Can you tell me which shops that sell alienware laptops, preferably the 17? there is a dell shop at ground floor, main entrance. or, another shop at top floor. this one has a number of gaming laptops and accessories (forgot the name) |

I'm having a dilemma here...it's not surprise that alienware models require a lot of money, but with that amount i can buy cheaper laptops like the RX-17 with similar specs. It's a very tough for me to decide and that's why i need your help, guys. I'm sorry in advance if I'm asking in a wrong place.

Hey guys a quick question:-
I bought my AW 14 from lowyat in march 2014. I saw that the ship date for my machine is Feb 2014. I tried to run a check on the web site for the purposes of warranty extension from Dell only to find that some warranty starts to run from May 2014, and some from Feb 2014..... I am quite confused here. why is that? Also, the main question here is how do i extend my warranty? I tried clicking alienware laptops from the catalog but it shows me this For Adamo: Extended 2 Yr Ltd Hardware Warranty, InHome Service after Remote Diagnosis [add RM 877.00] Do i call Dell straight for the ease of things? Also, for warranty to all Alienware laptops i was told that it covers accidental damage such as drop, dents, water etc etc or rather known as the complete coverage warranty - is this true? |

I'm sorry in advance if I'm asking in a wrong place. actually, i don't really understand what your problem / dilemma is. please share. unless we can understand what caused your dilemmas, we can never give you sensible answers.if it's just about the price point, well, just go for rx-17 and be happy QUOTE(BotakPrince @ Jun 8 2014, 02:07 PM) Hey guys a quick question:- for warranty extensions, you can talk to sales agents at dell for quotes. or, you can contact putochip123 for the same. just state clearly what you want for warranty extensions.I bought my AW 14 from lowyat in march 2014.

I've placed my order for Alienware 17 in Dell website. Then I rechecked again the specs to make sure all of them is correct and i found out this thing - "Alienware 17 R1 - Ranger System Driver"...does this mean Dell sells outdated aw17 version?

I bet the new refresh years later will have all sorts of killer hardware again. M.2 ssd slots at full x4 lanes; killer 3x3 wifi; gpu with new arch; maybe ddr4 ram, 64gb etc. Yes i dream too much :/ |
