The Orion backpack has been sold out for quite some time now iinm.. very weird why they don't provide anymore

Any local stores in KL area have stock? Might as well just purchase the new Vindicator...

I have no idea man, sorry
But perhaps you can check with someone who has inside info putochip123 haha
If there's anything, he should know~

It's ok bro....

u can email Dell.
They still have the stocks for Orion.
I maybe will be getting the Orion instead of the Vindicator.
Bcoz no more Scanfast capability in Vindicator...
And Orion is cheaper...

Usage Update!

It can run Borderlands 2 smoothly with Low PhysX and Low View Distance.
But the temp increase is quite significant....
Once temp is high, performance suffers!
Palm rests are cool, keyboard is cool, rear exhaust fan is hot.
So i say the SSD upgrade helps with the temps.

End Update.

Huh, of course it can?

Borderlands 2 runs on high for me without issues. Was it a problem before the SSD?

Before the SSD i can feel the warmth.
after SSD...just cool!

Guys...
my GPU runs arnd 63-64oC while playing borderlands 2....
to me that's not too high....yet...
but afetr arnd 10-15 mins...performance drops....
is there something wrong? =(

heard that alot from other forum as well, can i know how much the fps drop?

i dunno but very significant.
it goes from silky smooth to rough rocky roads!

It seems the lag happens only for a short while.
Then it resumes as normal.
Not heat-related bcoz my temp for gpu never went above 65 and cpu never beyond 75...

so i guess i may be the RAM or some weird thing is happening...
Anyhow...
Very satisfied with the performance my this beast!

thats not good, especially in online games..

Ill do another test with a different game later...
=)

No issues with performance drops for my machine. In fact, it's pretty amazing. Only performance issues I have is with GW2.

Bcoz even my ex-Asus S56cm with a 635m has no lag issues playing Borderlands 2.
So still doing some more tests to confirm the lag issue.
Will update accordingly.

hows the fps u got with GW2? what setting can get with decent 30fps?

Hell man, it's so bad sometimes it drops to 3 fps (this is with the game detecting the settings automatically). Haven't been playing much these days these days to monitor fps.

i used my m11x with GW2, its almost unplayable (expected).. ur using the new line-up latops or previous generation?

I'm on the M17xR4
