You made the right choice. They are replacing my alienware with a new unit as 7 times service has been done and still the LED light problem thr. So I would be getting a new unit in 2 weeks time. Kudos to dell warranty. Not one of the best but the best laptop warranty one can experience in Malaysia. Period.
*
Yeah, I went for the 3 years warranty.. a worth while investment.. end of third year throw the laptop on the floor and request a new one tongue.gif

i think 64GB is enough. estimated usable space = 57GB. windows 8 consumes 18GB (with current updates), drivers, special software and peripherals consume about 4GB, thats enough.
*
To clarify; using it as a cache drive. games all go into the 1 TB drive. Can upgrade the SSD in the future. No point getting it at Dell's prices brows.gif

Averagely 5-7 days top. 10 if there is a hiccup along the shipping.

Mind you that website tracking is slightly outdated compared to real-time status.

Dell just updated the status to "Arrived in main hub", which I googled and think it means it arrived in MY. Hopefully I get a call tomorrow! icon_idea.gif

Order Received 3/4/2013
Work In Progress 3/4/2013
Production Complete 9/4/2013
Manufacturing Build Complete 9/4/2013
Arrived in Main Hub 11/4/2013

either upgrade your Graphics card (I read at notebookreviews forum that Dell charged usd1200 for a gc) OR wait for the new line to launch at the end of year...

congrats. you may receive your M14x in no time. and the alienware family will grow larger. rclxms.gif
