    Hey
    I have a few issues with my M17x-R2 such as it randomly shutting shutting down.
    Now I am wondering if Dell would let me exchange my M17x for a M11x or 15x and give me the rest of the money back?
    Thanks

    Well chances are its not worth the hassle of returning it. Someone here definitely knows how to fix it

    Yeah...I really want an M11x because it's cute :) and I have other plans but I need money.

    Would they do it though?

    I don't think they would do a system to system swap like that because the M11x didn't essentially replace the M17x(like the M1730 -> M17x situations)
    You'd be losing a chunk of change, you should stick with M17x; epic>cute

    NO. Dell is not at the mercy of your own interest. :p

    Likewise as mentioned, Dell can fix it.

    well, not everyone is having this problem so get it fixed rather than swap for a different model.

    the big culprit seems to be the freefall sensor. there are threads about this...

    only way would be asking for a full refund and then purchasing the other system

    I got an issue bout my R1 (but dont wanna make new thread) so i post it here: I bought my R1 since January from Dell US. It got the well known stuttering issue, strange electrical noise happened few weeks ago...
    So is there a way for me to get a replacement? I want a R2 with RGB LED and cooler CPU etc.. but most of all, to get rid off that annoying sounds, which depends on a kindly reply to my post, is fixed only by replace the mobo T_T

    If i cant get a refund, should i put mine on ebay and purchase another R2?

    btw this is my spec: T9600, 4G DDR3 bus 1066, 260M SLI, 320G HDD, 1920x1200 LCD
