I think the price is wrong. how many headset did you order? because if it says cash redemption they will not add 239RM on your bill. its suppose to be included on the original quotation they gave you.

i didn't even order headset..
its bundled with the laptop itself..with rm239 cash redemption.
contacted Dell customer service.. and they're trying to get me a refund and cancel that order :stars
*
Cool. also check the PDF file they sent ya, that explains the 239 RM cash redemption

Mine is being built right now, was one of the lucky to avail the 5599 price of M17x ( HD7970 )

Original Quotation : 5599 RM
Without cash redemption : 5360RM
AW Headset : +239 RM
=========================
5599 RM

i believe they will not allow without headset. customer sales say its free.

Customer service say its free, only if i could have told him not to include the headset since i already have a different one. i could have saved 239 RM. but im not sure if its possible. biggrin.gif

Well i got questions here actually..
what is the difference between SSD and caching SSD(using msata maybe?)
and which is better and cheaper PLus the best brand? for the m17x?
does it void warranty if we changed the ram,hdisk?
*
When i spoke to the customer sales, he said that changing the RAM or adding another HDD on the machine will not void the warranty

It will only be voided if the RAM / Hardware part you added causes the machine to malfunction.

Correct me if im wrong guys.

BTW, im planning to add SSD on my machine and another 2GB RAM as well.. once i receive it. biggrin.gif

i'm thinking the same..
But if they put the rams near the HDD slot(theres 2 ram slot there)
you need to open the keyboard to get to another 2 RAM slot.
scared you Damage the keyboard?

and by adding SSD.. how exactly do you copy all the files in the HDD towards the new SSD?
Or just clean install new windows?
*
Yes you are correct on that. there are 2 RAM slots one is the easy way and the other one is you need to remove the keyboard.

You can check on youtube as well for tutorials. a little bit scared that i might damage the keyboard but i think ill do the easy way.. smile.gif)

with regards to adding SSD. you will have to do clean installation of windows

Hey guys, i just placed an order for alienware m14x with the discount coupon 12% and free alienware headset on this tuesday, however, the CC didnt get through so my order was canceled as i check the order status.

So i called up dell regarding my purchase that was canceled and so they said they will replace the same purchase and tomorrow might be the last day for the 12%? since its June's sales so if i could not get through the sales person in time, will they able to put my sales pending eventhough i ordered earlier so that i can still get the discounted price? Tomorrow last day of June  cry.gif

Did they give you quotation? AFAIK, they can still give you discounted price since you purchased / ordered on the day of the 12% discount coupon.. thumbup.gif

yeap single HDD.. but i don't have the tools to open my lappy..
by the way.
about the warranty..
can we replace the ram and everything else..
and still got warranty..?
*
As per dell, yes you can replace the parts and will not void the warranty. only time it will be voided if the Hardware causes the machine to have problems.

Hopefully you got your interposer on that machine.. me still waiting for dell.. for the quotation. doh.gif
