**Official Alienware M11x Owner's Lounge**

The reps are going to have a "good" time from all the questions we're gonna whack em with. Heheheehe

 

And yes, WAR, the thread has exploded. XP everyone's ordering.. except us Malaysians... T_T

 

For US, you can get stackable discounts (Student = 10%) , (DPA = 3%) , (EPP = $50) for the m11x. If you guys have any other discounts applicable to this laptop, please post!

 

the thing is, these can only be applied via phone right? at the moment until the M11x is officially on the website.

 

honestly, i would wait to get $150 worth of discount for this notebook.. you just have to wait for 2-3 days..

 

How to stack them up?

 

Then u need to call SIB/FBI/CIA do the job

 

yeah, that I can do.

 

Ohh i just realized I'm due to get one of those $100 off any EPP system coupons that I get about once a month that expire after two days.... gonna hold out for that and stack it with 7% off EPP, 3% off DPA, $50 off for the subscription.... hehe.

wow... the config I'm eyeballing is 919.... that would put me around $675

 

Wondering why they don't have the option for i3 or 15 processor....it wouldd be perfect with those processor, though battery life will be decreased...

 

Heat and battery life.

 

Is that 10% EPP for being a student?

 

No my company gets 7% and if you use DPA you get another 3%

 

*lurker jumping in*
This is pretty entertaining, refreshing the configuration page every hour and just now they removed the 'Sample image only' picture from the 'System color' option. Official release is closing in

 

Mine is officially ordered!

Anyone ordered from Canada? I'm sure there wasn't an option for bluetooth on there. I assumed it came with it?

 

What's funny is, if you click on the picture on the right side of the configuration page, it takes you to the M15x page.

 

Wonders why Asia Pac has to wait.

 

Are you sure about your rams?
Due to what I have seen in Dell USA, it is DDR3 800Mhz

 

Hm I just copy-pasted what I saw after the order page,I've gotten the confirmation email and everything as well.

 

Could someone give me info about getting that 10% discount? I have a relative that works for the DoD. Do they use a coupon I've been hearing about, call someone, or what? Please inform me.

 

Hopefully, 800Mhz is a typo there lol

 

Lol it could be,I'm not sure what it is or maybe they just gave the wrong price at the start but when the link to the UK order site was released,I 'built' my M11x to check out the price and saved it in the basket.

Woke up this morning,it was gone and when I built it again with the exact same spec it was more expensive :S Ah well,it's ordered,I'm content for now. XD

 

Grumbles irritably. Still nothing. Halo, the rep from singapore said next week, any comments?

 

Raydiddi didn't come up with the goods ay...

 

what a surprise, and y'all were so hopeful and acting like i was an idiot for being so "pessimistic"

 

Really? I'm not seeing that at all...in fact, I'm seeing a starting price of $899 where I am, which happens to be in Canada, on the Canadian link! I'd love to know how to get it down to 699 to begin with. I did see something about Microsoft Office, but currently there doesn't seem to be a "subtract" option.

Overall, while I'm still very interested in getting one of these as my school machine/occasional gamer, I'm really, really, really disappointed by the prices. On the Canadian site, my configuration came out to $1,499, and (unless I'm forgetting something), I only upgraded the CPU (which, at a $100 cost, is an absolute JOKE), RAM (because the desktop I'm currently using, which is far more powerful than the M11x, starts to chug in PS CS4 on larger files, and that's got 4 gigs), and the hard-drive. It's not horrible, but it's hardly the deal that it was made out to be by Dell/Alienware, who were hinting very heavily that this would max out at $1K. I'm afraid I'll still probably get one, but I'll be waiting for the reviews, and even if those are solid I still might hold out for a refresh. As much as I would love to put my tired old G1 out to pasture, I think it can hold out for a bit longer since this isn't the best value right now, even if it does meet my needs more than most other machines out there. Not quite the marketing coup that this could have been for them...

 

Nice to be an optimist, plus writing him off before givin the guy a chance wasn't very fair even if he did seem shady the first time around.

 

Can anyone comment on the GT330M vs the GT335M the M11X has?

 

Hey, just about to preorder but a little stuck at the Alien FX part. Is the Avatar, wallparper and FX colour sometihng you can change at any time during the products lifetime?

Really appreciate the help

 

Yeah, on the alien command center you can change the color of every part thats illuminated on your computer... same with wallpaper and with "avatar" which is just the windows picture I think...

Just select everything default and you can change it when it arrives...

cheers

 

The 330 is inferior to the 335. 70++ shaders vs 30++. The numbers tell it all.

 

Omg I Go To Sleep And Wake Up And The Price Has Gone Up By £200 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

+1. Appreciate it matey.

 

I know... I'm not sure what changed,I'm kinda gutted but I still went ahead and got it anyway.

 

Nuke737 it will be available end of this week.

Only reason if it gets delayed is if US market order too many and cause parts issue.

 

is this the europe website or something? I just ordered and it was $819 total for the basic specs + bluetooth, which is what it was at 4:37 when it went on sale

 

the cheek !! the only reason i didnt order it was because i live in the channel islands and couldnt get the tax off. i was going to wait and speak to a rep but no thanks! dont think ill buy it any more the base model is now what i was going to pay for it pimpted out!

whole knew meaning to an expensive sleep !

 

Out of interest, which price went up?

 

When the UK link to Pre-Order the M11x was given in this thread,I 'built' my M11x how I wanted it,saved it in the basket so that in the morning before mom went to work I could just make her put her details in.

Woke up this morning,item was gone from basket and for the exact same build,it cost around near £200 more...

 

Should have kept a screenshot of the price a good Rep would have matched it.

 

Wow, glad to know Dell is handling this MASSIVE opportunity so well. I can't imagine my Canadian order getting any cheaper.

 

@Halo = Okay man, I trust ya. Must... Order... "faints"

 

the hard drive is standard 2.5 sata right? so i can just take the current one out of my laptop and put it in..

also is that $50 off coupon for epp working for anyone...i entered it at the order page but it didnt apply the discount

 

I won't recommend that unless your laptop has a 7200rpm drive.

 

Well I caved in; and ordered it.

I will be returning the Sony CW I ordered.

 

Reckon the 256GB SSD will see a noticable improvement in Gaming performance over the 500GB 7200RPM HD? Lets consider here that money is no object.

 

IMO, it might help a bit. But I wouldn't know for sure the numbers involved (eg: percentages)

 

If money is no object, then going for the new Sony Vaio Z sounds better. You can handle both CPU and GPU intensive games lol

 

it's going to help a bunch with load times, but if you have 4GB+ of RAM then you wont have any swapping going on so it wont make a difference IN game.

I really want to order the SSD, but i think I'm going to get a the 250gb 7200rpm and wait a bit for costs to lower a bit more (or a good sale).

I never get beyond 100ish GB of data on my drives anyways, everything is stored on my Windows Home Server.
