hello guys.. i just received my M14x R2 with i3720QM, KillerN, 32+750, 8GB RAM, 2GBGT650M. Ordered on 11/07/12
TS pls put my name into the list.
May I ask a few questions regarding the usage of my alienware?
I mainly use it for coding and gaming throughout the whole day and most of the time my habit is to download stuff whenever I'm asleep or out for shopping. Basically previous laptop (Asus K40IN) is turned on continuously for 2-3 days and once a while I will shutdown if feel it's on for many days.
Can I do the same for Alienware? Can it endure such long hours? Also, for my prev laptop, the battery is inside casing, need to open latch to take it out, so I lazy and never take out and use adaptor all the time. I realise this has caused my battery to weaken.
For our alienware, if use long hour, should i plug off and on to drain/cycle the battery life or can just leave it plugged all the time?

As for the battery, battery lifespan is greatly determined by the heat it is exposed to.. luckily the guys at AW placed the battery at the coolest place in the laptop... still you can do your part by placing the laptop in air-conditioned rooms, or at least cool it with a cooler pad/ fan etc. You can also disable turboboost when not in use, that'll lower CPU temps by around 10C
