    If I were you guys I'd be expecting my laptop to arrive tomorrow, I bet every time you hear a car drive past you'll rush to the window - I know I did lol. Well I live in a small cul-de-sac so I only hear 10 - 20 cars drive past a day, if you live down a busy road then it must be horrible lmao.

    hi...im new to this forum and i just order my m15x bout 2 days ago. i can't wait!!!!!!!!! :D originally wanted 2 order the m11x since i mostly play DoTA but then needed something with more power since its gonna be my main pc. this is my first gaming pc and a huge step up from my previous pcs (currently an acer L5100- Athlon 2.70GHz,2GB RAM, ati x1250 intergrated graphics :cry: that i have been using for the past 3 years)
    btw, if it took on average bout 2 weeks to reach uk/us, how long would it take to reach japan? :confused:

    It totally depends, as far as I'm aware we have no Japanese users here so there's nobody to share their experience. I guess if you're near the city area like Tokyo/Ueno it would take around 2 - 3 weeks, however this is just speculation.

    Did Dell give you an estimated delivery date? Take that and take a couple of days off it, that should give you a rough estimate.

    I visited Tokyo once for the TGS (Tokyo Game Show), it was the most amazing time of my life. I have never been treated with so much respect and have never seen such a beautiful place. If it wasn't so expensive to travel there (cost me £1,100 and that's half price lol) then I would definitely go there again. The university I'm going to soon has a Japanese department where people come from Japan to learn about England, so I hope to make friends with some of them and perhaps travel back to Japan with them. I met some wonderful people there who I'm still in contact with :). Sorry to stray off topic, I hope you get your laptop soon. Like you I upgraded from a below-average machine (Dell Inspiron 1720), it's a wonderful upgrade :).

    I went to check and they estimated it would be delivered on 16/9/2010. well, I'm currently studying here in Japan. the people are very friendly indeed. pc gaming isnt much of a scene here...i was surprised when i went to buy my m15x, the alienware section was at the back of the shop where people can't see it :eek:
    it seems like dell is trying to get rid of the gtx260m cards. here, the one i ordered with the ati5850 is act a bit more expensive than the one with the gtx260m card. shouldnt the one with the ati cost far less? @_@

    btw ukera, did you like have to update the bios/drivers and stuff the moment yours arrived?

    well Japan are more on Handhelds, Japan's Living Upkeep Are Very Expensive right? yeah, the 260m cards are having lots of problems on M15x. most likely i think they have not been making much profits thats why they jack up the price of the Ati Cards.. lets just hope my ATI cards price remains the same for awhile till i gotten my ordered :)

    Bios was A07 (up to date), however I updated the 5850 drivers just because I wanted to make sure I had the best drivers possible.

    See know that's smart. I've done exactly the same, however, not through choice...Bonus month is this November! :D

    Since joining the NBR forums, my initial M15x build has changed multiple times and now I'm finally set on my cheaper, yet probably, more powerful 'gaming' rig. Not to mentioned I now can't wait to upgrade to cheaper, and much better components than those offered on the dell site!

    The guys here are pretty awesome I must admit. Me included! :cool:

    Force them too give you a bonus!!... I can hook you up with some Semtex if you like? (works every time, trust me)

    Yeah I too am looking at the OCZ SSDs, although I will probably pick up an Intel I think.. Let me know If you find anything at a good price before November'ish. Would be ideal to have it ready before the Laptop arrives actually.

    You say you where impatient? Lol I had a dream the other night that mine had been delivered! Although dreams are weird, the screen was only 5" and there I was convincing my family that it was 1080p... See what's happening to me! :eek:

    Semtex* is a general-purpose plastic explosive containing RDX and PETN? (google) < This? lol :D, will share with you the info about de SSDs. We're having the same thought about having the SSD before the Alien arrives.

    about the Dream: Wow!~
