**Official Alienware M11x Owner's Lounge**

Bluetooth optional for $20, if anyone was curious.

EDIT: And only color options seem to be black and lunar silver. Though I do like the silver.

 

Does anyone know if the wireless card is an n card?

 

I was kinda hoping they would throw in a TV tuner card option but I guess not.

 

Where is the pre-order page on Dell's website? I am trying to use my student discount.

 

PRE ORDERED!!!

I went with silver, su7300, 4gb of ram and 250gb 7200rpm drive......oh and bluetooth.



but 1 month wait time?!?! come on...

 

Not going to work most likely since it is a new product that just came out.

 

Omg andrewe1 I hate you right now ><

 

UK Update - just spoke with somebody at Dell UK and all they could/would tell me is they have not received any update from there marketing teams.

We in the uk must note its 6hours behind the states so they are still at work while its 10pm here.

 

Waiting for the EPP page update.. If anyone is interested, they are offering a $50 coupon if you signup on the EPP page for their newsletter. It is the first link there on the EPP website.

 

Holy smokes!

 

Is there a different in power consumption between the SU4100 and the SU7300? I'm more concerned about battery life than a single extra MB of L2 cache.

 

@ andrewe1
How did you get 6gb of ram? I only saw 2, 4 and 8 as options...

 

Sorry I made a mistake... I meant 4

 

I wonder how easy this will be to upgrade memory, and hdd.

also does anyone know if the Gobi™ Mobile Broadband with GPS - supports Verizon requires a monthy charge?

 

I'm STILL refreshing...

 

How did you navigate to that page? I don't see any customize link from anywhere

 

More than likely... but not really sure... You could call Dell and ask.

 

lol your gonna have a twich for weeks after!

 

I'd like to think it's worth it!It goddamn better be at least. XD

 

Damn they are charging a lot of money for that ssd, why can't they offer a 128 one i wonder, but with dell epp its worth it! Finally a decent priced alienware and also damn this thing is cheap!

 

Yeah I'm curious as to how he found it too....maybe he made it just to steal CC numbers

But yeah, so much for subscribing to all sorts of alerts to be the "first one to know"

 

Yes most likely requires a 60$ a month fee for unlimited 3g internet.

 

Just got off the phone with alienware (same city as I am, Austin) The man on the phone told me it did not launch until tomorrow, could not find the order page for it, just like I can not find the order page, only by going through the link provided can I get to the order page.

 

$100 USD to get the damn core 2 duo!! W -T -F!!? LMAO!!!!. But its ok Ill order mine soon .

 

well I hope I do not need to re order or something... would be annoying

 

The link is from gizmodo
http://gizmodo.com/5461696/alienware-m11x-available-for-preorder-now-shipping-march-1
And don't worry about your CC information. I won't use it, I promise

 

Just waiting for UK release, just wondering to max out the ram on this i heard that GTA in some parts can use 6Gb of ram, can anyone comfirm this?

 

I might be wrong..but shouldn't the ram be at 1066MHz?

 

Hard drive options are really expensive. I'm fine with everything but the HD......I mean 5400rpm 160GB stock?

 

Anyone know if the Gobi is for the SIM cards?

 

Dang it, now we have to custom spray it if we want that sexy white.

 

Found this interesting, although it may not mean anything:

 

I have a 5400rpm drive on my netbook + Atom, it is so slow i could ram a dirty fork in my eye

 

it will probably get a core i5 update soon... this site shows it:

http://prcappzone.intel.com/cn/consumer/shop/product.htm?sid=notebook&productId=399897

 

I think it's just an ad. Before you click the su7300, it has one for core i3.

 

I have a western digital 320gb hd at 7200rpm that I put into my hp tx2. That should fit in the m11x, right?

 

Yup. It's better to buy the 500 7200rpm from newegg and stick it in, but.......might void warranty.

 

is anybody not interested how the link was found ? what happens if you actually try and buy it ? does it work ?

 

Hopefully I can change the order if I need Gobi Mobile Broadband to use the stick-your-SIM-card-in-it feature.

 

I'm disappointed at that too. Esp if only Japan would get the white M11x!!

 

Link is from Gizmodo so it is legit.

 

Ordered

 

Me too! I wanted white too.

 

anyone have experience with inordinately long shipping estimates from dell like this? Am I seriously going to have a to wait a full month for it to even ship?!

 

wrxdrunkie, how did you customize yours?

 

. . . and ordered!

My config:
Lunar Silver chassis (still not sure on this, but I think I'll like it )
Core 2 Duo SU7300
4GB RAM
160GB HDD (I just bought a 128gb SSD to replace this)
Blutooth
And of course, the personalized nameplate

Total: $969 + tax

I also paid for overnight shipping since it was only $16. Total was $1044.10 for me, not bad at all. And since the price before tax+shipping was under $1000, I can grab a SquareTrade 3 year warranty w/ accidental damage for $200.



Estimated ship date not until march 1st, but I ordered a bunch of systems from dell last summer and all came early (sometimes by weeks), so I'm expecting I'll have it this month.

Thanks a ton for the tip that the order page was up!

 

FWIW, the Core i3/i5 upgrade thing they are showing on the left is just the standard advertise. Go try configuring a Inspiron with a Pentium or Core 2 Duo and it gives the exact same thing, so it is doubtful that the i3 or i5 are coming any time soon.

Dell is actually well known to over-estimate the ship date. I recall ordering a 30" monitor from them, and the ship date was in a month. Talk about a shock when it was at my door a week later

 

Have there been any new release laptops that have taken the full shipping estimate or *gasp* longer than that?

The main reason I ask is I just have a phobia of paying so much for something I wont get my hands on for more than a month. Dell should basically not charge until they ship you the laptop but of course that is out of the question for big business

 

The front page for the order page says 8 1/2 battery life... thought it was 6 and a half?!

 

Well, ordered one as well, thanks for the link! Now here's hoping it actually went through ha!

Did the Silver, SU7300, 4GB, 500GB 7200, bluetooth, and a blue fx scheme ha... suprised it asked all that, custom wallpaper even ha...

Same 3/1/10 Ship date, and overnight shipping for $16.

Excited, hopefully they won't reject our orders and make us redo them... as I still cant' find it on the Dell site other than that one link. Anybody received an email receipt yet? I have not. But not sure how long that takes, never ordered a dell....
