*OFFICIAL* M11x Order Status Discussion Thread

It's not going to get an i3/i5/7 you guys need to stop dreaming. If they put one of those in the battery life would drop from 6-8 hours to 3-5hours. This is meant for portability. Only upgrade it will receive is when the i7 ULV processor's will come out in 6-8 months. Which won't have the performance of a regular i7 since they will also be ultra low voltage.

 

It has been stated on the other thread that a Ci5/7 ulv refresh will be avalible sometime between August and September. (this timeframe was eluded to by the same poster who first gave us the 02/02/2010 pre order date for the current model)

 

anyone else notice the bluetooth option is no longer avalible? have I missed something? is it standard or no longer an option?

 

Once the arrendale cpu comes out, would we be able to upgrade the CPU from the SU model to the new c7 ULV?

Just wondering as a general question for all laptop. If I were to buy the su4100 model now, and new ULV chips comes out, can I like, buy 1 off ebay, and swap off the 4100 with it, without blowing up my laptop?

 

You guys in the US are so lucky! The system is priced at £750 in the UK ($1200) and it will probably be more than the UK price when it comes to Ireland.

 

I assuming that you could switch to the i processors when they come out from your dual core or is that a fool's dream?

 

I did a quick search of the two processors available, and from what I gathered the c2d has vt available on it which the other one does not, also the c2d has 3 mb of l2 cache. I dont know if any one uses vt, im assuming thats Virtualization, but I bet I would If i had it.

 

Fool's dream

 

So when THEY DO come out I can't send my M11x to Dell and have then change the processor and battery if needed? I just hate how fast technology moves. It really screws you over. The IGN review was great though so no worries.

 

Sure, if you want to buy a new $600 motherboard from Dell.

Might as well sell and re-buy....

 

That's what I figured. I'll have a decent amount of cash for fun stuff around then (whenever I'd felt like taking the plunge for an upgrade or w/e) so that wouldn't be an issue. I've never owned a laptop (I've been a custom rig desktop boy) so I really appreciate the info.

 

I don't see bluetooth option either.

 

I was really interested in one, as $799 translate to about £500 - just about my budget...

Only to find my dream ruined, by the £750 basic spec price... damnit VAT and Dell EU pricing...

 

Dell's like that as we earn more in europe lol

 

The basic spec used to be 599 quid, ffffffff

 

It looks like they've included bluetooth in the standard base model now

http://www.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/alienware-m11x?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs&~ck=mn

notice it mentions optional for those items that are not include, but it mentions bluetooth.. makes me think thats one of the standard items, like battery and video card etc.

 

I was hoping for Core i3

And 8GB RAM lol

 

Wow, $1024 gets you the SU7300, 320GB 7200RPM HDD, 4GB RAM. Not too shabby. Still price is a little steep even for a 12".

 

Why Dell.be don't have any M11x model :'(

 

Yes! The base processor S4100 IS A DUAL CORE PROCESSOR that runs at the SAME 1.3GHz as the SU7300 * $100 upgrade*. However, it has a 2MB cache instead of a 3MB cache.

Bottom Line: You can get a DUAL CORE ultra-portable gaming laptop with 160GB harddrive for $799. That is a heck of a deal.

And, if you, for some reason, crave that extra MB of Cache, it will be an extra $100 for the SU7300 * (waste of money)* if you asked me.

 

Really, what's that advantage for all of that damn RAM? O.0

 

Anyone notice at the Select My Processor when you Pick the SU7300 the info to the side changes and say

Don't just keep up - get ahead.
The new 2010 Intel Core i5 processor
delivers solid performance for everyday
applications, with the ability to increase
speed as needed for demanding tasks.
Det smart performance now - upgrade today.

also under specs for the M11x before customize
Memory Options 2GB, 4GB, 8GB DDR3 - 1066MHz

Is this another one of those messups like with M17x @ 12gb 1333mhz ram?

 

Bluetooth option is now back for $20.

 

This is now designated as the Official M11x Order Status Thread.

 

I ordered it early this morning and I've got a delivery date of 3/8. Were there really THAT many people who got in just a few hours before me?

 

Has anybody from the UK ordered? I guess I'll have to wait till tomorrow for a eta on the delivery!

 

They just delivered production samples a couple of days ago, so real production won't start for a week or two.

 

its 1.7k sgd here for basic -.-

 

Ordered Feb. 3, 2010, est delivery via free 5-7 day delivery March 8, 2010.

 

Ordered Today , est delivery on 3/10/10

 

Mine has been sitting in pre-production. Nothing is moving yet.

 

You ordered one too, drake?

I thought about it, but no way am I buying an SU this late in the game....

 

I'm Work in Progress

ETA 2/24/2010

 

I think about 90% of us are at work in progress currently. Whatever that means lol.

 

Mine:

 

After several months with my All Powerful M15x , enjoying weird looks left and right and kickass frame rates in every game on the market on the highest settings, I didn't even hesitate to pick up the M15x's little brother!

My ordered specs are as follows:
- Cosmic Black Chassis
- Intel Core2 Duo SU7300 1.3GHz
- Stock Ram (4gb ordered from newegg)
- Stock HD (320gb , 7200 RPM ordered from newegg)

And EDD of 3/8/2010

See you all in the official owner's lounge

 

could have just posted in the offical owners lounge instead of a a new thread.... but congraz anyway =) enjoy ur new laptop when it gets 2 ya

 

Weird. My Estimated Delivery Date is still 3/8/10. I went back and reconfigured the same machineand it has estimated delivery date as 3/5/10. How can a later order be put ahead of an existing one with same components?

 

Amen to that....2nd gen for me...

 

That is a default estimate the system uses, the next estimate seems to me to based off the compenents you pick and some date reference in the system it figures based off the parts list.... then a *real* date emerges after the factory takes the order...

Never forget..... Dellienware /= accuracy

 

Mine was ordered yesterday. EDD is 4 APR 2010

 

Something is odd. I hope they didn't find an issue and will have to back everyone's orders up two months! I can't see how it would go from first of March to first of April. I think we'll see some dates moving around pretty soon for everyone.

Is the free shipping (or 5-7 day) delivered using DHL still? I forgot about that. I had all sorts of issues in the past with a dell machine and a couple monitors I ordered and Dell shipped through them. If that's the case then I may change my shipping to 2nd day UPS.

 

I plan on using it as a netbook. Any low powered CPU will be fine.

 

Nope no issue.
Here is the reason

Ahhh, a few more | and I see you probably meant your location. LOL. Didn't think of that. Knowing Dell they'll send it by DHL who will then send it by camel?

 

haha, yea, I just hope Al-Qaeda doesn't ambush that camel.

 

Yeah really. It'd end up being the single most powerful PC in their arsenal and end up worshiping it or something.

 

I'm finally out of pre-production. yipee.

 

Build stage for me right now!!!!!!!!

Come onnnn Boxing!!

 

Next time osama makes a vid, try to see if there's your pc in the background running MW2. LOL
