Apparently its not good enough to handle the 36.3MP RAW files from the Nikon D800 monster laugh.gif Lagging here and there haha~

I think you might have to forego the Illegear or Surface in order to fund your ulti rig laugh.gif
As you grow older, there'll be more commitments in life haha, so aim or this while you're still young mate thumbup.gif
U can do it~

Doubt so, but as we grow up. We'll just most likely unable to keep up with the gamer life and eventually opt for integrated graphic laptops for longer battery life and compact to carry along. Just like macbook.

Yup, my point exactly laugh.gif
So do it while young haha laugh.gif
Priorities change with age XD

Still there are slim ultrabook with powerhouse graphic card. No sign of Alienware intending doing that though Razer Blade seems to push the market to get rid of OOD and provide slim and sleek looking power gaming laptop. Followed by Gigabyte P34G and Soon Lenovo Y40/50.
*
Yalo, why doesn't AW introduce an ultrabook? laugh.gif
I'm definitely going to buy one regardless of the heat! haha, bling bling on an ultrabook is awesome laugh.gif
No one seems to care about the heat anyways as with the MSI GE40, GS17 etc.

SSD will help improve Photoshop loadtime and also the speed of importing/exporting photos nod.gif
For rendering etc., RAM and CPU are more important nod.gif

Local illegear service is pretty bad , their website is still outdated on some pages

Service times take days or even weeks

If you can travel to SG easily , then aftershockpc is a good choice even you are not because the service only take up to almost 3/4 less illegear service does

Aftershockpc won the best notebook electronics consumer last year even beat best denki and other retailer stores.

So that is pretty awesome

I like AW but their hardrive configurations are old and uses old SSDs from toshiba and sandisk + the price is crazy

Because of that Normal AW 14 from the current alienware malaysia cost around 7k without any SSD only few GB for cache while aftershockpc  cost around 7.5k with 3 yr warranty parts and service

256GB x 2 in raid 0 , 750GB western digital black and IC daimond thermal paste

AW 17 cost more than 10k with good spec or GTX 780m , that price can already buy a aftershockpc/clevo with TWO GTX 880m in SLi . Run anything on max settings even crysis 3 or elder scrolls online or even total rome
I am waiting for AW to refresh their 800m GPUs and see whether the price is good then i am going to decide which to buy
*
I suppose the lineups will be refreshed soon, worth the wait!
As for the pricing, checked with bro Oscar already? brows.gif
Can get a lot less if you bargain~

ah it's s'pore clevo-based laptops smile.gif locally we have illegear.

the statement about aw is overcharged, well.. it really depends. if you're talking about the hardware alone, maybe. to me, they have good support. for a high end system like aw, I think it's more important than the hardware itself. (I have several experience with dell tech support. I'm pretty impressed to be honest)

again, custom VARs like aftershock might be able to offer the same coverage under their warranty, like dell does, with cheaper price tags.
*
Same here thumbup.gif
My M14x R1 is still working like a charm although suffering from pretty bad wear-and-tear laugh.gif Almost 3 years old already, no chance to claim my complete cover warranty! laugh.gif
Its good to have support for an expensive performance machine like AW, or any other performance notebooks. And I'm really glad that Dell offers good warranty support + offers us the chance to extend warranty even after 3 years thumbup.gif

....But the recent AW series too thick already, don't like sweat.gif

Is it? But I'm truly surprised how EASY to access things in m15x. Two screws out and you have access to the important stuff, like upgrading RAM, upgrading HDD and cleaning HSF. Best bit is cleaning graphics fan don't even require me to take the heatsink off.
*
Yeah, that was one of the best thing about the M15x haha, very easy to maintain... unlike my M14x doh.gif

Just got back my M14x (R2 now) from bro Oscar putochip123

https://www.facebook.com/pages/DellAlienwar...1751731?fref=ts

Awesome and friendly seller, who managed to upgrade my old and almost-dying M14x R1 (3 years old, super heavy use) to R2 in just one day at a price that's almost a quarter of the original price tag of a 14" Alienware- a STEAL! XD XD

I was originally expecting upgrades of the interior hardware, but bro Oscar basically changed the entire thing for me, except the base plate with my name on it LOL... dang awesome!
I'm glad I'll be able to use back my M14x ^___^ Although old and outdated, being able to get an Alienware is a dream come true for me, and I'm definitely not going to abandon my laptop that fast hehe

Again, thanks bro Oscar for the awesome service miahahaha
Highly recommended seller... I don't think anyone in the market would do this for customers (^___^)

agreed. this is exactly why i always recommend putochip123 to those who wanna get good deals. if you haven't engaged him before you have no idea what he can offer you. (just don't be a lowballer. it does you no good. to him, he has nothing to lose)

personally i have gotten some good stuff from him, with damn good price. seriously never get disappointed, every time smile.gif
*
Yealo, sometimes I think he is making a loss with each deal haha laugh.gif And many people doubted the genuineness of his notebooks (they are ori, of course) because of the low price haha
Not sure how he does his business haha~ laugh.gif

His service alone is already enough to keep me sticking to Dell/Alienware haha, even though there are plenty of interesting stuffs from other brands now tongue.gif

Well, I am feeling like a little boy now with my "new" M14x haha rclxm9.gif
