Cool. also check the PDF file they sent ya, that explains the 239 RM cash redemption

Mine is being built right now, was one of the lucky to avail the 5599 price of M17x ( HD7970 )

Original Quotation : 5599 RM
Without cash redemption : 5360RM
AW Headset : +239 RM
=========================
5599 RM

i believe they will not allow without headset. customer sales say its free.

Too obvious this is some kind of joke from him.

No way people on his right mind will say such things.

Well maybe he thought that GTX 680M is the best.. even could beat 7970M CF? whistling.gif

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..

Ok, I just use the coupon you give then KAAAAAABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM!!! HOLY $$$% EL-CHEAPO!!! shocking.gif  sweat.gif  shakehead.gif

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 happy.gif

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 whistling.gif

EXACTLY.
Just marketing jargon/gimmick.
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 rclxub.gif . Probably will confuse everyone in the CustDept. Oh My English!! laugh.gif
*
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? shocking.gif
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 shocking.gif
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? sweat.gif

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. biggrin.gif
*
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?

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??

lol I don't say I will get M18x lol. Could be just Acer tongue.gif

No, Dell MY won't bring M18x for unknown reason. 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... tongue.gif

This is where you are wrong buddy...

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.

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.

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..
