*OFFICIAL* Alienware M11x Owners Lounge - Part 2

Ah, I kinda saw some flash of Chinese New Years come up in this thread, but it's moving faster than a NYSE scroll bar. So all the AW machines are going to be built in China then?

 

BETTER SCREEN? Cue debate. XP Yes I can't keep up with this pace either.

 

Dell has manufacturing plants in USA, China, India and Malaysia. Think servers are built in Brazil. So no not all from China.

 

OK well better than m17x R1

 

Darkhan,

Can you tell me if the SIM card feature that reviewers have been stating is true? That you can take your SIM card out of your data-enabled phone and plug it in and it will connect your M11x to the carrier's network?

 

I can tell you it has a sim card slot. How you get it to work with your carrier? I have no idea?

Sorry.

 

thats great news, thanks for quick reply

 

It's okay; I haven't been able to get a clear answer from any Dell rep yet. It looks like I'll be going off of kevin25a's experience. Still good!

Thanks for responding, Darkhan.

 

Darky should be voted best dell rep who's never had to work as a dell rep. ROFL

 

Has anyone else's estimated ship date moved? Mine just moved from 3-4-10 to 3-1-10, still shows in pre production. Is Dell having a system glitch thing, or is this real?

Shipping Method: Next Business Day
Estimated Delivery Date: 3/1/2010
Carrier: Not Shipped
Tracking Number: Not Shipped

 

Mine is still 3/4/10. You're lucky. :O

 

Thanks Nuke! That 17% discount will be in your PM's!



Just kidding.

 

My delivery date hasn't moved up. Still wondering if peoples order forms are showing their addresses and what not. Mine isn't.

 

Uh... Lol. XP. I've never had such good luck really so lol. Plus don't think I can use your discounts since I'm outside the US of A.

 

Mine just changed from 3-8-10 to 3-4-10. It been saying In production for the past 2 days.

WOW someone must love me at Dell, they changed my shipping from 5 to 7 days to next day. Thats AWESOME!

 

When I log in, mine says "N/A." I can only assume it's because... Dell... does... I don't know. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if it was Darkhan going around changing all of the shipping address to his own. I'm sure it will fix itself once it's out of pre-production.

Edit: I just called the number Eggs Scrambled gave and everything has changed. There's no options to select and it says my order status is "being processed." Very weird since the site says "In Production."

 

yes 1.73ghz makes total sense since both the SU4100 & SU7300 both use a 6.5x Multiplier with a 200mhz FSB for an Intel Factory Default 1.3 ghz.

If the AlienWare M11x Bios overclocks the FSB from 200 to 266mhz then either processor would be 6.5 x 266 = 1.729 ghz.

Those reviews with overclocked SU7300 at 1.6 ghz would mean that the overclocking setting in the bios was reducing the stock CPU multiplier from 6.5 to 6.0 which never made much sense to me.

Now I'm am very happy to hear that it will indeed be 6.5 x 266

 

What?? That's so not fair...mine still says in Progress.Ack ><

 

That's a lie! I only changed Yours to my address, I have left everyone else alone. ..............for now.

Congrats, jabij5! Welcome to the M11x club.

>:O I knew something was wrong when my card was charged another $24 for the hot pink laptop sleeve! You have odd tastes, sir.

 

Even better yet! 1.729GHz sounds wonderful. They must have Scottie at the helm!

 

Lucky dog! I'm still 3/8 with 5 to 7 day shipping.

 

Its not pink! It's Salmon!

 

I got moved up also. I used to be 3/8/2010. But then I called and complained to customer service about all my reordering and etc so she said she did an internal push to push my order to the front and gave me free next day so now it says:

Shipping Method: Next Business Day
Estimated Delivery Date: 3/4/2010

 

Actually you guys would have died to see the white M11x prototype. Best color ever!! It never got the final approval and never will

 

haha thanks man...and i just noticed something, he included a 15 month subscription for McAfee LOL ..guess ill have some uninstalling to do right out of the box ..(how much does that subscription cost anyways?)

 

I sort of wish I ordered Silver now since black is such a fingerprint/dust magnet but I doubt I can get it reordered since coupon's don't stack any more

 

More than the protection it gives. You might want to take your M11x out of its box with rubber gloves and goggles.

 

The photo of the Japanese convention or whatever looked a- MAY-zing. I would have seriously considered buying one from Japan and having it shipped to me.

 

gasp...damn it!!!!!! I can just imagine, white on the outside, black on the inside (no pun intended). Anyways, I guess they took the option away after Dell had hips of problems with the white versions of the SXPS13 and 16.

edit: I see that there are actually pictures of this floating around, can someone share the link with me? plz? lol

 

Kingston is an intel controller. Man your facts are pretty off in this thread.

 

exactly! The white has been a cosmetic nightmare for us.

But Apple seems to pull it off flawlessly?

 

You guy's should reverse engineer the white that Apple uses then

 

whatt thats sick I want Pidgin.

YOu from the bay? *off topic*

Man white would be "jizz in my pants" status.

 

About to go meet up witrh the guy to sell my MSI M-1651 imma miss then...the M11x comes to my doorsteps and I forget all about it =D

 

do you guys have any opinions on the new Crucial RealSSD c300 coming out this month? i just kinda saw it while browsing around for ssd info. don't know too much or understand too much on it, though

http://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/31..._256gb_sata_6gbps_solid_state_disk/index.html

 

With a hammer or a drill? lol Anyways, you guys should plant a mole in Apple to see how they do it

 

Just out of curiosity, what type of silver are they using for the M11x? The whitish silver or the grayish silver? The currently available pictures do it little justice.

Mr. Jabij5 i see mine is more expensive because you did not get the microsoft home and student or anything like that. Yours was cheap compared to mine :/ but i did get the free upgrade to next day delivery because of the havok i had on their website last night!

 

Metal flakes in the paint. Should look crazy in different light settings.

 

That is great news. I have never seen a decent 11-12" screen yet LOL So this will be a first for me, definitely looking forward to it now.

 

Its a gunmetal grey. I like it.

 

Thank you kindly for answering the question

 

We might have gone through this already but is the gpu or cpu removable or are they soldered in?

 

my date hasnt changed, and my order form doesnt show address, but dell chat confirmed what address is on file.

Safe to assume it's ok

 

So will fingerprints wipe off okay with the black? Is it a semi gloss? I had a black macbook and even if you wiped it down they would not go away.

 

you can not remove either. So choose your cpu wisely.

 

Guess that makes us with the Su7300 feel slightly better

 

Thanks. Yeah I picked the Su7300 but it just sucks that if the GPU goes I have to send the entire thing in.
