Well since iam a noob or can say a new commer in this premium laptop, I would love to ask that for a i7 CPU on a m14x would cost up to rm4999 at dell website and discounted price would be RM 4587, is it the cheapest I can get? Or need more searching? =P

M14X
Windows 8 Single Language, English (64bit)
3rd Generation Intel® Core™ i7-3630QM Processor (6MB Cache, up to 3.4GHz w/ Turbo Boost 2.0)
8GB 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM (2 x 4GB)
1TB 5400RPM Hard Drive
Slot Load 8X DVD+/-RW Drive with DVD+R double layer write capability
1 GB GDDR5 NVIDIA® GeForce®GT 650M using NVIDIA Optimus™ technology
Killer™ Wireless-N 1202 a/g/n 2x2 MIMO for Gaming & Video and Bluetooth 4.0(MY)


9% discount = RM 412
Service RM 100.
Savings 312.

some add ones guys, is the 2 GB GDDR5 NVIDIA® GeForce®GT 650M using NVIDIA Optimus™ technology work well with i5 or i7? and which work best in the long run? we are talking RM 500 differnce here =P

3rd Generation Intel® Core™ i5-3210M Processor (2.5GHz with Turbo Boost 2.0 up to 2.9GHz,3MB Cache)

OR

3rd Generation Intel® Core™ i7-3630QM Processor (6MB Cache, up to 3.4GHz w/ Turbo Boost 2.0)

?

well as far i survey, viper provide the cheapest among all i have found and here is how it goes

currently i just paid the service charge and waiting for the dell sales man to approach me for the credit card installment payment =)

But as I know warranty can be extended and due to limited resources, iam going for 1 year and will extend after that

Might consider about that thanks about the info

hi guys did u guys update your drivers at dell websites?
and yes i did and i got a Glitch on window 8 which it keeps on black screen and roll me back to the log in screen which it makes me unable to use the laptop and YES! i did call up dell and had my laptop check up trough phone and it was the software prob!

btw is this common to window 8?

waiting for dell to send the window 8 installer CD cause cant format from laptop as the prob mention above.

and i want to ask what is the best BIOS for M14x? i saw the latest is A10 or maby is because i upgrade to that version and it crash cause it work perfect before the updates zzzz

Edit! i will post some pic here if iam free

is the m14x battery prob is normal or i should call dell?

it work best when in plug but when gamming on battery some times it will last till 20% which is my charging % and the alien head will start blinking to warn me that the battery is going to die..... and i will plug in and it is normal....

and when it is not normal is where the battery just Poof! laptop dead.... cant start up and u have to plug in the cable to start up the system and if u did not do so? the laptop will not start up unless u plug in.....

so, is this normal for M14x?
or is there a way to prevent it happening again?
btw iam using BALANCED settings when on battery and when in plug in mode, iam using High Performance.

i think the best way to do is do not play game during battery phase? but come on guys this is a gamming laptop and it should work as it was.... =.=
btw
did u guys try put it in power saver mode to play? LOL

FRP sure will suffer like mad xD

yes i face that too but may i ask your sudden shutdown is during gamming or normal use? Ie. not for gamming?

when i tend to play long hours using battery, it will happen. but if i take a break in between times and use a lower settings, it will out shut down by its own ( tested today) and what Michaelbyz23 mention is



and i did some researched into this issue and u can find that this is a common thing

depends on where u play? Ie. air-cond room which is 24 Celsius VS in-door which is around 28 Celsius maby? VS out-door which is normal day light also 32 Celsius?

iam running M14x at max settings (when gamming)
air-cond room CPU 60~70 GPU 60+
in-door CPU 60~70++ (80) <-- sometimes GPU 70~75
out-door 60~80++ (90) <-- very rare but i hit this b4 GPU 75++

so, which area u at now?

not only crysis 3 other game as well such as starcract2, WOT, many many more WTF!
while i was typing, iam rolling back to 307.07 ver. as i feel its the best!
