yea thanks! man, longest 2 weeks of my life ever.

I'm not sure weather i should bring this laptop to school. Will people look at me weird? Lugging a 17" monster around..

 

People will look at you with envy.

 

ENVY!!!! Gratz !

 

Hehe.. most probably.

Hope to see more AW owners here in SG..

 

well i am one new aw owner =).... im from sg too =)

 

Ya thats a bit pricy i paid that same price for mine with the 920xm in it.

Grats anyway my man I hope you EDD holds up, as you can see in my sig that didnt happen....

 

congrats!
very decent price too, you could probably get it a little cheaper in US but comparing to Europe or Asia you're good

 

Hope you enjoy it man. Welcome to the forum. Hope to see more of you around here. This place is invaluable in terms of information you can find here.

 

Im not the owner of M17x but im the owner of M15x =) im from singapore as well

 

Hey! thats nice to hear How old are u? im 17

Yea i hope so too..

Oh ok, thanks

Yes and thanks. i've been lurking around the forum for quite some time now. Really great forum and community.

Sweet! another sgrean how old are u? im 17

 

lol super price... but not suprising... i bought this hp junk for $2500 from here before i left for uk... anyways , which part do u live in? Also i don't think it's a good idea to bring this to school... ppl might want to steal it... $4500 ... ... u should have got Asus G73... way cheaper and quite good too...

 

17 inches is huuuugggeeee, I rarely see anything bigger than 15 on campus.... but still a very nice lappie

 

G73 sucks.

 

LOL! Blunt and honest - I like it!

 

Dell loves to price gouge everyone but U.S citizens.

 

hi, im from sg too but i have the r1.. its gona be replaced to an r2 soon though

you got it from it fair?

you poly or jc and which?

 

I'll probably use a netbook for school or something then.

Yea, went to it fair to get it. But from Dell direct booth.
Dell retail had some instock, but it came with WLED screens.
So i ordered one with RBG

Going to republic poly, new media.

 

Another Singaporean here. I see you gave in to the IT Show deal I'm planning on getting it tomorrow, but online though, since the offer is still valid til thursday.

 

Cool man. Hope u enjoy urs

 

lol and ur M17x is a brick and waste of money lol... i just like my cheap Asus G73 which looks good , can do free OC and has great single GPU... after all i am a student too... so OP u got to republic poly? What sec school did u go? I went to St Gabriel's... we might have met before lol.

 

Sounds about right. Just don't let it get caned if it throws your disk on the ground

Seriously, enjoy it!

@Sean473: your lack of tact and respect is amazing. If you like your G73 so much that is fine, but don't bother the adults with trolling please.

 

... No comment.... and i ain't trolling... 5150Joker started it... i was being nice and mature untill he raped my favourite notebook....

 

You came into an Alienware thread stating it costs too much and for the AW owner to purchase that junk plastic overheating toy G73. We don't care for the Asus around here, if we did we'd buy one.

 

Yea, im from St Gabriel's too

Which class are u from? do i know u?

 

Yay! Its amazing to see how many Sporeans there are here. And yeah its slightly more ex here. I think its because the people in america get their coms made in china while ours are made in malaysia.

U buy at PC show arh? the wait will be abit long...

 

Haha, ya, bought from PC show. Can't wait man!

 

... 4E1 2008... SeanB...

 

Sorry.. no idea

Im Altamish anw.

 

you had one asus before , dont know why you buy that in the first if you think it was a junk

edit : for two of you guys above , HWZ or VRZ id?

 

I think you answered your own question.

 

U will have to wait le. Dell is apparently low on parts.

 

I'm here in Singapore too... same as you waiting for my order since 3 March and it's a long waiting for me
However im order from dell.com.my

sian...

Woah, buying from malaysia is cheaper

 

I have both HWZ and VRZ accounts.

Same ID

 

buying from malaysia is always cheaper. they were offering a M15x with these stats

i7 820
gtx 260m
4gb 1333
1920x1080 screen
8x dvd/dl
bla bla

for only 4.8k rm. at last year's Pikom in KL. Sad i didn't have the cash on hand. They even had a whole specialized booth area for alienware.

 

Yeah, Malaysia is always cheaper (at less for Dell), i bought my XPS1210 (dead now) from Malaysia also, saved me $200 SGD. This time alienware saved a lot.

Must be due to exchange rate and GST.

What a steal!

 

omg my connection keeps multi-posting. please delete this.

 

Oh yea, how do i track my order if i only got the order sheet number?

dell.com.sg/status - doesnt let me put my postal code as the verification :/

 

Use quotation number and customer code.

or Order number and quotation number.

or Customer code and order number.

 

Me me singaporean....

 

itzALTA, im from Singapore too and starting my first year in poly too, im wondering, you are actually planning to lug your m17x to poly and back home everyday?

 

I dont have a Quotation number or Customer code..

Nice

Still not sure. Doubt so, hahaa..

Will probably bring my netbook to school instead.

 

WHAT? Aren't there these details on the Proforma Invoice they gave u? Mine came without an order number. Or u can just call 1800-394-7486 and then press 4 then 1. Follow the voice prompts. Timing subject to office hours. They so cheapskate till they off the hotline past office hours.

 

aw come on.. you got it to turn heads so bring it to school and turn heads!

ive lugged my xps 1730 and m17x to and fro poly every single day for 2 years now..

(btw i need 1 hr in the mrt to reach SP)
