Yes bro.
And i got slightly cheap.
So it's worth it!
The build quality i'd say easily match the Macs...albeit not as thin...
Yup i agree. I love my win 7 more!
Thanks!

Definitely yes. search for Intel Rapid Storage Technology software in your system, you can configure from there.
are you sure ?? 

If he gets the 64GB one, its not a bad idea to turn it into storage and move your OS to the msata SSD so it become boot drive instead of ssd caching

u can try

Just put a book at the back end of the laptop if you're in a decently cooled room. There's no need for a cooler pad. Trust me, it cools pretty good with a 1 inch book or any other lift you can find.

I don't like carrying around a notebook cooler, it's another peripheral I have to stuff in the bag when 1 inch book does well for everything

In fact, I don't have to carry a book, I can pretty much use anything.

xandman I'd suggest getting yourself a SSD, anywhere from 240-512gb (you don't really need a 940g SSD right now). SSD used for games, and software. Nothing else. Keep your porno and whatever else on the 750g that you'll use a secondary storage bit.

You can go up to 3.
1 x mSATA SSD
1 x 2.5'' 9.5mm HDD/SSD
1 x 2.5'' 9.5mm HDD/SSD replacing the Optical Drive.

Separated item.

To be honest, I hardly use it. Well, used it once to install Mass Effect 3 and Max Payne 3. I recently used it to test my 32gb of RAM. No idea why I even bothered with a blu-ray drive since I mostly use my Dune for blu-ray disc.

But I will admit that it's useful when you least expect it. When you need to memtest your system, or when you need to use a boot disc, or recovery disc, that's one reason I have it.

guys...
i think i m in a bit of a shitty situation here...
any help is of coz welcomed.

I managed to change the mSATA from cache to storage.
All went well and i must say it was easy.

But after a shut down, windows wouldnt load saying BCD error thingy...
Tried Alien Respawn to no avail.

Any suggestions?

They don't provide anymore unfortunately. We have to burn/copy it ourselves 

Well, not that its very hard to create those recovery media also la haha, so I guess its still okay 

Kinda true 

But as for me, I would quickly burn myself a recovery disk (maybe two) before I remove the optical bay x)
Then prepare a backup to boot on external hard disk.
Then only I'll install my SSD.

Additional information for those who wondering about installing an SSD on the 3rd slot (by removing optical bay):

1. Can purchase part and ask technician to install with surcharge.
- But then would have your parts covered in warranty as well.

I will add in the price and other stuffs after I get my quotation from my awesome agent xD
(She had been very patient and willing to answer my questions as well as giving me freebies and discounts as much as possible).

You can save the recovery media in pendrive or HDD/SSD what 

pendrive around Rm20 only nowadays haha 
Especially useful for notebooks without optical drives~

I guess this can help out.

Haven't try that out myself so I couldn't give any comment on it XD
Will be able to try after my baby arrives.

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.
