Hi all~!
I just received my AW 14 today~!!!
@xandman, you r not the only one buying with 4999 without freebies

my case is totally different, at 1st i brought a xps14 highest spec.
then this machine got lots of problem even i got whole unit replacement.....
then i buat bising at the support and thy willing to change my model to alienware 14

however my xps14 market value is RM5549....
upgrade in spec but downgrade in $$ vise

sorry quote d wrong guy~
what freebies you got?

@xandman, then what you do with your 2 original ram?

so u said your previous configuration is slow, how slow was it?
now u success change the msata into storage?

OMG~
so ur ssd u replace with hdd or odd?

now i m switching from full ssd to hybird....i think i will angry

omg, so now u have xtra ram n hdd to spare?
i wonder what can we do with that

really depends on your usage, even for hardcore gaming 8gb is more than enough as long as you are not planning to play several game in one shot

save money on ssd....now i m having headache to remove my hdd or odd for ssd upgrade...haizzz....y dont dell let us customize the way we wanted to

how come i download from nvdia said it cant find d compatible hardware?

HAIZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ~!
Again bad experience with Dell.
Upon turning on my AW14 already said system fail ask to reboot......then during screen check found dead pixel~!
Anyone else gt dead pixel problem?

Upon d installation it said tat, if i use auto detect it is worse, it dont let me download at all



Yea, their after sales service is good. But i have very bad experience with their tech skill. In total of 5 times I experience their service on my same laptop within 1 month time frame and each service will cause another defect
= =''

Now i m not sure to call them or just shallow d defect T^T

GPU is working I guess as I am running in GPU mode only and the nvidia panel and computer management can detect this card......do u just download d driver using auto detect??

Besides d machine failing upon 1st time start up....now it has bunch of issue with directx.......do u guys need to do anything with the alienware resource dvd?

then do u remember your based score for window performance index?

n do u get to install all those preloaded software?

AHHH is so frustrating~!

the recovery partition is not there~!!!!

it looks like they send me an unfinish machine......
wth~!!!
called them thy will send me win8 cd to reformat myself in the price I will be losing preloaded software~!!!


what is worst is i m under epp so no replacement no refund
dont buy epp is totally not worth it
T^T

that is y i said epp is not worth it....u will lost all your premium coverage
T^T

so what is the previous boot time?
My stock/defect alienware takes 12 sec to boot up.

9 - 10s is very bad my friend, full ssd + win 8 should have 2 - 3s which i m having with my XPS 14 not to mention i loaded it with huge amount of software
