]! Same spec as previous post, M17x @ RM7859 with FREE orion bagpack, which I say typical diversion in marketing. Actually I found out (as bosouman pointed out), you cannot even unselect/dropout the bagpack from total. It is sealed deep within that package. Conclusion is I think it's FAIR if we can accept the compulsory free gift (in this case, supposed I LIKE the bagpack) or you will be frustrated a lil bit if you don't even want the compulsory free gift (I despised the headset, might as well go for Beats). Phew. If I choose another style of checking your saved cart, here's the result: (look at the pricing calculation, same gimmick right) [attachmentid=2908391] well So far what im concerned.. the real price is in the checkout is not the final price.. they still haven't given you the cash redemption(RM229) to make you understand better.. See attachment below. On the checkout the Final Price is RM7,066.17 But when the Sales Agent Recheck my items since i do have an extra headset which they wrongly charged me for Plus i do my own calculation(with RM239 cash redemption) and has been confirmed by the Sales Agent.. The total is only RM6,827.15 If you saw anything suspicious with your buy.. Please do check with Dell Online Sales Team. They are really helpful.. It's just you need to speak verbally in English This post has been edited by bosouman: Jun 22 2012, 09:24 PM Attached thumbnail(s)

If you have the time, could you explain again how your instant Cash Redemption arrived at that amount (RM876.83)? Is TactX headset discount already included? I've understood your own calculation btw. My english is . Probably will confuse everyone in the CustDept. Oh My English!! Well that got me questioned too lol.. since the 9% is only for the laptop.. so 7326 X 0.09 = 659.34 if the cash redemption RM239 is added its suppose to be 898.34 That would abit extra.. but if the 9% discount applies to the total.. 7943 X 0.09 = 714.87 Maybe there's a bug in their system? but so far i do my calculation BASED on the pricelist by Dell Sales Agent. Well in total i got discount like RM1115.85 from dell include 9% and RM239 cash redemption so i guessed... RM1,115.85 - RM239 = RM876.85 Came to my conclusion that the RM876.83 in the picture is only the 9% discount ^^ About the English.. Well mine's too actually.. but i managed to get him understand what im saying.. thats better than nothing right? This post has been edited by bosouman: Jun 22 2012, 10:59 PM

This analysis is provided for whoever wants to deal online directly. Someone inside Dell MY/SG has mala-fide intention. Or maybe just birdbrain at work?!! Let see, this forumer actually tells the TRUTH! I AGREE with him. [attachmentid=2908633] Okay. Please bear with me with the following example. Dell coupon calculation is used as the PRIME basis for determining the real verdict in this case. (1) Noticed the M17x price = RM 7,859.00 (2) Orion Laptop Backpack cash redemption = RM 229.00 (3) Dell EPP Program Special Discount 9% coupon for Dell laptop series at RM 3,000 and above = RM 686.70 ????????????? (4) Alienware Orion Laptop Backpack = RM 229.00 ????????????? Why just why? How come Dell EPP 9% coupon produces that amount? If we reverse the calculation, the 9% coupon is actually based on the NET final price that is AFTER minus the Cash Redemption. RM 686.70 / 0.09 = REAL NET FINAL PRICE is RM 7,630.00! Thus, RM 7,859.00 - RM 229.00 = RM 7,630.00! Therefore, RM 7,630.00 * 9% = RM 686.70! So the REAL calculation should be as follows: (RM 7,859.00 - RM 229.00) - RM 686.70 = RM 6,943.30! You should only pay RM 6,943.30, Not RM 7,172.30 Because at RM 7,172.30, they actually ADD ANOTHER UNIT OF THAT FREE GIFT WHICH IS NOW IS NOT FREE (NO CASH REDEMPTION FOR IT) (Alienware Orion Laptop Backpack in this case), so you might get duped. Argue with your Dell SA. Okay bosouman, I'm going to bed now! well that is my conclusion actually.. since my price is more cheaper than the discount stated RM876.85 still.. you can always refer to a nice Online Sales Agent by the phone QUOTE(@skyhawk@ @ Jun 23 2012, 04:31 AM) hi..im interested to be part of alienware family...but juz curious, how much weight for m14x? is it easy to carry? wanna buy m17x but i heard the weight nearly 5kg... about the weight..

Casual Junior Member 393 posts Joined: Apr 2010	QUOTE(Kris187 @ Jun 23 2012, 05:37 PM) When i spoke to the customer sales, he said that changing the RAM or adding another HDD on the machine will not void the warranty It will only be voided if the RAM / Hardware part you added causes the machine to malfunction. Correct me if im wrong guys. BTW, im planning to add SSD on my machine and another 2GB RAM as well.. once i receive it. i'm thinking the same.. But if they put the rams near the HDD slot(theres 2 ram slot there) you need to open the keyboard to get to another 2 RAM slot. scared you Damage the keyboard? and by adding SSD.. how exactly do you copy all the files in the HDD towards the new SSD? Or just clean install new windows?

Casual Junior Member 393 posts Joined: Apr 2010	QUOTE(RattleSnaKe @ Jun 24 2012, 01:19 AM) I finally decided to order a M14x but my browser window hung up at the moment I clicked "confirm order" after payment details has been entered. I have never ordered anything from Dell before so I am in the dark here. Since I already clicked the "confirm" button, the transection has already partly taken place. So I got an text message from the bank telling me the 1st part , RM239 for the included TactX headset has been debited to Dell and I got the "confirmation email" that contains the shipping invoice. Unfortunately I still havent got the bank message about the rest of the payment and there is no Dell confirmation email. Hence I think I have ordered just the headset, and not the laptop. Is this because Dell hasn't calculated the price of my laptop and hence not debited the payment or is my order incomplete and the Bank hasn't received my order? This leads to another issue to me since I basically has just bought a TactX without the accomapnying M14x, can I cancel the order before the TactX is shipped or should I wait until I recive the TactX and the only return it back to get a refund. Some pointers are appreciated. when actually you do the transaction? there's no Dell IRN number??

The best you can do is PM GreaseMonkey90 and ask him to purchase from Canada (+a few more $$$ for shipping) but the nett price is cheaper than anyone can offer you. But of course, for a safer route, you always have Prince J with his illGear website. I do think it will be appear as GPU option in M17x-R4. At least that what I hope for. WHOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.. Acer? why..? and which model. QUOTE(gjoey @ Jun 27 2012, 07:09 PM) I've read that GTX680M cost about the same as 7970. Also, almost the same cost of GTX580..! So, my expectation, it would be around RM2000 to RM2300 for a single card. Need to save some money for it...
