*OFFICIAL* Alienware M11x Owners Lounge - Part 2

i requested 19th. you?

yup. so no worries for those who have doubts on the SU7300 ability to handle 720/1080p videos.

 

Before the 25th. LOL

 

I'm kind of liking this mouse. It's nice and small.

 

Coreavc is a plug in. U can get it for 10 bucks cause they have some 3 dollar off promotion right now.

 

I've got one and its pretty decent, I wouldn't use it much for FPS though since theres a slight noticeable lag...

I'm not sure, it may be the momentum from the weight of the batteries, heavy pc mice really annoy me, thats why I avoid wireless ones...but that one is still pretty good.

 

Just checking guys, no way they will let me order from Dell USA and ship to me ya? Anyone? Too busy to call Dell and be held on the line now... Thx in adv!

 

CoreAVC is a codec/plugin, mate.

haha. great!

 

Razer Orochi is amazing.
Sure, its expensive, but the quality is just superb.

Use bluetooth for everyday tasking and just plug in the USB for gaming.
While gaming, it performs better than the Deathadder (no scientific test, just the "feel").

I love small mouses, since i have a finger grip, so i use Orochi for my desktop also.

Just dont try to game with bluetooth! Thats not objective of this mouse!
It is supposed to deliver wireless experience for normal tasks and free up a usb port in bluetooth. And provide the same ubber technology from razer for gaming when you plug the usb.

 

There's a thread on how to do that on the forum http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=452304&page=1

 

The payment just got confirmed. Wheeee... Expedited!!!

 

How far up has your order been expedited? Lol. I will want to crush you if you're before the March dates.

 

Well you would cause I set a deadline of 25th Feb. XP

 

I'm happy for you but I don't get this,...you can just ask to be bumped up in line? That seems unfair.

 

I'm in a different line from most of you guys anyway (Malaysia not US of A). Plus its not 100% that you get bumped anyway, its just asking to be bumped.

EDIT: I'm just getting bumped up the DELIVERY line not the production line. If there's a shortage of parts, I won't get mine earlier at the expense of you guys who ordered earlier.

 

A rep told me that she submitted an internal request to bump my order. I was 3/8/2010 when ordering then I jumped to 3/3/2010 after 2days. So not sure if she really did bump my order or if I was just lucky.

 

I got an email from a rep saying my machine was getting sent out on the 3rd of march. Doesn't change the fact that I'm still getting it on the 8th lol.

 

k k thx! ~

 

the wait... its tearing at my insides

 

Ah I had no idea it could be a USB mouse too! Or that it was so small!

This is definitely the one I'm getting now.

 

It's up for preorder, you were looking at the old Z's LOL:

Anyways go to this thread if you want to discuss it as it seems to be a nono talking about it in here!

It is quite a bit more expensive than the m11x though.

 

Want a G500... And a backpack... Hmm... UAGH?! "Offers bluehaze a jug of milk" And yes it is a nono if you start being inflammatory.

 

The Z looks nice, would have preferred a non stealth bomber look for my laptop, but whatev's. The coupon code action was too good to pass up.

Edit: The brushed aluminum lid is dead sexy and that keyboard is pretty baller.

 

Download 3dmark 06 and run it with default settings to find out how much performance gain you will see. It is a fairly good estimation. The 11x scores 6100 for comparison.

Good Luck

 

What is up with you and the milk?

 

Maybe he's hoping you're lactose intolerant, so he's trying to use it as if it were your kryptonite?

 

Yea the price of m11x with the discounts is definitely too good to pass up.

 

As I already mentioned, you can discuss it here - just keep it civil. If that can't be done, then don't.

 

It doesn't seem possible to keep it civil, always ends up in flamewar so I won't NP's

 

He can just give me some beer then and I will go to bed.

 

i just got really sad because i also didnt know the orochi had usb plug capability. I thought that was reserved for the mamba, and now my g500 is looking a lot less awesome as a result.

 

I personally like the g500 more since it has the extra thumb button, its awesome for mmo's. I can map keys 4-0 all onto the g500. 3 thumb, 2 side scroll, middle scroll.

 

but the orochi doesn't charge while using usb, that's the bummer ...

 

Now I'm torn between the orochi and the g500... T_T Gonna see if I can get the orochi at a staff discount...

 

Uses standard AA batts rite? Wonder if there's one like the orochi that has rechargeables...

 

Congrats Nuke!!!!

 

The one I know that charge is MX Performance Mouse, but too big for a mobile mouse ....

 

dang that was pretty fast, nuke! mine was only confirmed 2 days later.

it's always possible to get your delivery expedited. you gotta speak to a customer care officer and request to expedite. normally, you will be given a case number. and like what nuke has stated, only the delivery can be expedited, not the production. any kind of part shortages will still delay your delivery.

*applies to Dell Malaysia.

 

Thanks!! Hoping to see my Awesome soon.

Hmm maybe I'll just buy a set of rechargables then.

 

Dunno, thats what my dad told me. Maybe the credit card he used cleared quickly? Or maybe he misheard I dunno lol. I'm happy nevertheless

 

Has Bad Company 2 been tested on this?

...and any word on when notebookreview's review comes out?

 

No it has not. NBR's review all depends on when Alienware sends them a test unit.

 

And the M11x won't come with Vaio's idiotic EpicFail(tm) battery auto-drain feature that forces you to store the battery outside of the unit or else it will drain when turned off. You pay extra for that "feature" with the Vaio.

 

must be the bank's speedy processing.

nope. good question since Bad Company's requirements is pretty steep (rather CPU-dependant, quad core preferred).

 

Yeah what caught my attention was the ability to switch off the battery while charging by hitting fn+F# (I can't remember which function key it is, though >_>).

And I just noticed the screen on the M11x is glossed edge to edge like the new MacBook Pros. It looks awesome.

 

Its Fn+F2 that disables charging on the battery. Or you can just remove the bottom panel and remove the battery if you don't plan to use it often.

 

Hopefully mate, hopefully.

Azn did explain something about it a few pages back regarding it being a BIOS option... But I think Dells have that option in the Quickset menu too methinks.

 

Can someone tell how how heavy is their 11x????

also what is the 3dmark2006 score in stock with SU7300 cpu overclocked.

 

I reckon BF:BC2 could struggle on the M11x. Initial reports from the demo suggest needing a quad core to get any decent GFX/frame rates. Half decent desktop PC's running dual cores are struggling apparently...

Bear in mind this is the demo I am talking about though. The RC might have better optimisation or something. Will just have to wait till the game is released I guess.

The CPU is the one thing that has turned me off the M11x, I play alot of CPU intensive games. I don't think the M11x will be able to cope, a real shame

 

4.5 pounds or 1.99 kg. Dell reckons its in the 6100 range but that might be stock and unoverclocked.

We'll have to wait and see. Remember GTA4 when it first launched on the PC "shudders" Are you really a pom?

 

just want to compare
my samsung r480 :
13.5 inch width
9.4" depth
1.2 in" to 1.5" height
The weight is 2.3kg = 5.06lb

checked dell.ca 11x is 4.5lb


so my r480 is 2.25" wider
0.21" deeper ( not much can even forget this)
the front end is 0.09" thinner while the back is 0.21" thicker
and only 0.51lb heavier..


while they are the same in price..
the R480 's 3dmark2006 is 6994 at stock setting. (core i5 2.27ghz +330m(slower gpu)

some people said the 11x get 6000 in 3dmark06
this really showed the 335 is bottlenecked pretty bad.
the 330m has 48 - unified pipline
while 335m has 72
