    Heya welcome back Ennea :)

    Well people have received their m17s. Most are satisfied with their units. We've got some good reviews of the m17 as well.

    There are other users with m15x that have experienced the dreaded hinge breaking also. Take your time and look around the forums ;)

    I'll have a review coming in tonight! :D Candy-free - I don't even like jelly beans, more of a jelly belly fan myself.

    Initial results? I love my M17 - but I'll get into specifics later.

    Glad to have you back Ennea

    I think some of the problems can be fixed by user end. Like the touchpad, the keyboard etc. The hinge is not a problem now I think (only owned m15x for almost a week =P)

    Oh, wow. I kind of saw JellyBan coming. :x

    Thanks for the welcome, all. As for me, finals are over now so I can go back to being a PC monkey. :D Though, I've been playing a ton of BlazBlue lately...

    My m15x is still in perfect working order. No issues at all! Glad to hear that there have been less complaints about the machine. Everyone else's m15x still hanging in there?

    no, i think it's better with variety.

    anyways, my m15x is doing well so far too, Ennea. No major problems. I'm playing Fallout 3 which I just bought and it's a fun game. I'd recommend it to anybody who likes RPG first person games.

    Good to hear, all.

    Yeah, I'm 33 hours into Fallout 3 and still loving it. There's sooo much to do in that game. You can realistic beat it in 10-15 hours if you just do the main storyline but... doing everything is much more fun. :) Also, the Garden of Eden Creation Kit is out now but I wouldn't recommend messing with it until you finish the game (that's what I'm doing at least). There are also going to be 3 expansions, one of them not too far away. Overall, excellent game.

    oh.. Hi Ennea, hows life there?

    Yeah... new development (by mistake) against AlienFX. Sacred 2 uses LightFX protocol to interact with Dell & Alienware's lights. They both use same protocol... one day we might see lights in Alien Mug as well..
