So far no one reported burn-in yet. People with Samsung phones or OLED phones reported start seeing burn in in two years. Maybe this screen's tech is better?

Dell is good tho, you can extend warranty and claim if got burn in, so I guess not so much of a problem.

Some people went as far as inverting their UI color so it shows mostly black most of the time.

I'm sure that's cheaper than replacing the OLED panel.
So the guy who wanted to use his laptop for 5 years better know what is he getting into if he gets an OLED screen.

yes...but by tat time i think we can get cheaper replacement outside de... first 2 3 expensive parts becoz outside cant get scrap parts ma

yeah you're right I don't know about that importer of scrap parts
what I do know there will be a lot of 15" IPS panel out there than 13.3" OLED panel, even in 2 years time. So the best thing to do is to buy extended warranty from Dell, or from you.

hehe.. warranty come come...desparate for money now

Hi guys,

I just own a m17x R2 from Australia,

I can go into BIOS without problem, but it freeze after windows logo for loading or when on battery I plugin the power it will freeze too...

No problem occurs when I use the battery to boot up and use the laptop..

Should I change my AC adapter?

Purchased an AW 15 from myway1985 last month. DFO (Dell factory outlet) unit. Overall i'm very satisfied with the seller's service. Was in KL for a couple of days and contacted him last minute, he took time off and met me at my hotel to show me the product even before I confirmed the purchase. Friendly, honest and down to earth guy!  rclxms.gif . Spent some time chatting with him about technology and games. He was happy to just talk, and not in a hurry to seal the deal and leave  notworthy.gif .

About the product (DFO)

Unit came without the alienware retail box, manuals etc. I personally don't mind, but those who want to 'display' their boxes in their rooms may have to think twice  laugh.gif . Arrived in a brown dell box sealed, the laptop is packed with foam and the charger and installation CD is provided.

Some minor cosmetic flaws we're on this unit (No dents, just slight scratches on the plastic portion of the lid (Unnoticeable). With a DFO unit, don't expect a 100% perfect laptop because you pay for what you get  whistling.gif . For the specs I got (i7 6700hq, 1070), it's even cheaper than other brands  sweat.gif  which was a steal.
However, the unit was a pre-december 2016 unit (overheating and huge difference in core temperatures on CPU; due to uneven placement of CPU heatsink and crappy thermal paste = 99c while playing overwatch/csgo). Units after december 2016 have been rectified by Dell (better thermal paste, thinner thermal pads to ensure even pressure on CPU die). I had to open it up and replace the thermal paste, but have yet to replace the thermal pads to thinner ones to fix the uneven contact on cpu heatsink. Undervolted by 0.14v, and now CPU temperatures reach 87c while gaming.

Will be attempting to replace the thermal paste with liquid metal (Thermal grizzly conductonaut) soon, if I can get my hands on it in Malaysia  rclxub.gif  rclxub.gif  .
Link to IUnlock's thread on AW15/17 disassembly,repaste,uneven heatsink fix.

I've updated the June 2017 trackpad driver for AW13 R3 and found that the trackpad has become much smoother.

Highly recommended update if you guys haven't done so.
