    Hi guys recently i have purchased a m14x off ebay from Canada my specs are:
    processor: 2820
    Ram: 8gb 1600
    graphic card: 550m
    HD: 256 SSD aftermarket
    I been trying to play league of legend, i am getting very stable and good FPS around 40. Now league of legend is not a high end game where a lot of power is required to play this game. however, i am feeling this immense lag with a high FPS. When i move the screen around there would be delay and even when i type the words would come out 1-2secs later. I am just wondering if you guys have any experience with this and know what is wrong?
    Also, anybody know if the warranty is transferable from Canada to United States?

    My brother plays it at a constant 60fps: vsync on. try whitelisting LOL. You shouldn't have difficulty running that game as it has low requirements. I think warranty is indeed transferable. just go to ownership transfer in dell.

    Personally with the text thing I would say that either LoL is having server lag or you're having connection issues. I don't play it so I can't say much about server lag, but from my experiences that's what I would guess.

    Also, make sure it's running on gpu? Seems simple but from what I've heard, optimus, while great for battery life, still doesn't always recognize what you want your gpu to be running.

    And warranty should definitely transfer.

    For the delay in text, that might also cause by your internet connection, as it is the server side's responsibility, if your internet connection is bad then the delay in text is because of that. For warranty transfer, yes you can transfer to whichever country you want, as long as Dell is available in that country, in short Canada to US is definitely transferable, follow this link to the Ownership Transfer Page.
