1. Personally I feel the size is the more important factor in terms of portability, unless if you're also carrying ALOT of other stuffs in your bag as well haha
[I used to own a 2.8kg Qosmio F60, cannot tahan and sold it... now I'm happy with my >3.2kg M14x]

2. The M14x is a whole lot more powerful than the M11x yo (a whole lot more expensive as well)

The v 285.62 driver seemed to be stable for the M14x... which version are you using now?

Try not to use inf files, they don't seemed to be very stable the last time I tried, better wait for reviews 1st,..

Iirc if its international warranty (3 years), and if Malaysia does sell the same product, then yes

Not sure whether the M18x would be warranty supported over here, perhaps its better to confirm with Dell 1st before purchase~
But then, I bet the M18x is everybody's dream lappy

I've tried configuring the M18x (illegear.com) to my desired specs = a whopping RM14k yo Guess I'll never get to own one

Yes, you can bargain for freebies or discounts, remember to try different sales agent yo since different ppl offer differently~

The tracking is not accurate one bro
Delivery is almost always faster than the one shown online (to make customers happy I guess?) haha

Yup, you can always rollback your drivers

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

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~

This

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

And there's the nameplate

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

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