Alienware M15x Uk Orders

Heh, what a coincidence. I was just checking the LAN Party sponsorship on the AW website. Anyone know more about that?

 

sorry but youve both lost me now. LAN? someone please explain to me what this is (Oi! STOP LAUGHING).

 

LAN party: A big get together where lots of people take their pc's and play games against each other, usually involves a couple of servers some routers etcetc.

btw. MR DJ your pc is heating up because its running vista and it hates itself

 

thanks for the explanation BOFH1971, i feel more noligable now youve explained. so whos first to play space invaders or donky kong then?

it does'nt hate itself as much as i hate vista.

 

well you could always start by creating an m15x clan (which I cant join BOOOOO!) on steam games such as TF2 (because its such fun )
(team fortress 2 in case you didnt know )

 

seriously pissed off http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=238517

 

I feel we should get something from them for this, some upgrade, even for shipping at least. I'm genuinely going to the Caribbean to a meeting on the 30th of this month and I need this laptop badly to store and prepare my PP slides . Very, very disappointed in Alienware.

 

Is does sound like they are stalling you. MrDJ when did money go thr again ? wasnt it not aweek after mine ?

 

Jcharnley, did you get your laptop?
I stuck at phase 7 for 4 days. I don't think they need 4 days for this phase. I suppose that they are trying to delay my order as long as they can.

 

Havnt got it yet..... It shipped last night DHL tracking saying
Outbound Gateway 2008-04-08 General status. Departure

DHL said its expected for delivery tomorrow Thursday WOOT WOOT

 

money was taken out on the 10th march

 

jcharnley, mines at the same dhl status, did you ring them or something to get the tomorrow expected delivery date? that would be sweet if so! long as it arrives before 5.30 I gotta get on a plane at 8.

If u get yrs u could pick up mine, and throw it out the window on the plane, im 100% sure i will catch it.. hehe

 

Guess what ? Im STILL in Phase 6 !! Its been there for 3 days now, isnt that a bit too long for a system to be in phase 6? I really really hope that there isnt some flaw in the system that they are attempting to " Fix " (Im doing the finger quote thingy). I want the laptop to ship as soon as possible, I was hoping to get it before this weekend so that I can play with it a bit. I have an exam on Thursday so I might just fail if the laptop doesnt come 3-4 days before it.
I will call them tomorrow if I dont move up a Phase by the end of the day.

 

hi all, i have also spoken to dhl and been told that my laptop is out for delivery tomorrow, couldnt tell me am or pm, but its coming 2moro. ive booked the morning off work so hopefully it gets here then, for once, i wont mind the postman getting me out of bed!!!!!!

 

jcharnley, hehe, hope you can catch, dont think AW's bounce to well from 20000 ft

great DS! thats 3 of us with same ship dates, so hopefully all come tomorrow!

Guys im sooooooo excited, I will never get any work done tomorrow, lucky mum and daddy are my bosses hehe

 

Okay I just called up CS and some other guy picked up rather than out friend. I asked him why it was taking so long for me to get out of Phase 6. He said it was probably due to some flaw that they found while testing I asked him what would happen next and he said that they will try to fix it or swap out the component I asked him when I could expect it to ship and he said end of this week Im really concerned about this now. I hope that it isnt a major flaw and they manage to fix it and dont send me a defective unit which I would have to ship back immediately to AW If they are going to be testing and swapping components, Im concerned that the flimsy chassis will get screwed up due to the number of times they might have to open or close it. I also hope they dont delay my order because they dont have spare parts in stock.
Dammit why is my luck so bad?

 

Hey just a quick question everyone, I have my tracking number, but where the hell in www.dhl.co.uk do I have to write it to see my shipment? I'm confused...

 

^^ My situation is worse than you. I have ordered mine 6 Feb and stuck at phase 7 for 4 days.

 

Yea, I did that but it writes "No Result Found for your Query. Please Try Again."

 

Are u putting the JD infront of them number ?
I would expect the shippment number would be auto from there system, so i dont think it will be wrong, no harm in phoning up and asking

 

yeah a number similiar like, JDxxxxxxxxxxxxx17 in the track box on the left. Mines now in 'General status: sorting' Hams Hall, UK

good morning people, im sat here using my m15x, finally!!!!
well, what can i say, apart from a minor mark on the the lid, which i have actually just rubbed off, lol, well, now, nothing seems to be awry. its beautiful. its quick, everything is working, touch pad, touch controls, scrolling, the fans kicked into high gear whilst running 3dmark06 just now, in which i got a 10118, pretty impressive i think? just slotted in my smart bay battery to charge it up, then gonna try a blu-ray in there to see how good it looks. ill take some photos later on and upload them.
overall, even though its took so bloody long, this morning, im a very happy alien.

Mine's been shipped, ordered on the 24th Feb. Where do you find out what depot it's at on the DHL website, cos I type my tracking number in and I get this:

IdentCode: JDxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx....
Shipment: 8xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.......
Pickup Date: 2008-04-08
From; CO WESMEATH IE
References: 5xxxxxx
8xxxxxxxxxxxx

Track event
Date Status
Delivery Depot Information 2008-04-10 General status. Arrival

 

Great one there...
To all of the people who received it in the UK (and Europe)... if you could test to see if you still have downclocking, that would be great (playing some demanding games, ATitools, Etc...).
Good luck and well done to everyone

 

Seems a ok with me, only thing its gets really warm under the arrow keys
installing UT3 now

 

Evilwill, that means its in the UK, it might be even on the delivery van, as mine wasnt scanned at my local depot. give DHL acall

 

if you click the link on the Shipment: 8xxxxxx line, it will give more info.... Mine was still saying sorting local office when delivered (by a lady and kid in a car no less lol, no dhl van in sight).

Thanks jcharnley, I'll call them today.

How long does the m15x take to ship from Ireland to where you live in the UK on average?

 

1 to 2 days

 

Well im typing this on my m15x now.... general impressions good, but I have discovered one problem, and that seems to be a duff BD drive (it wont eject, it sticks and needs manhandling to come free - 200 point check anyone?), the rest is very nice and seems to be running ok so far, screen is great and no issues there. I'll give it the weekend to see if it frees up and see if anything else pops up (before contacting AW sigh). And yes jcharnley mine gets warm to the touch under the arrows keys too (gpu I guess hehe)....

Edit: on the blu-ray front you said you got a movie to play? cos mine refuses (region is correct) PowerDVD BD says it doesnt support the content lol! Plays DVD's fine

Edit: fixed BD playback on m15x by downloading the powerdvd patch version 7.3

hello,listen guys
I have a question for you who received m15x already:
Did you have Windows Vista Service Pack 1 include already when m15x arrived?
