So far I'm very happy using Alienware.. eventhough i read the review that MSI perform better than the AW 17... the design however looks bulky than R4...

Yeah I hope so. And possible higher processor upgrades too. Still early days.

Actually is there very much different between the GTX770 vs GTX780? From web, the two performs almost closely to each others.

I also think the grill type looks better... the new one (AW 14 or AW17) look very bulky and thick eventhough lighter sad.gif

Hi, got a problem here with AW M14x. Recently I bought a SSD and a HDD caddy bay. I removed the optical disk, replacing it with the HDD caddy bay. Then I transfer the HDD into the caddy bay, and I install the SSD into the main HDD slot. The problem that occur is boot time is very long (>1min) and sometimes will stuck at windows boot logo.
Note: Both SSD and HDD got no chkdsk error, no disk health error

Looks like the caddy bay HDD is dragging the SSD boot time. Normally with 2 hard disks where one HDD is faster than another, it will have such delay problem.

Oh I see. I am not sure that is why I ask any BIG different from the two GPU. Thanks for clarifying. So means I will wait for the GTX780 to have optional customization at Dell MY before order the AW17.

Still need to wait for more customization features available from Dell Malaysia. Nothing much for upgrading now and more over price increased...

Only when they have the option of GTX780 for the Alienware 17 then will go for it. Now just have to hold the horse first.
