I'm not using the i5 model, but based on what I've read and also estimating based on my specs, I can say that:
- Gaming performance would be the same for most games since gaming experience (especially for FPS games) relies more on GPU; apart from certain games (RTS or games that optimizes quad core processors).. even so, the performance differences won't be large compared to the M14x with SB i7. GPU temps for the M14x is stable, average max = 75C without cooler/fan etc.

- Heat will surely be much, much lower; personally I'd recommend going for the i5 variant considering the i7 variant reaches 90-100C during gaming/load

- No problems at all with HD movies, most netbooks could handle this nowadays~

- Similarly to above, no problems at all

- You would be able to squeeze out even more battery life from the 8-cell battery with the i5 processor. My version can last for ~3.5-4hours with Wifi and dimmest brightness.. you can expect longer runtimes with the i5 variant

The different between the temperature of i5 and i7 are really big? Why like that ah?

Core i5 = Dual Core
Core i7 = Quad Core

Double power, more heat

guys dell don't sell ready made unit for alienware?
how come i see u guys order the unit and wait not straight away get the unit from the shop?

There are ready units in stores, but most of the time users would like to customize their own laptops ma
Summore can get the personalized metal name plate yo
Warranty purchase are easier when purchased online as well~

as far as i know, ready unit = refurbished or 2nd hand unit, common sense though

that is my assumption, dont blame me, can check by using service tag though

Is a laptop cooler needed for Alienware? Seeing as temperatures go so high, might consider getting a good one.

I got a Cooler Master NotePal U2 for my M14x...

This

guys later i go sunway to buy the alienware m14x anything i need to check before taking it home like
what will i get inside the box
how to know the machine is not second hand?
is evernew a good shop to buy from?

Just make sure the laptop is taken out from a sealed box

i bet most of us bought from dell online.... coz we can customised whatever spec we want... more flexibility...

And there's the nameplate

TJ... yup u r right...

However, when i bought my m11x R2... no nameplate offer by Dell MY yet..

Haha, same same.... the M14x din't have the nameplate when it was 1st launched.. I had to wait until it was available, as a result I missed a very good deal from Mr. Docter

What the. My order still "Order Received" when I checked status. 5 days already.

Again, its not a good indicator
Who knows you might get a call tomorrow saying that they're delivering the product already haha
