Problems? See this thread at archive.org.
yeah the asus is looking pretty good, thinking of getting that myself, but waiting for someone to get it first to see if any issue arises. but if 5870 works for M15x then i just upgrade cpu.
so everything lights up but doesn't work????

ahahaha lol... good stuff always got my back don't you :wink:

I tried all of that
Right now the new CC works same with the OSD. Only thing that doesn't work is AlienFusion, but like you said windows power options does the exact same thing. I Really just wanted the new AlienSense changes so that it will still work when i am gaming in the dark

i was looking at the MSI...thought we went through that already lol...but where did you get that pic from? i know imageshack but where was the link?
EDIT: I like how 5150joker pops in here at the best time though almost like he's "big brother" wtaching over all the alienware threads... and as soon as someone bashes alienware ... BAMM.. Your Nailed

Well my friend, you are in luck, as you sound like me just a couple of months ago! I too had the same questions you now have, and i'll be glad to give you my take
Simply put, if you are going to ever play games on this laptop, just get the 260M. The 260M blows the 240M out of the water if you ask me, so don't let the 20unit diffrence in the name fool you as just a "slight" increase in performance. That being said, the 260M is already been out for quite some time and is getting old, so why settle for anything less? (Although it is more than capable of ripping through the latest games). If not, and it's strictly for business related tasks and you just want the processing power and superb aesthetics of this machine, get the 240M. But since you'll be playing Call of duty and unless you are talking about the original one, again, get the 260M. GPU's cannot be uprgaded with ease, and finding a mobile gpu for sale (such as the 260M) is a feat in itself. These things are friggin RARE and Expensive if bought seperately.
Now about just buying the XPS 16 which gives you roughly the same specs for 600$ cheaper, i must ask you again, Will you be gaming? Or if your like me, and rarely have time to game but just want your lappy to handle whatever you throw at it without worrying if the specs are up to par, just get the M15x.
While the XPS 16 is no doubt an impressive machine, these are the major diffrences:
The main reason i didn't buy the XPS 16, was because of its single fan cooling system. That means, in a laptop thinner than the M15x (reduced airflow) with the same hot i7 processor running underneath the hood you'll have only one fan cooling it down. Throw in gaming to the mix and this spells disaster to me. Now you might be thinking, so what, laptops can reach 100degrees without damaging the hardware. Yea? well after owning a hp dv6t that used to reach 70degrees surfing the net, i understood how annoying overheating is. Put this thing on your lap and block that single fan, now you're running into serious problems.
Second, you don't have the GPU power in that machine to play recent games at high settings. I'm not saying it can't, as i've seen youtube vids of it playing MW2 (not sure about the settings though), but it is certainly less capable than the M15x. Also, like i said before, gaming on that laptop will burn a hole through your desk lol. I've read it reaches low to mid 80's while gaming, and that's considering your not in a hot room, and airflow and fans are all working properly. Those are temps unheard of on the M15x, as my system reached a max of 66degrees on a max stress test of both the cpu,gpu and system as a whole.
Now that being said, The XPS 16 does have some nice features, as you'll have an option for the RGB lcd screen, which the M15x doesn't have. But i must say, the 1080p LED screen the M15x has is already mindblowing and is the nicest LCD i've seen on a laptop. (personally i don't see a real noticeable diffrence with the RGB that's worth 300$).
So it all comes down to, do you want a capable laptop with impressive specs and O.K. gaming that overheats wayyy to easily for 600$ less than the M15x? Or do you want TOP OF THE LINE build quality, head-turning eathetics, and overall performance that will breeze through everything you throw at it, with NO EXCEPTIONS?
For me it was the latter, and I'm Damn Happy with my decision. Once you open up that box, you'll instantly fall in love. you'll see what i mean if you do end up getting the M15x. I LOVE MY M15x ( can you tell) and so does everyone else who owns one
( and for a good reason)
Hope this has helped you out ( hey i was due for a rant, don't you think? Inappropiatename_3 knows what i'm talking about
loll)
