*OFFICIAL* "All Powerful" M15x Owners Lounge - Part 4

Wow man, that´s expensive! I´m gonna pay $12.15 with my iphone 3g when I get back to Sweden. For that money I get unlimited surf and texting, calling almost everyone free and to the rest really really cheap

 

did anyone else have a problem logging into the site a few hours ago???

 

I did for like 30 min ago :S

 

cool thanks razz, how is everyone doing?

 

Seemed the forums were down...

So how about that M11x? I know this is the wrong thread, but personally with the new ULV processor, its just a bit too pricey for my tastes. With the i7 620UM, 4 GB RAM, 250 HDD, and bluetooth, its over $1,300 CAD. At that point I'm thinking is it really worth it?....no.

 

yeah a few more hundos and you can get an asus or low end M15x. they should really keep it below the 1k mark, $1,300 is ok if its a metal body but for plastic parts that really to high.

 

Exactly.....

 

Yep, screw Canada and our stupidly oversized country!

INdeed, I wanted one but for that price I can get villosa's M15x w/ a 160gb SSD in it

 

Just got split second, its pretty cool!
Runs very well from my external HDD.

 

Yeah i was at work. bored off my chair...and i couldn't log on to NBR! talk abotu a llonggggggggggg day. sheesh

Anyways about the m11x... it was advertized as a mini gaming rig alienware for 1k ... yeah right, like u guys said if you want a decent setup ur closer to 1.5k than 1k....

And cellphone plans in canada are horrible...but i got a corporate plan with my work so i get a slightly better deal...unlimited talk,txt, and 5gb of bandwidth a month for 90$ a month... not thattt cheap... but if it wasnt with my work.. id be payin close to double that..

 

hey everyone's got those new banners in their sigs... i want one too now! loll

EDIT: lovin' yours soccerthierry .. so im guessing you watch soccer right? worldcup just a couple days away.. so who's your team?

 

judging by the name, im guessing France?

 

whats is up right now back in canada for a few days to find an apt so the first hour of being at my hotel the cable and internet was down but i was able to find something to pass the time. gotta love this awesome rig. oh yeah my plan is expensive i split it with my dad and its 180 a month lol with data, talk and no text lol.

 

Nop, my actual name is Thierry, it has nothing to do with the Thierry Henry
Honestly Im still unsure, but I'd like to see the Netherlands win this one! I like their style!

Oh sheesh, I have to change my banner avatar, its getting a bit outdated..

 

Oh the M11x has i7 now, I didn't know that. I really wish they had put integrated GPU into the M15x, would put battery life at a good 3.5+ hours instead of 2...

 

WOW they released the i5 and i7 culv already that was quick thought it would have been at least a month or more till that happened WOW

 

M17x ordered.. and its gonna be a beast... *evil laugh* hahahhahaa

 

Just received my "shipped" email from Dell!! Tracking info is still unavailable, but my delivery date estimation went from 6/17 to 6/10, which is tomorrow??

I found this a bit surprising, considering I chose the standard 3-5 day shipping.

Anyone else with recent orders have any updates on their systems ETA?

 

Gratz man. what specs you getting?

 

Lets just say it has the exact same specs as the one 5150Joker has. And his current scores.. lets just say I would check them out here.

 

that is an evil score man congratz the M15X crew has lost another member....

 

Don't worry I'll pop by from time to time to check out whats news

 

I just noticed that I mine....lol.

 

O woops, missed that lol.

 

Anyone finding that after waking the laptop from sleep/hibernate it doesn't recognize being plugged in and brightness can't be increased? I had it in sleep mode unplugged, then plugged it in, and started the laptop, and it wouldn't recognize the laptop was plugged in. Battery still charged, but changing power plans didn't do anything, and I couldn't adjust the brightness. Fixed with a restart, but kinda annoying.

 

Sleep and hibernation seems to be really buggy. But its more of a win 7 issue.

hey 5850 owners can you test if audio is working through hdmi, purdy please with a cherry on top,lol.

 

I can confirm that. I tried the adapter, and i had to set the volume playback device to the ATI controller, and sound worked fine through the displayport.

 

Sweet thanks bro. So what driver were you using ? + rep

 

ahhhhh....my system is shipped, will be here Friday. I have extra Dell 5870s and the Clevo 5870 to test with. Will be fun.

 

Awesome can't wait to see your results. Congrats buddy.

 

Why wouldnt audio work over the display port?
And congrats Mandrake!
I'm glad to see some people are still buying the M15x to make it perform like crazy.

 

oh nice. Can you tell me which drivers you used? It seems like maybe there is something not compatible with the clevo card wirings

 

Love ya bro! +rep (if they let me, they wouldn't cuae I just repped ya, bro! Sorry!)

 

Congrats man! Now let's see what a pro can do with this beast!

By the way, Inap, love your new avatar!

 

Using the Dell drivers for now. Until I see my games running poorly I wont update. The other drivers kept giving me "display driver stopped responding" errors, so I'm keeping the dell drivers for now. My games are running fine, so not a problem.

 

Sup harry? Still busy working bro?

Thanks again battousai.

 

Hey, bro!
Yeah, still working like crazy. I'm delivering all stages of the project way ahead of schedule in the hope to finish it soon but they just keep sending me more!
Man, I'm gonna watch all games of South Africa 2010 no matter what!
The whole project is 10 days ahead of schedule because of me, so I'll definitely gonna cut down during the WC.

I gotta say, though, it's bloody great working on my M15x. Everything flies and runs smoothly, no waiting for apps or software to open. In one word, IT ROCKS! (Well,that's 2 words, but who's counting?)
Gonna grab a couple of cold ones, bro. I recommend everybody here do the same!

 

Hey, has anyone got a M15x with a HD 5730 yet? Well, I've just ordered one from Dell and wanted to know how it performs? I presumed that it will perform better than a 240m yet still staying cool right?

 

According to PassMark Software - Video Card Benchmark Charts - Video Card Model List it's performing much better than the 240m, and almost as good as a 260m :O
But these numbers are hypothetical... I don't know if someone got a working unit yet!

 

What the hell? Its showing the HD 5970 as the 4th fastest card.. behind the GTX 480 and GTX 470 AND the HD 5870... I'm not trusting those tests.

Although it shows the 5870m is almost as good as 2x4870m's?

And no CF5870's there.

 

BTW I recommend people stay away from this site if you ever see it: Atomic 3.0 (Powered by Invision Power Board) . People there are all jealous of Alienware laptops so they take every opportunity to diss it. Typical desktop tards.

 

Hey jubbing, wow! You've got one hell of a system there. How did you get the 940 by the way?

 

I'm pretty sure i know the answer but i would like to be sure...

My M15x is under warranty (4years), however, i've replaced the wifi and will soon replace the card with a 5870m.

I was kind of hoping on selling my 260m and 5300 but i don't think i'd be able to without "voiding" my warranty.

Thing is, if something were to happen in a few years and wanted to turn it in to get fixed, would i need the original parts inside?

 

I am pretty sure you need to as they would put all the blame into you or the parts you changed and void your warranty after that.

 

Well I don't know about the wireless card, but you won't void your warranty by upgrading your GPU. It is seen by Dell as a user upgradable part. The card itself, though will not fall under the warranty for obvious reasons, but the rest of the machine will.

 

Well thanks to a few members on here I learnt about the 940XM, so I ordered it straight from ebay. Buy the i520 from Dell, replace it with the 940XM (which stays very cool but still needs a Dell update for it to be fully compatible.. just minor things here and there). And Bob's your uncle.

That way I managed to get 3 years warranty over 1 for pretty much free (after sale of i520). I wouldn't have minded RAM at 1333mhz, but the i520 system doesn't allow it, so can't do anything there (1077mhz only). Joker's got the current BEST score for a laptop I believe.. and I'll have the same system.. so can't wait. ETA 29th

It'll smash my, frankly amazing M15x in scores thats for sure.

 

just out of curiousity Jubbing, how much did all of that end up costing you?

 

Well guys, Looks like I'll be leaving soon to join the 17" owners

 

your always welcomed here bro. so congrat on new lappy must be awesome.

 

Congrats on your new system, bro!
Stop by once in a while anyway, you hear?
