How do I do that? Can I change the information from their Dell website?

Besides that where can I bath my Alienware? Too many dust on on my keyboard. Or how do you guys clean it?

previous m15x owner here.

i clean it with compressed air, for dust in the between the keyboard keys. for other parts i use wet cloth and slowly wipe it. for the screen, i use screen cleaner and micro-fibre cloth then apply some polish for excellent gloss. for internal parts, disassemble the back cover, remove the fan and clean it with compressed air, that same goes with the heatsink but without removal.

Hahaha so you are the previous loyal owner.

call dell helpline during working hours. mention ur case saying that you bought the laptop from the previous owner and that you want to change the owner details and address to your name. They will ask you to give the exact information of previous owner.

you can try here first, if not then better to call them

as for cleaning i use cottons buds and cloth

counted as. after a year i own it, i had to sell it due to personal financial issue. but next year, im going to get myself an alienware m17x back.

as for screen polish, actually its not necessary to do that. just i share my ways on cleaning the laptop. so for screen polish step, you dont need to follow.

Thank you for your great information. Btw the mouse pad is very hard to clean as the dust some stick inside the small line. I have no solution to clean that off.

Hahaha now I would like to get myself a bigger desktop >.<.

Has any owner done a repasting yet? Will it void Dell's warantty?

no it doesnt void warranty, unless you damage any part. thr r a lot of repasting videos on youtube. you can DIY urself but yeah u wud want to buy the compound and cleaner urself and it isnt cheap! but then u can use it a lot of times probably repaste ur friends laptop too

Ive done it. No, It wont void the warranty.

Thanks guys.

if u know how to DO it , then u will never void the warranty XD

I HAVE TO ADMIT AND SAY THAT ALIENWARE AND DELL WARRANTY IS THE BEST YOU CAN EXPERIENCE!!! GOT A GOOD NEWS TODAY FROM THEM

64GB SSD? Mine was fitted with a 128GB one and was used exclusively as a C drive as it had another 1TB and it got clogged up just by program installations alone.
And I do not even game, just installed Windows 8, iTunes, some CD ripping software and Chrome and the normal stuff and it got clogged. Dude, 64 GB is too small man, even for a dedicated C drive.
And bear in mind that Alienware themselves have alot of drivers and peripherals too!

i bet thats a mSATA SSD. since he has extra 1TB hard drive for data files, so that is the only hard disk drive.

correct me if im wrong bro komputer.

Yes, my 17x has two HDD bays. One was installed with 1GB HDD and another a 128GB SSD as the C drive and used exclusively for installing programs.
The 128 got clogged up with the normal programs anyone would have on their computer; and also the Alienware stock software.

i think 64GB is enough. estimated usable space = 57GB. windows 8 consumes 18GB (with current updates), drivers, special software and peripherals consume about 4GB, thats enough.

Cool! 1 GB HDD!

I wanna ask sifu about my alienware value because i wanna sell it.i need some money for my wedding.

if i sell it how to transfer owner names and how much to pay for it?
thanks.

typo bro. but i can see that he mean 1TB.

maybe the value is RM3400 (since you bought it for RM4000 and the item aged for 4 months). try put the price at RM3500 and see if there is people ask for it at the garage sales.
