clueless

kinda stupid question but what does an alienware laptop come with when you buy it off dell.. reformat disk?.. case? any accessories? etc

any info would be helpful, thnks

 

OS Disk, Resource DVD (all basic progs like anti-virus, Command Center etc), Recovery DVD if you order it, no case, but a sexy AW hat as a bonus and a sticker hehe...

 

Hat, mousepad, manual, sticker, media (os and apps/drivers + whatever else you order ie MS Office etc).

No case, but it is shipped in a soft slipcover (not like a sleeve, but still nice touch).

Oh, and cool boxes

 

Are you sure about mousepad? Didn't get one....hmmm

 

since they dont sell the alienrespawn anymore, assumingly they wont have reformat disks?..

 

Yeah, both my M17x's had the mousepad.

 

Oh, I probably managed to throw it away without even looking at. Is it worthy compared to the Razer skins?

 

It was allright.

Better than the dollar store hat, for sure

 

Shsh-hhhh , still wearing it...

 

Come on now... You can't tell me that hat isn't cheap as can be?

lol

 

It proved to be extremely sturdy in all my outdoors adventures (fishing, hiking, camping ,training etc) where all the expensive ones failed miserably.

 

That hat was so tiny, my daughter could wear it - and she is 6!

lol

 

hehe, mine is huge!

 

The mouse pad is actually pretty good, its not a razer pad but was pretty awesome. The hat how ever was pretty gay, lol

 

i want a mug

Not many people here left that remember the mug

 

Yessss, I DO know the Mug review... It from the guy with the Joker avatar! It was very funny... And some how want's me to get a mug too.

 

R2 comes with the recovery disks, you dont have to order them. Its included along with windows 7 OEM and drivers disk. Recovery disks are the same as the previously known respawn disks i think.

 

hat or your daugher?

 

The mousepad, if they still ship the same one, isn't bad but not what I'd consider gaming grade. I'd highly recommend a good Razer mousemat, particularly the Goliathus.

 

Mug ! count me in.....

 

You call it a sexy hat? I had to force myself not to burn it when I unboxed my M17x (to hold resale value lol)

The mouse pad is kept in the inner side of the box's lid. I believe they forgot to pack it up for you. The mouse pad is good and has AW logo on it so it matches. That's the only accessory I used everyday and love.

Here is the important part!!! Buying a +$3,200 laptop and then being treated inequally as everybody else by not having a tiny mousepad is intolerated and buyer's likely to suffer from mental distress. You seriously need to call someone in high position of Dell to complain and ask for compensation. I suggest you to ask for direct swap R1 to R2 immediately and hopefully this time they won't forget to pack the mousepad. That's what we are about after all right?

 

What was you thinking lol? Of course he was referring to his hat.

If you were just jk then nvm

 

I'm sure he was joking...I LOL'd when I read it.

 

Evil!

ROFL,

 

Haha, as they say - "it's not the hat that makes you look good it's vice versa"

Yeah, I'll phone them today demand the R2 swap as a compensation for that mouse pad
Will keep you posted

 

if that works, you think they'd notice something was wrong when we ALL call in about our 'missing mousepads'?
