This 17x they want about RM700 per year.

Yeah, few times already. It fluctuates about that price. RM680-690++

Not complete cover or anything, but still next business day so it's okay. I'll have to extend the warranty by mid next year.

No, complete cover is only when you buy the machine the first time. Prefer to just get Dell's warranty instead of insurance (since I'm not planning to make any weird reports). Even if you obtained insurance for your machine, you'd have to wait forever to get anything done.

Any people who using 880M powered machine can give some feedback?

You mean 880m suitable for soldered on board than can be taken out slot type? Why is that?

no, i am not in the position to give a feedback. i use 880m in m17x r4, not aw 17.

the problem with 880m in m17x r4 is not about heat. it doesn't have a chance to get heated up also. 880m has throttling issues in game. throttling doesn't happen in 780m.

imo it's better to wait for machines with 980m.

oh. i checked aw 17's gpu heatsink before. it's a triple-pipe for high-end cards like 780m. a great performance heatsink. 880m should have no issue with it, because the power draw from gpu's mxm slot should be almost the same, if not slightly higher.

Haha.. I read that 880m throttling has been fixed in a bios update for aw17 (still, it's unverified)

er.. no, if you checked the Dell Malaysia site, there are models with 880m.

Hahaha! Don't ever do that when the lift is out of service! Mampus!

Haha! Aurora r4 is a solid build.

nice

Partners mah. Surely help each others lo

Hm it's a very niche market i guess. Usually the margin will be high. (Business risks are also high)

Bigger fan and better thermal compound. What else? Erm.. Better heat sink matetial.
Not much they can do actually. Unless using liquid cooling. Haha.
