Adding what wasnt originaly instaled?

Ok im going to combine a couple of my threads into one.
When I ordered my M17x in Dec there were a few idems tha I didnt get because I didnt need them at the time or ordering of them wouldv'e delayed my lap top.

1. Can I add a lighted key board?

2. Can I add turbo memory, what is this, what does it do?

3. I dont think I have a TV tuner but the plug is there, how do I check ie where is it and if I dont have it can I add it?

I ask these questions because economy of scale would make you think that AW would build one chassis in which they could add or take away what the customer didnt want. But I have been told that I cant add the lighted keyboard. So can you guys shed some light for me, thank you.

Hello,

You may upgrade the keyboard however you will need to send the system in, I am not aware if this can be done elsewhere.
Turbo Memory reduces boot time. Faster access to boot-up files lets the system start up more quickly. Improves application responsiveness. Data coming from Intel Turbo memory instead of the hard drive increases access speed. Accelerates application loading. Fast access by the processor to information needed to launch applications cuts lag time.

Regarding the port for the tv tuner, if you did not order one then it is not installed, the port is there just if you decide to install one in the future.

Hope this answer your questions, feel free to send me a PM.

 

Oops Double Post! Sorry!

 

Alienware themselves host instructions on how to replace the keyboard:

If they'r there, it must mean your allowed to swap it out, no?

*edit* woops didnt notice that it was a m17x... but the instructions for that one are on there too
