    Well i bought my M14X from Amazon, so i could not choose to change the Wifi card plus a already i got a Momentus XT 500GB brand new here.


    Worth change the stock wifi card to Killer or intel 6250? i can buy it from ebay ...

    the HD came back from RMA, i used to have it on my Asus but i never felt nothing stellar from it... is there anyone with this HD on m14x? cause mine came with 750GB

    If you aren't liking the intel 1000 or if it's giving your problems, you can change it to the 6250, easy to do. Idk about the killer NIC 1102, that will be up to you. The 6250 or 6205 is way worth the 25 dollars to upgrade on your own. The killer 1102 is your call. It's somewhat better, and I've read that it has a bandwidth allocation feature in the software it comes with. Won't really see too much of a difference from the 6250 and the killer NIC if you're an average user.

    I got a 1000 from Dell and upgraded to a 6205 a week later, totally worth the $25 it has WAY better range.

    Isn't the estimated delivery date on the Amazon M14x "one to three months"? It was when I checked it last week.

    Well, I just want to know, Do you mind?

    Plus If you dont mind about the price why bought from Dell instead? And the ETA, the first email you receive it will tell you that you will get it in 1 month +, in my case it told me that the ETA will be in 6 weeks after order but in fact it took only 2 weeks!
