So I received my m15x today

and I am completely happy with the system no problems whatsoever. Now on to some questions;

1. Is it normal for the alien head and power button to stay lit up when connected to ac while system is off?

2. I received my SBHD but when I insert it I don't see my drive in my computer. Can someone tell me how to set this up again. (been a while)

3. When the stealth button is lit up thats means its in stealth mode right?

Once again alot of the problems people complain about is not in my system or noticeable at all. Only thing I notice was a little screen wobble/creaking not bad at all though.

 

1. Yes, when the battery is charging.

2. Here is the link

3. Yep.

 

congrats on your new lappy. mine is supposed to be here thursday =)

We're glad that you enjoy your system

ur one of us now!!!!! lol i had absolutly no probs either except a tiny tiny wobble/creak but nothing likewhat other people have

 

this forum almost scared me away from purchasing this laptop, but I put my trust into aw and all is well so far.

 

well its thursday in 2 mins. . . friday is payday and then I will make my final deposit in my bank account toward my lappy =)

 

In the interest of being accurate, "lit up" is a pretty subjective term. the button "lights up" regardless when power is activated on the system (unless the AlienFX isn't working... it's happened to me). However, there is a difference in light intensity. if by "lit up" you mean, brighter than, say, the button next to it (alien ship for command center), then yes, absolutely iElSayed is 100% correct.

but if by "lit up" you mean, any light at all, then no, it doesn't necessarily mean it's on.

anyways, at this point I think everyone understands what I'm getting at here...

if the computer is on, the button will be lit, but it will be brighter when on (same with Wifi and BT... and the Command center, between the time you push it, and the time the CC starts... more or less)

 

I meant brighter, but iElsayed knew what I meant. One more question now.

Is it just me or has anyone else turned on there m15x by holding down the left n right mouse buttons on the touchpad?

 

I'll try it now...

 

okay thanks lmk if it does the same for you

 

Yes, I can turn it on like that

I think this might be because if the alien head screws up in some way - atleast there's another way to turn on the system..

 

lols thanks for testing I thought I had some tripped out system.

 

Im getting mine today deadly. Thats crazy how you ordered yours 10 days after i ordered mine...and you got it a few days before i did...It just doesnt make sense!

 

ya n1kkon I was on a VIP order for all the misunderstandings.

 

never knew that, just tried it and it switched from the 8800 to integrated. Can any one else support that starting via mouse pad will switch GPU?

 

Yes, when holding the left mouse button while the system is off it will turn on with the integrated graphics and launch media center. When it is already on then it only launches it. There is a patch to disable it if it annoys you

 

Woo! got mine! Im on it right now. its beautiful. No problems whatsoever.

 

ya i just figured that, when I use the mouse buttons to turn on the system I am automatically put into integrated graphics. I think thats a pretty cool feature. Now no need to hit FN+f7 to get into integrated and restarting.

 

Congratulations, N1kkon. Don't forget that we're here for any questions you may have.

Yeah, I agree about the mouse button feature. Saves the user from wasting battery on starting up twice. The battery life on this laptop is so beast.

 

Omg that's awesome. Handy trick!

I've been using that method to turn my laptop on for some reason - and I was wondering why it wasn't changing back to the 8800gtx haha. And before I hibernated and turned it on via the mouse buttons - and it corrupted it so that's why.

Thanks for the heads up - nice find!
