That is only ETA for the build and ready to ship out , not include delivery to your house on that date
Also theres a problem this time round , they place a warranty sticker on the hardrives meaning cannot upgrade to SSD by yourself unless a dell repsentive or offical reseller do it with the permission

That is pretty fail to me

I was going to buy a 960GB SSD and place inside myself.
Someone please confirm whether upgrade SSD by owner will not void warranty seal because i ask the customer support , 3 staff say the same thing

That's damn fail to me. I am using the M17x and you can see the SSD's that I am running on. I don't have it in my system yet but I will have them installed soon. So yea. People buy Alienware cause it can be upgraded. If Dell is talking thy route, they'll lose a lot of crowd.

When I bought my M17xR4, I got a 10% discount. Then while the laptop was being configured, they dropped the price by RM249, I got that amount refunded as well.

But the problem lies only after you bought it and upgrade yourself

If the ssd is configured on the dell website then there is no problem

but the lame issue is malaysia/singapore alienware does not offer good SSDs in their config page

They only offer a 64GB mSATA which is crap and overpriced.

The new alienware 14 only have new deisgn in the exterior but the the internal and screws etc are the same as r2 which you need to take off the backpanel , the battery in order to access the parts

They made the notebook made out of aluminum this time but i do not see any improvement with " HEAT VS aluminum " more like a conductor of heat

The only upgrade is they cut out 25% of the back panel and made it mesh to allow more airflow and blue led fan LOL

Tell you a best way to get discount / free gift

Talk to a customer service or sales agent

They will ask you to include their name in the " who assisted you " in the box when you checkout'

Place in their agent name and you will opted for a free tactx mouse / headset and a 250$ discount rclxm9.gif

I hope that I can add in another SSD as boot drive for my AW14 without removing the optical drive >.< but I couldn't understand the part in the owner's manual which only mentions about removal and replacement of secondary HDD. So does it means in order to add in a second drive I have to remove optical drive ? Or the slot itself is in the optical drive bay ? confused T.T

I'd be grateful for anyone who can shed further light in this ><

p/s: 64gb msata is enough for caching 750gb hdd ? O_O

according to one of the launch videos, it is stated that the AW14 is able to take in 4 HDDs. 2 SATA + 2 mSATA. So I guess it is possible to add SSD in the mSATA slot. But to be sure, I'll wait until my machine arrives so i can check. That's why i am still hesitant whether to buy an mSATA SSD or just wait first.

The AW 14 is 2 SATA + 1 mSATA. You need to remove the Optical Drive for the 2nd HDD.

As copied from the manual,
NOTE: The secondary hard-drive or solid-state drive is optional and can be installed
in the optical drive bay.
