To those about to upgrade we salute you.

Why not enjoy the M11x for a few weeks before you trash it with upgrades?

It'll work just fine without upgrading, and unless we're talking extreme gaming you won't gain much anyway.

BIOS A05 for the M11xR1 SU7300 should install fine when instructions are followed.

In the past I used the Dell/Nvidia Hybrid graphics set listed in the Dell downloads section without any problems.

 

My M11 came with the correct BIOs already installed.

As for the paperwork, log onto Dell ? The Official Site | Dell, click My Account. Once you have logged in, there is paperwork there for your invoice etc.

 

Mine came with A05 and the latest official drivers--no need to update.

For vga drivers, I would wait to update until you've tried your games. So far I haven't found one that struggles. Note that you cannot use the drivers direct from nvidia unless you're willing to run exclusively in discrete graphics mode. Otherwise, the only update option is to use one of the community-made driver packages since Dell has yet to post new drivers.

 

I recall that my warranty paper came separately in my mailbox days later.

Thank you Guys seems that My BIOS is update to date XD but it's wierd the fan is kinda loud and it kinda gets heated up while copying files from my hard drive >.<"

 

Same here, got a Dell letter with all the papers

 

and i do not have a dell accoutn is that ok ? i just made an account can i still get my invoice ? warranty paper

 

ah is it wrong for mmy m11x to get heated up alot on the left side ? :S

 

No. Make sure to keep your laptop elevated as it will heat up to around 50C if you're gaming and such.

 

ah ok thanks for the tip i wasnt gaming when it heated i was installing a game and Microsoft office and moving files to much multi tasking on the first day? XD

 

And it'll get warmer still when you overclock to 166 and have throttlestop running

i've got batterybar running on mine - gives a bit of extra info, not entirely sure if it's useful or not other than being huge and visible!!
