    Hi, I bought an Alienware M17x in Europe but the personalized nameplate is generic so it doesnt have my name on it, I would like to know if there is a way I could get one another with my name on it, I'm in the US right now.

    Thanks for helping,

    You can take it to an engraving store to get it engraved. The nameplate is attached by 4 screws so you can just take it off instead of bringing in the whole laptop.

    You can customize a new m17x on the website and hit "preview" to see how the name plate will look with your name on it, it includes the alien text. Then perhaps you can print screen and show it to the store you're going to and tell them you want it exactly like that and see if they'll be able to do it.

    just M17X + the alien translation. It's something very easy to get over once you realise how little you look at the bottom of your laptop
