Alienware Mug, The Story So Far...

no one says "mug holder"... it's "cup holder" and always has been... but i'll edit it, just for you guys

 

I suggest getting a Clevo/Sager mug.



lawlz.

This thread is win.

 

Great review OB..

Did somebody already try to update it from F degrees to Celcius ? with a new bios version

 

not until the metric version comes out, the m33cl right now we're stuck on the m16oz

 

i still havnt had any reply on here if anyone owns the left handed version.
even CS couldnt help me. they are looking into it for me.
















doesnt really matter as im right handed anyway and wouldnt be able to use a left handed mug.

 

Will the warranty go away if I decide to give it a paintjob at a local mugstore? I'd really like a green AW mug.

 

Dear MrDJ,

Thank you for contacting Alienware Support Team.
Currently the only option we offer for the infamous m16oz mug is a right handed version. There is no forcast for a left handed version at this time.
However, to accommodate our overseas customers, we will soon be offering a metric version, the m33cl, which will be out within the next month. Please feel free to contact us when you are interested in purchasing one of these items.
Again, thank you for contacting Alienware Support.

 

Brilliant, thanks for the info

 

I have updated the information to include the latest queries (",)

Cha - Glad you enjoyed it, your information request has been processed (",)

MrDJ - I cannot blame the mug totally for delaying my order, it was after all an inocent bystander in the whole delay your order process. It is my opinion that to place the whole blame on the poor defencles mugs shoulders (should it actually have any) would be Mug'ist and therefore break the Geneva convention for ceramica related issues 1824.32 (",)

Ryujin - I have contacted my insurance company and they have agreed to guarantee the value of the mug, should anything untowards happen. I will be guaranteed the full replacement cost, which is a load off my mind. I can sleep soundly now knowing that my mug is safe (",)

MrDJ - your information request has been processed (",)

Glad you enjoyed it guys (",)

<<<<< that was ten - i think....

 

Wow, 10, thanks (",)

OB

 

mugs,mugs,mugs,mugsOBs on google.

 

Wow cheers Dj, that's cool, the first thread that appears is this one lol

I wonder if Alienware know about this...

OB

 

I wouldn't be surprised if they did.

 

i cant believe it. your mug nameplate has been removed from google.
did it break?

your on the bottom row now with a green AW head.

 

Wow, there's a picture of an actual mug on it's own there now eh?

Bummer (",)

No my mug is still going strong, still with great performance and does not need techincal support..... yet!

OB

 

For ppl in the US and other places, the term Mug here reefers to:

Chiefly British Slang. A victim or dupe.
and not:

A heavy cylindrical drinking cup usually having a handle.
The amount that such a cup can hold.

 

so at least OB's heavy cylindrical drinking cup has not broken yet.
(just doesnt sound right does it)

 

Wow, Heavy Cylindrical Drinking Cup... HCDC - Rock band or digger type device ha ha ha ha

No, it's currently going through another bench test for thermal properties analysis... lol

OB

 

are you getting by with the storage space? me personally, I'd've long since started to consider upgrading the capacity of that thing...

EDIT: maybe an external cup for more storage space? transfer speeds would probably be slower, but you'd have oodles and oodles (pardon the pun ) of storage space...

 

Well I have actually experimanted with "small liquid cooling units", when performing a cold benchmark... They performed very well but, are not suitable for notebook use as they seem to shrink and disapate some liquid as a by product...

I've been looking for the Under Side Bolt-on socket so I can add extra storage via a liquid dispensing transfer chanel.... (a straw) (",)

So far experiemts in increasing the storage seem to be suffering from a damp start...... lol

OB

 

i find this shallow and pedantic.

 

i think youll find that is a cup that is shallow.

dont be a mug, but buy a mug. a mug is for life,not just christmas.

long live OB's mug.

i think youll find that this thread is mugtastic

 

(Typical Sager fanboi): Yeh, but Alienware Mugs are overpriced, your paying for the geeky alienhead there. You can get the Sager mug, it might be 4 pounds and 5in thick, but it doesnt overheat when you pour tea in it! The OCZ Whitemug is also great, and it has backlit handle.

Can you downgrade to XP on this? I cant find the right drivers for the handle...

 

hahaha..nice one....

 

I'm still disappointed that there isn't a dual or quad core available yet. Due to the inherent limitations of the single-core mug, you are limited to rum and coke or coffee and cream. A multi-core mug would allow users to dedicate one core to each liquid, increasing the efficiency of multi-threaded drinks.

 

I support this.

 

yeah but due to the cache restrictions, you'd be limited to less space per drink...

 

I see what you did there. =P

 

But I think this is essential for future-proofing. More and more drinks are going to come out that are optimized for multi-core mugs, and they will take a huge performance hit on single-core systems.

 

I agree but what about overall storage capacity?

 

Ah, but, if you have multi-threaded drinks and you develop a leak, you'll loose your bandwith... which could cause your cache to flood... (",)

Nice one guys... ha ha ha ha

I'll do a mug-dows update, once i've carried out further testing... of course!

OB

 

at times though, a simple mug is all one needs...

 

dude, multi-threaded mugs are like totally the future. almost all the new drinks will be able to take advantage of them, resulting in a better, faster drinking experience.

 

Hmmm we need examples of drinks that can take advantage of these features to benchmark them and compare them against the competitors. After all the mug industry IS highly competitive.

 

so true. i wonder who the OEM manufacturer for the AW mug is... might be a proprietary design.

 

Ah. Proprietary. That word makes modders and computer users around the world cringe.

 

Hmm, lack of Smartbay is a concern. I mean, an extra 120gb of space would make all the difference. Does this mug support DDR3 RAM? Dance Dance Revolution that is.

 

nope. because it does't have a free-fall sensor, data loss is higly probable as soon as you start putting those moves down.

 

is there a twin gpu or quad core option

 

I think what you should be asking after reviving this old thread is;

is the mug still alive and does the owner still have the area 51 M17X?
