M17. Any Regrets? Horror stories?

I stick with Corsair for RAM, excellent quality and good customer service. Other brands to consider if Corsair is not available: OCZ, Kingston, Crucial.

Intel SSDs are the fastest but also expensive.
See this thread for SSD info:

corsair just stepped in the laptop ddr3 and it is only at 1066

so i would go with OCZ. and Muskin is also a good contender.

 

I've moved away from the M17. Now I'm on to the OCZ 840. So no matte and sans alien head for me.

 

mind telling why we want more people !!!!!

 

I'm saving near a thousand(this was a mistake, read below) dollars.
I'm not paying a CA sales tax.
Shipping is only 35.
Proven better Tech and Customer Support.

I lose out on a slightly sturdier lid. Alienhead light. Matte finish (my laptop now has the same finish the 840 does, I deal with the fingerprints and scratches.)

 

man a thousand i guess taxes add up ... and CA sales tax is a bit i got free shippin whoot and as far as CS im my own consult actually NBR is i garuntee our AW section is better then your OCZ lol bring it on OCZ we are straight gangster lol

think of it this way our lid and pretty name and light cost a thousand lol....thats not a good deal but hey

 

I forgot I went with the SSD in my initial AW build. Just did a build comparison.
I'm saving $300 on the build by going with the 840, that's before taxes and shipping.
I still end up with a good savings, clearing $600. I also get 3yr. warranty.

 

lol yea AW cranks up on that ssd go to new egg ur savin on the 1920 screen and processor i weighed my options to lol good luck glad we Alienware People help not the OCZ

 

I do want to thank everyone that posted. You all helped me reach an informed decision that does not extend my financial restraints any more than I have to, as well hopefully subsiding any buyer's remorse.
