    Sending it back in for the 2nd time, yes its annoying but cant wait for it to come back. I havnt seen a hotter looking laptop then the M15x...


    I just sent my M15x back for the second time. The first time was because my stealth button didnt work and the laptop would not wake up after hibernating. They sent me the laptop back the exact same way, they didnt fix anything but they did give me an amazon $25 gift card for the ridiculous mistake they made.
    Now im sending it in to get the hinges repaired, after all these stories im now hearing on the hinges it makes me worried how long will it take for it to happen again...I also mentioned to them to fix my stealth button but I doubt they will...

    There's no doubt that the m15x is one good looking notebook :). I would also get it despite of all the problem if only I'm living in the states...

    lol. I bet they were so busy playing your games on your machine that they forgot to repair your laptop and sent it back to you unfixed. That Amazon gift card is to compensate you for allowing them to play all those hours of games on your machine. :D

    Good... then people will know it belongs to me since my fingerprints will be on it. Maybe I will custom paint a fingerprint on it just to be sure.

    I keep a microfiber cloth handy for the screen on my M17. I can't stand to have even one little smudge on it.

    One of my sons has an XPS that would drive me nuts. It's got major fingerprint smudges all over the screen. And prob some DNA too! :eek:
