I'm not satisfied with the picture quality of my M14X right now. I wish to change the monitor to 14" HD+ Truelife infinity display, can or not?

thts NOT a master piece. Mine is with i7 3840QM and nvidia 680M

I saw tht on pc fair too, the proc only i73720QM. So the salesman said this is the best specs I said to him dont lie.. I got better hahaha.

im just there to mess with the AlienFX theme only.

i think he mean the best spec we got here is that spec.

im sure he didnt. he was just plainly lieing and trying to fool a cutomer hahah.

thats how they do business.

they only sell pre-customized units at pc fair, like what dell's site offer.

guys i have contacted one seller from ebay and i want to buy an alienware directly from him....do you how much will be the shipping cost from US using usps/ups/ or dhl for m17x/m18x?

also can i buy from him directly? he was asking for customs form if i need clearance in malaysia? i can buy from him directly right? I pay him thru paypal and he sends me directly to my address? no customs hassle right?

im afraid thr might be customs and u might have to pay a duty. secondly shipping costs a lot! you can estimate it from ebay itself only. N then warranty issues. I'd suggest you to get an alienware from Malaysia better! and yeah i would never trust ebay on second hand or even new notebook items heh... u cant risk so much money. I'd say dont buy it from him to be on the safe side

but before i actually got a laptop from US it had no tax? someone in msia paid on behalf of me and shipped it to me

you can ask Prince J for M17x/M18x laptops. as there is no M18x for sale on dell malaysia, it is advisable to buy from authorized resellers.

try illegear

ypu better do a lot of research before deciding
i knw abt duty as i do get things from US every once in a while. But small things. and lovely malaysian govt n new rules in short means more taxes n duty etc etc... so better beware

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

Only one that might be a problem is M18x.

Estimated date for delivery: 02/05/2013

btw guys do you use the custom alienware windows or install a fresh clean windows 7 and modify it to ur needs? I think alienware windows 7 is bloated with not required applications and plugins or patches wht not...

suggestions? I prefer a very fast n smooth windows experience with a little bling.

planning to buy a beast in the future with these specs :
Core i7 3740QM
8GB
2TB HDD (swap 1TB with SSD)
ATi HD9970M

AMD 9970M? :S Maybe it will come out after 2 years?

maybe next year. HD8970M will be released this year.

Why not Haswell or Broadwell CPU pair with that ATi HD9970M or that's a typo?

as you said, typo. i forget that there is a new architecture.

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.
