What kind of goodies are being sent out with the new purchases? (11/10)

Back in February of 2008, when I got my m15x I ended up some goodies in the box. I haven't read anything about these on the site - but I do see alot of new m17x guys with some of those same items in their pictures.

Ok, so I got a very nice neropene Alienware sleeve, which I think was probably the biggest reason my laptop stayed scratch-free for it's two year life-span before it was crushed.

I got an AW mouse pad.

An AW ballcap style hat.

A cool small leather binder with a thank you letter, and all the discs for the system. It even had a couple stickers in it, and a clear sticky for the touchpad to take away the "sticking finger" issue.... I never used the touchpad though. I use external mice - so no biggy. Just noting it was in the box.

Packed extremely well in a black box.

Later, they sent me a coffe mug for taking over 2mo to get my laptop to me, LOL!

What are they sending nowadays? Hoping it's pretty much at least the same thing.

 

It is exactly the same not much has changed except for the R2 ..

 

Yea i dont think it changed to much, i got my 2 weeks ago and got about the same things, minus the Clear sticky stuff haha i guess im glad my computer didnt come with a clear sticky on the touchpad haha

 

Cool cool... I just made my order on 10/26 so I assume it's the m17x-R2. I just can't find any info on it. What're the differences?

Mainly hoping for the Neoprene sleeve... lifesaver I tell ya.

BTW, the clear sticky was requested by alot of new m15x owners then. It was really difficult to run your finger across the pad. It did not come pre-installed. It was basically just a textured sticker that was in the box just in case it bothered you. Again, it didn't bother me at all... I never used it anyways and when I did - it just took some getting used to. I didn't find it to be a huge deal. I was more concerned with my busted hinge and creaking case. :/

 

Oles chiefs. Nice you ordered a new notebook ey koolos.

The main difference to tell an R1 from an R2 with the M17x systems is to look out for the CPU and GPU options. Core i series means it is R2 and 5870 or 285M mean it is R2 also. Anything else usually means it is an R1.

I also got the same stuff and bunch of goodies like you. Although the 1st time I didn't get a cap.
I also got the alienware sticker.

Cheers.

Yeh chiefs you have the R2 build oles.
We almost have the same specs in most areas.

Yep the notebook comes dressed in the sleeze oles. Its quite awesome I use the sleeze to house the notebook and clean the screen.

Yup, it was the perfect screen cleaner! Awesome! Thanks!

Yeah, I noticed we pretty much had the same build except you've got double the vid card. Woah. That's one heckuva machine there. U el hombre! I think I said that right!
