    Each gen of modern Alienware’s being thinner and thinner. Why would Azor suddenly change his goal beating Razer and Apple in their own play yard? Nope. Won't happen.

    He don't even give love to his own first Baby born brand anymore.

    Frank Azor the Co-founder of the Alienware... As well known as General manager for the cheaper Dell XPS line laptops. Where is the love for the brand he started up with? Power it with worse Cpu performance than the cheaper brother :confused:

    Someone managed to screenshot him saying so.
    You confuse possibility for certainty. I said "there may be", not "there is".

    Let's worry about some thing more important first, such as the windows 7 driver for the USB 3.0 controller with hardware ID 8086 A36D. FFS I could even recite that!

    Nope so far. I'm recommending everyone to get Z370 instead of Z390

    Sorry for late reply, was so ocupied that i lost track on the posts.

    The M15 seems to be very troubled. not because the heatsink being too small etc.......The inductors on the CPU side are pushing the heatsink up because they hit the heatpipes.......Yeah thats actually happening. Seems like one of their manufacturers screwed up big time. Here you can find more information https://www.reddit.com/r/Alienware/...5_i_think_i_understand_why_the_heatsink_isnt/

    In my experience. Its alway slike their design is fine but somewhere in the assembly line a screw up is being made which hampers the results. For example with the 15R3 that I own, it really came into its own after a good repad etc. This should be done in factory.

    Apparently the 8260D2W soldered into the adapter board doesn't support bluetooth. Probably an ES or QS unit.

    Not entirely sure.
