Ram too, get outside I only upgraded processor and wireless card. Everything else beli kat luar!

I install games straight to SSD.

Wish I had desk space to have 2-3 monitor setup, had to get rid of my monitors because of space issues. I move about a lot these days, so have to just depend on the 17" on the laptop.

Oh well, perhaps someday can have 3 x 30s sitting around. Haha

Always get the max protection, complete cover for 3 years for mine just in case kena lightning, or my kid spills water on the laptop or whatever. It's a life saver!

Models you can get from Dell, I'd suggest getting it locally.

Only one that might be a problem is M18x.

Installed a fresh copy of Windows 7 Ultimate, the SSD hard drive, the RAM immediately when I got the machine, but I do have a few alienware customisations left like the wallpaper, login screen, etc. I uninstalled most of the other stuff.

My next beast is August 2015 The architecture I want will be out by then. Well, mid 2016 at the latest.

If I'm not mistaken, x.8k for the machine from dell, 2k for other stuff.

Think I got a 10% discount from the total price, plus an additional discount of RM260+ a week after I ordered because they dropped the price or made some configuration change in the site. Also got the standard alienware back pack.

I followed instructions here and here

Shows how to get the login screen option back, the wallpapers, the avatars, registry settings, etc. I installed autopsy back but I guess we don't really need it much. Machine is still as fast as when I bought it

If those are the new changes, then it's disappointing. Not too sure about the keyboard, AW is known for the flash. So we'll have to see. The air filters/vents are fine but if they're trying to dumb the flash down, then might as well go for the other laptops out there. Other than the build quality, AW has flash going for it.

Plus they're already removed tons of lighting options for their newer models that were on the older models. Bah!

Local Dell loves putting in Seagate SSDs last communication.

Yes, the US primarily uses Samsung.

Not Malaysia. No way I was going to pay RM2200 for a 220/240gb SSD from Dell Malaysia.

Nothing confirmed yet, it could also just be something made by someone on the forums for fun They do a lot of mods.

But if that is real, a lot of people going to go buy Sager or something.

It's alright, but it's not breaking any records or known to be dependable like the Crucials/Samsungs.

Nice, how many do you use?

Ahh, okay. Then why buy? Good deal?

How's the 3D lcd I wonder.

Wondering how the monitors are going to be affected once Windows 8 is a standard, all going to be touch screen? Got the normal AW backpack for sale?

Indeed, W7U is good stuff.

They could improve upon the ventilation, my M17x is constantly propped up by a thick book (1.5 inches). Works great during long gaming sessions.
