Thanks! Will look into that!

How long do you carry your bag? My bag is super huge too and stuffed with alot of stuff. Just wondering how long you carry yours.

Might be joining the new mothership with an AW17. Yeahhhhhbuddy!!

Alienware AW17. Confirmed. *Ka-ching*

I have to revert back to my Tech department but I'll have them up as soon as I know.

I am selling mine! (;

Just an interest check but does anyone want a GTX770m if its brand new and sold for about Rm1000?

But i will be replacing:

1) The RAM's to 32GB 1866MHz
2) The Graphics card to my GTX780M
3) The HDD - Will install a 512GB SSD as C drive, 960 x2 GB SSD in raid 0 in the SATA port and the 2nd HDD bay. and finally the 750GB 7200RPM in the optical bay.

So the 16GB RAM, GTX770m, and the 64GB mSATA will all be up for sale.

Yeapp. Upgrade myself. My tech department gets everything from me so I don't really know where they're from.

I actually currently own a M17xR3 with nVidia 3D Vision2 and M17xR3 with nVidia 3D vision. But I have never ever used it. I got the 3D screen because its the only screen with the 400nits displays. (the brightest)

The gloss is kinda bad. especially when I am listening to music and the screen goes off, the glass look like a mirror. If I could get the 400 nit display with anti glare, I would have gone that route.

Whats Vsync?

And anyone have an idea if the old M17x chargers work with the AW17?

But is the monitor always at 120Hz or only in 3D?

Does anyone know if the old M17 charger works with the AW17?

You have both? I remember someone here has both...

Yes, the GTX7xx cards can be installed into the M17X R4. I initially was supposed to do that, but turns out that I got the go ahead for the AW17 and install my GTX780 inside there. I even have the vBIOS for the installation of the GTX7XX series into the M17x. If you go on forums like tomshardware and techinferno, you can see in their signatures that they're running 780's on the M17x's.

And if anyone could answer my questions on these two issues it would be great:

Could I order another Vindicator bag on the phone in Malaysia?
Can the M17x chargers be used with the AW17?

*The Picture reads from bottom to top.


The non 3D is only if you use it with the laptops that are designed for GTX6xx. And it's not that their graphics card does not support but rather that their vBIOS so far does not allow it. More of the software than the hardware. And the graphics card can be used in 3D laptops just that the 3D function will not be able to be used if used on the M17x models. So yes, if you're planning to use 3D, don't buy their cards for the moment because they have not fixed the software issue for it to be used with its 3D function. And I know this because I have emailed them.

But anyway, the GTX770 is not from them but from Dell directly. So no worries there.

Thanks. Because I have only seen the bags up on the US website. But I called them this morning and just bought the Vindicator Slim Carrying Case.

And much appreciated if anyone can confirm of the chargers of the M17x series and the new AW series are the same. Thanks! and Selamat Hari Raya!
