Hi,
I'll be ordering my M14x in a weeks time. Right now, I'm planning to get the HDD version, and definitely plan to upgrade to a SSD maybe 6 months later. My question is, is it worth going for the mSATA option now since I'll get a full fledged SSD later. I've read here that all three - mSATA, SSD and HDD can be used together and that mSATA is between HDD and SSD in performance. Once I upgrade to SSD, I can have the OS and program run off the SSD and keep my RAW image files in the mSATA and other files on the HDD - that what I have in mind.
Would love to hear everyones comments, suggestions.
Thanks in advance,
Lijo

thank you.
i know that normally VRAM is used for marketing on "slower" cards taht could never possibly fill the buffer. but i seen a few gameplay videos on youtube with ppl using the 1600x900 screen & using over 1gb of VRAM.
my biggest thing is i dont mind turning settings down as long as i can stay around 40-60fps @ native rez. i figured pushing less pixels on the lower rez screen for future games might give the rig a lil more useable life span vs pushing the higher rez. but if the 720 display is crap then i might have to grab the 900...
thanks again for your reply -
The mSATA 32GB option is by default configured to use Intel's Smart Response Technology (or S.R.T.) - it uses a maximum of 32GB of an SSD to act as a cache - frequently accessed files on the HDD will be automatically cached in the SSD to dramatically improve reading and writing times.
I have S.R.T. enabled and it results in start up times of approximately less than 40 seconds (from power button press to desktop) so it definitely works. However, its boost is not system wide as a regular SSD would be, and I can find lots of irresponsive menus throughout Windows in my S.R.T. configuration.
Of further note, you might want to be aware that my system shipped with a Seagate 750GB Momentus, with 16MB of cache.
It is definitely better in my opinion, and the additional usable screen space is certainly a boon to me. In fact, I feel a bit cramped in 1600x900 even, compared to 1080p. -
I just put a OCZ Vertex 4 into my wife's new Vostro 3460 and it boots in around 9 secs.. its awesome.
Bought one for the m14x as well, both of which should turn up tomorrow
Also got 16GB of ram (Corsair Vengence) for it as well - £90 (I do a lot of photoshop work) -
If you're a USA resident, you should probably buy your M-SATA drives separately, or SSDs separately.
Mine included a Samsung PM830, but it only cost $30 for the extra option. I can't actually buy mSATA SSDs anywhere in my part of the world without importing, so as with many preconfiguration things, there are regional differences. -
It seems like from DELL.COM if I make a purchase over $699 for M14x I can still get a bonus $200 voucher to spend with Dell or an xBox 360 for a limited time. Is there any chance that I get a discount from some dell agent here in this forum besides also get that $200 bonus?

How much do you guys think I can get this for before the 2%, 5% and 10% off?

Can i swap out HDD and replace it with SSD and will it lower the weight of laptop by 0.5 lbs?
-
Yes you can swap out the stock HDD for a SSD of your choice. I highly doubt it'll lower the weight by 0.5 lbs, maybe like 0.2 lbs.

Hi guys, first time poster
I'm planning to buy the M14x R2 from the US and have a friend bring it to me in India. I've got a budget of $1250 and have more or less frozen on the specifications. But need your help to iron some things out.
The specs I want are -
Processor - 3rd Generation Intel® Core i7-3610QM (6MB Cache, up to 3.3GHz w/ Turbo Boost 2.0)
Memory - 6GB Dual Channel DDR3 1600MHz
Hard Drive - 500GB 7,200 RPM SATA 3Gb/s
Video Card - 1 GB GDDR5 NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 650M with Optimus
LCD Panel - 14.0" High Def+ (900p/1600x900) with WLED backlight
The warranty will be the regular one year basic plan that comes with all laptops.
My questions is -
Since I will want to use this laptop for at least three years, should I go for a three year warranty plan? (I've heard horror stories about AW hardware giving out) And since going for an increased warranty will exceed my budget, should i drop the processor down to 3rd gen i5?
Additional info -
I want this laptop to run 2012 games at High/Ultra and I'll more than happy if i can run 2015 games at Low/Medium.
Any replies will be appreciated -
I only got a year warranty as it was all i could afford at the time but plan to extend it when its almost up. Figured i can always extend the warranty later on but i can never upgrade the cpu. My 2 cents. -
This is exactly what I plan to do. I will primarily be playing Guild Wars 2. Maybe with a little Assassin's Creed, Diablo III and the new Splinter Cell (when it comes out) thrown in.
Just out of curiosity, how much does it cost to extend the warranty before the standard one year is up?
Also, how future proof is this rig? Will it be able to play games at low/medium 2-3 years from now? -
Just checked then and an extra 1 year is $300 or extra 2 years is $400AUD. Still, considering the cost of upgrading the CPU would be... well the cost of a new laptop minus whatever i could sell mine for (with the warranty), i'm happy with he choice i made. Best case scenario would of course be getting the warranty and the i7 cpu but that simply wasn't an option for me at the time
-
Thanks, this definitely helps.
I guess that since it's going to be a while before I can save up for the M14x, I might as well aim for the 3 year extended warranty (how about advanced?) with the i7. No point paying a premium later if i can avoid it. -
No worries yeah that's a good plan - i was just too impatient to wait haha. I don't know much about the difference between the two warranties is but i think the advanced covers accidental damage? I have home and contents insurance which covers accidental damage to my alienware so i just got the default 1 year normal warranty from Dell.
Also about the future proof-ness of the machine - it's very hard to say really. As a complete guess based on what my m11x seemed to do I would say it runs most games now on ultra, then 2013 games on high, 2014 games on medium and 2015 games on low. Again, this is a massive stab in the dark so take it with a grain of salt -
In actual practice, the M14x is only really good for current games at high or medium (for the most demanding) at 1080p or 1600x900.
It could definitely blaze through something like a Source-powered game or Unreal Engine at high or ultra even, but throw CryEngine III at maximum on it and you won't be impressed by the rates.
It's a fast notebook for the size, a very fast one even, but it's simply not going to the blistering record-frame-rate machine you might expect. The GT650M is by no means a fantastically powerful GPU. -
Don't just throw money...they don't grow in trees.
BTW salanos, you are wrong about cryengine 3 ; CE3 will be really optimized so GT650m will handle it on extreme at 720p but no more higher. -
-
So unless I settle down, there's no point in investing in a desktop. I'll only end up having to carry it every time I move.
As for gaming quality, I don't really care as long as my laptop can let me game at low settings three years from now. If given the option, I'd go for a Sager/Clevo. But since I'm not living in the US, the cost of shipping comes out to be too great. Alienware on the other hand has outlets in my country and the servicing/warranty would be much easier to deal with. -

Greetings,
Looking to get a new laptop as I own an M11x R2 ( which I'm sending back in under warranty due to constant freezing )
While I love my M11x Sadly as everyone knows they've stopped production. So my next choice up is the M14x.
A little background about me, I'm a heavy MMO player so I like to have a system thats ready for any MMO I want to play. That + My first gaming laptop was a Clevo ( Sager 9880, then 9750 ) I love Clevo and think they're hardware is great, and my understanding is that Alienwares are basically redesigned chasis w/ Clevo parts underneath ( PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong as I haven't been reading up in the last few years )
Anywhoo enough of that, My biggest concern after owning the m11x is the heating/Freezing issue. Regardless of what you're doing due to either the hybrid mechanism locking up or the unit overheating or just simply freezing from doing nothing, it posses an issue. The techs @ alienware tried to get me off the phone saying wait for the m11x R4 though we all know thats not happening. So again my question is for the m14x fans, and if they're having similiar issues or if things are much better on the bigger end?
I'd love to go 18" but since I frequent school alot, and am on the field alot, the 11 was a great tool for me, but lately 720p resolution isn't that great for some MMO's and the resolution on the 14x looks enticing.
That + I do alot of multitasking ( 30-40 tabbed browsing windows )
Games
Photoshop
Maya
Usually to lazy to shut down so constantly putting it to sleep.
If I could get some feed back before pulling the trigger I'd appreciate it, sorry for the long startup, just wanted to get that out of the way, any questions please ask, and nice to meet you all.
Heres the specs of the system I configured on the alienware site
PROCESSOR 3rd Generation Intel® Core i7-3820QM (8MB Cache, up to 3.7GHz w/ Turbo Boost 2.0)
OPERATING SYSTEM Windows® 7 Ultimate, 64bit
MEMORY 16GB (2 X 8GB) Dual Channel DDR3 at 1600MHz
HARD DRIVE 750GB 7,200 RPM SATA + 32GB mSATA Caching SSD
WIRELESS CARDS Killer Wireless-N 1202 a/g/n 2x2 MIMO for Gaming & Video and Bluetooth 4.0
INTERNAL OPTICAL DRIVE Slot Load Dual Layer Blu-ray Reader (Reads BD and Writes to DVD/CD)
I chose the 750gb over the SSD due to pricing mainly if anyones curious. I do like my space. -
I love my m14x R2, I have not had any overheating issues with it at all, I even played BF3 for about 7 hours nonstop, with a break every now and then of course. The system ran smoothly. The fans do kick on and can become loud, depending on what you are doing, I have not had any issues with my fans causing my system to overheat.
On the Clevo guts inside an Alienware, I dont think that is true. You are probably thinking of the Sager/Clevo brands as they are the same, but with different branding. Sure all three brands are going to use the same type of hardware due to limited choices but i dont think Alienware has Clevo parts underneath it.
As for your configuration i would cut back on the processor as the "upgrades" in the processor section are not worth it. The i7 3610 is enough for anything you can throw at it. For ram I am running 16gb, but i did not upgrade through dell as there prices are ridiculous, i bought my 16gb Ram for $100. Now the one thing I would upgrade would be the screen up to the 900p. But if money doesnt matter to you, go crazy.
But back to your question, I use my m14x for school and i think its the perfect size, Im sure the M14x can handle all the MMO's out there, some better than others of course. The only games I play are BF3, ghost recon, and MC, so I am not too familiar how well the m14x plays MMO's, But i can say that I am extremely happy on the performance with the games i mentioned. -
I think Alienware actually still contracts Clevo for manufacture and assembly, but instead of rebranded and custom-lidded Clevo frames (as they used to be), Alienware designs the notebooks themselves now.
The M14x is probably fine with most MMOGs (I assume you mean RPGs such as WoW, etc.) which can usually require a heavy processor (but the 3610QM is usually enough for this), however be aware that the GT 650M is not purely bleeding edge. However, it's usually the AAA FPSes that push the boundaries of graphics, so you should be able to handle any MMORPG for quite a while.
On the subject of the M14x's temperature, it is famously ridiculously noisy. The single fan is often likened to a hair dryer, and my usage is similar to yours (Photoshop, 3ds max, and my desktop currently has more than a hundred tabs open).
In Cinebench R11.5 benchmarks, I've recorded absurd temperatures of greater than 90 degrees Celsius on the processor. The GT 650M fares much better at usually less than 70.
Generally however, propping the rear of the notebook up to allow the single fan intake to breathe better has been found to improve temperatures by as much as ten (in my case) while the most significant and (considered necessary) improvement comes from replacement of the factory applied thermal paste (again, as much as ten degrees, some users report even more than twenty).
My system is specced the same as yours, sans the i7-3820QM. I have a 3720QM in place.
On the 1600x900 screen, it is a dramatic improvement over 1366x768, as I have an almost identically (thickness aside) sized 14" notebook that has a 1366x768 screen, and it feels so much better to have the extra usable screen estate. I would have loved to have a 1080p 14" screen, but unfortunately they don't offer the option.
I'd like to point out to you though that if you aim for a prosumer notebook for use in Photoshop and the like, the M14x is far from my foremost recommendation, due to its poor color range and absurdly shiny screen coat. It also has a severe and obvious blue cast. You said you liked Sager notebooks, so perhaps you could look at the latest NP9150 (a Clevo P150EM - 15.6", options for GTX660M~GTX680M). Those are available with a wide-gamut (92% NTSC? Or was it Adobe RGB) LCD matte 1080p screen, which is definitely going to be much better. -
And yeah its more for games than none I'd say for the most part besides hw in class as well.
Thanks for the input, and suggestions though, as for the clevo's u mentioned, I'll check em out but I'm kinda drawn to the backlit structure of the alienware models ( as odd as that sounds for a selling points ) I just think they models look sexy in their own appeal vs just default standard look other brands give. :|

N/m just looked it up and holy crap @ that difference...be nice to see them add that option for the m14x

Aww shoulda left out what my config if I knew they were gonna meld it into 1 giant thread so I could get more questions answered lol this was more of a "how do you like your m14x / what problems do you have with it if any " vs "hey is this config ok" :|Last edited by a moderator: May 12, 2015 -
The M14x is, well, like the M11x, quite small. As it is, it can barely handle the thermals of the GT 650M without overheating its CPU. It would never be able to handle a GTX 680M, from the looks of things.
The blue cast is very noticeable, however I don't have a picture to demonstrate. But you can color calibrate it to reduce the issue, if you want to. The M14x's color gamut? A tiny 40% of Adobe RGB. Which is very little.
In case you don't know though, the Clevo P150EM/P170EM offers a multicolored backlit keyboard, but if visual impact is high on your list, Alienware is, and always will be at the foremost, due to the wide array of lighting options (the front 'eyes' are always attention grabbing). -
True on the lights but if it comes down to it I guess going back to clevo might be the better deal breaker, that or maybe check out the 17x...hmm decisions.
Love your sig btw -
Hi,
I am considering an Alienware M14x R2 as my first mobile gaming platform. I want to go with the 14'' model because I prefer its footprint and design. I don't really need as much portability as possible or even much portability in the first place, I just very much prefer laptops to desktops. Here is my configuration, it's pretty standard but I was just hoping to get some insight or feedback:
PROCESSOR 3rd Generation Intel® Core™ i7-3610QM (6MB Cache, up to 3.3GHz w/ Turbo Boost 2.0)
OPERATING SYSTEM Windows® 7 Home Premium, 64bit
MEMORY 6GB (1 X 2GB, 1 X 4GB) Dual Channel DDR3 at 1600MHz
HARD DRIVE 500GB 7,200 RPM SATA 3Gb/s
VIDEO CARD 1 GB GDDR5 NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 650M with Optimus™
LCD PANEL 14.0" High Def+ (900p/1600x900) with WLED backlight
WIRELESS CARDS Intel® Centrino® Wireless-N 2230 With Bluetooth 4.0
INTERNAL OPTICAL DRIVE Slot Load Dual Layer DVD Burner (DVD+/-RW)
SUPPORT 3 Year Essential Support
TOTAL COST: $1,473.00 (without tax). That is with the $100 off promotion going on right now, too.
I basically went with the upgrades that cannot be serviced by the user such as the jump to the entry level quad-core processor and the high definition LCD panel. I did not, however, upgrade the video card. I don't feel like it would be worth it to upgrade to a 2GB variant, although please let me know if you think it is worth the cost. I will use it as-is for a while if I do in fact make the purchase, with the intention of upgrading the RAM and HDD via aftermarket later on. I went with the basic 3-year warranty because I feel that it is a costly computer and I want to be protected, and apparently Alienware has great customer service. I just want to be covered for part failure for as long as possible, and therefore went with the basic warranty instead of the advanced one with accidental protection.
I will be using this laptop to play various games - nothing too specific. Maybe some new ones on the market now, possibly load up some old ones that I used to play.
Thanks everyone. -
I'm really curious as to why (unlike other websites ) alienware is the only company to NOT give the LCD options for gamut, everywhere else you can either go w/ default or 95% D; that blows. Thanks for the insight again <3 saved me some money, Imma take a gander @ the other models and see whats available, time for me to catch up on the latest.
-
But, usually, if an old notebook you have can't be repaired and is still under warranty coverage, Dell will replace it with a system of "equal or higher value and functionality", but obviously that doesn't mean you should go breaking your computer on the second last day of your third year of warranty.
The lighting can be a lot of fun, but if you do ask me, the AlienFX software is noticeably unrefined in a number of areas, but it covers the necessary basics and has all the options for a strobing lightshow.
-
Either way appreciate the input, you've been really helpful with this, I'll go ahead and drop my order and decide again if I wanna stay small or go back to large. I do miss the 19" that was a once in a life time back in 2006 xD
That OR if the 18x is anything close since I have a dell prefered card from when I got my m11x, which is part of the reason I'm still looking at alienware since I can just make payments while going to school without hurting my actual card by paying all at once. -
Hello,
I'm going to be purchasing an M14x for myself in the near future. I do plan to update to the 14.0" High Def+ (900p/1600x900) with WLED backlight screen. However, I'm trying to figure out if the 2 GB GDDR5 NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 650M with Optimus and 3rd Generation Intel® Core i7-3630QM are REALLY needed. Will I see a HUGE difference? I only plan to use this computer for gaming. Also, would 6GB of RAM be fine for gaming in the next two years? Do I REALLY NEED to go higher? I don't really WANT to go above 8 GB of RAM.
Overall, will the 1 GB GDDR5 NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 650M with Optimus be more reasonable? What about the 3rd Generation Intel® Core i5-3210M? I don't NEED the best; I want what's reasonable and smart for my money. However, if these updates are needed for better gaming, I'll consider.
(I plan to update in two years.)
Thank you. -
Quick question, where are you buying for?
-
I'm buying for gaming only. -
Yes to what?
Also, I'm looking for a non-bias answer.
EDIT: There was a reply from an AW rep. -
If you are going to keep it for 2 full years then I would get the i7-3610QM and the 2 gig DDR5 650m because its not like games are getting smaller. And since your gaming at 900p I would also recommend it as 2 years from now im sure certain games will take more than 1 gig Vram at 900p. Also the 6 gig ram thing is a small issue because for 20 dollars you could buy a 4 gig stick and have 8. -
Is the 1 Year Advanced Protection worth it? Im thinking about getting it.
here is what im getting

I just bought what you got for 1072 plus I got a 3720QM CPU that can OC 400 mhz. Go to Dell outlet and youll find much better deals. But in my opinion 1500 is too much for that config. 1100 is about right -
Thank you for your help. I believe I'm going with the second M14x config.
-
-
a refurb is exactly the same. There is absolutely no difference other than the packaging. I have bought many many laptops from dell both new and refurb. Trust me, they are exactly the same. -
Is there a financing option from dell outlets? Id rather pay $100 monthly installments for 15 months rather than 1200 straight up.

I am considering the purchase of the M14X R2 as listed below, I now have a Dell XPS M1730 but it is rather large to carry as I ride a bike most of the time. I will be running Linux on this laptop most likely gentoo and will also be upgrading the memory to 16GB and adding a 256GB mSATA drive.
The only real question is would I see any benifit from upgrading to the Intel® Advanced-N WiFi Link 6250 a/g/n 2x2 MIMO Technology with WiMax and Bluetooth 4.0 Thank You.

The shop said it's on promo/clearance sale.
I can see that the processor is somewhat old, compared to the website.
The same model and specs (except for processor) is priced @ 2500 Singapore dollars = 2042.4825 US dollars
this is the url http://configure.ap.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?oc=v510706sg&model_id=alienware-m14x-r2&c=sg&l=en&s=dhs&cs=sgdhs1 of the model with the same specs as above but different (newer) cpu.
I'm in singapore by the way.
so is it a good deal? -
