QUOTE(horns @ Feb 10 2017, 09:28 PM) i have gone back to desktop gaming. more comfortable to me haha if you're careful, no (simply put, no damage to original parts, no warranty voided). tbh as long as you're careful and patient, nothing will go wrong. also, after the second time of disassembly, i think you can remember what to do in the right sequence to do a whole disassembly. i also swapped almost everything that i could replace in my aws (took out stock parts and swapped ram, ssds, replacement hdd caddy for bdrom, wifi card, cpu heat sink, cpu, gpu, thermal paste, thermal pads; these stock parts are still like new today) when original parts (e.g. mobo, power jack, keyboard, power brick, display) had issues, dell techs came and helped me replace faulty parts only. |

QUOTE(edmund_yung @ Feb 11 2017, 08:25 PM) That's reassuring to know. I'm glad Dell is not some jackass company that won't honor factory defect under warranty because I re-pasted the heatsink. yeah; for aw (and most of their laptops usually), dell never put warranty stickers all over laptops like other brands to theirs. this business choice makes more practical sense in most cases imo, especially for users. we can fix things if we know how to; and if fixes are done properly, we don't risk losing warranty rights for the rest of parts; and we save a lot of time. |

The one on the right is a Tobii IR tracker combination. Just make sure you have that when you buy your Alienware. My AW13R3 has it.

the pic on the left doesn't have a IR tracker. If the spec sheet says it does, mean the site posted a pic without it, simple as that.

QUOTE(BotakPrince @ Mar 6 2017, 07:25 AM) Owners of Alienware 17... need some advice. from my understanding, models with Tobii IR have the sensors located at the bottom of the display, in a glossy enclosure.Why is it I notice there are two different types of web camera for 2 same Alienware 17? Pics attached for reference Both are Alienware 17.. when in use, they should emit infrared light when viewed with digital cameras. otherwise, it's a matter of design change and if not, you were....scammed?
