the keyboard will be warm only if the laptop is under load.
my suggestion is if you can omit the design, you can buy one with better specs and higher performance than Alienware 14, the Lenovo Y500.
i dont agree with the fact because everything is considered that even the GPU is upgradeable. keep in mind that the Alienware 14 is not using MXM module, it uses soldered board.

y500 is an option... but better wait for y510p right...
either way... alienware always on my wish list since.. forever... hehehehe...

Yea it's quite, however judging from the language/grammar skill the author displayed, I'd say take extra precautions. Bad language for me is like a direct seller is selling the product with bad communication skills (as if direct selling itself was already not convincing). Maybe I'm just being paranoid, but its better to be safe than be sorry so go check out few more sources before proceeding. XD

I got the Alienware 14 shortlisted by my agent for confirmation tomorrow, the current quotation for me is 5035 for 2 years warranty and a Orion bag (Plus freebies and discounts). However I am waiting for the new quotation as I am getting two vindicator backpacks XD.  rclxm9.gif

damn good deal..

i am the only 1 here i think paid full RM4999 for no any freebies or discount sad.gif sshould have lurk in here more often... /badluckbrian.jpg

just called dell,
i am getting bitter about this 10% discount..for different customer... for a RM4999 laptop.. 10% discount is RM499..
i asked them about this and not getting a good help...
to cancel my order, i will be charged RM80 for logistic.

to me it is fine then... after canceling the order i will make a new order via telefon/email/chat like you guys... and 499-80 it is still RM419 save... better than nothing...

thinking to just forget about dell already... haihz....

edit: dell giving me excuses that they need a referral to alter my order

edit1: the customer service recomended me to cancel my order and make a new order.

edit2 update: call the customer service to cancel , they said cannot cancel because the laptop is en route for delivery today.. (suddenly today i will got my laptop) haihz...

lol... that's what happen if you have a 2yrs old in the house.... i want to post something.. then azan already... drop everything and go break fast... little that i know, my son is playing with my keyboard...


EDIT, this is what i want to say actually:

after nearly paying full price on dell webpage, then cancel my order after knowing there is better deal offline, and found out refund only going to be made in 3 weeks time, i guess i have to abandon the alien mothership. because refund is 3 weeks, and ordering is 3 more weeks if i am lucky... that's 6weeks more.. if dragged.. then it nearly take 2 freaking month... i cant take it... DELL cs is cool but it doesn't help...

so, i am going to go for something lightweight and portable...

and a shout out to @xandman for being a cool dude provide me detail of his purchase for my reference... smile.gif

ps: went to a pc store here in ipoh. they have the alienware in store... and belive me.. the AW17 is much more tempting to have...

hi all..
the alien mothership is too strong to resist... although in my previous post i abandon ship already... but... still cant resist alienware...

while still waiting for DELL to refund and revert back my credit card...

i snag an alienware M17xR4... refurb unit from a forumer... with original 1 year DELL warranty... yeah....
cheap at RM3600 but
6gb ram and gtx660 only... 500gb hdd..i7 3rd gen..
planning to get the ram upgraded, ssd and stuff...

but my question is.... any 1 got a suggestion for a huge laptop bag?

thank you

is it safe to get a refurbished alienware? since there is quite a lot of m17x r4 in garage sale and the price is quite tempting. but most of it is come with gtx660m only.

i think yes. just bought a refurb alienware... but actually it is new.. buyer cancel the order because new aw17 is out.. i got mine without any scratch, and equal to brand new and 1 year warranty from DELL it self..

^ thats got to be it...

i also heard from a dell sales rep while negotiating... is that, quite a number of m17x and m14x are canceled due to recently launch aw14&17 (because the topic of conversation is that i want to cancel my aw14 order which is to him is rare at that time)... which DELL will sold it as refurb/returned/refund.. with a huge discount...

but.. i do not work DELL smile.gif

ps: @xandman sold your 16gb vengance ram already ka?
