M14x Order Status Discussion

[Cero89]

Just wondering, what specs you choose?

PROCESSOR Intel® Core™ i7 2670QM 2.2GHz (3.1GHz w/Turbo Boost, 6MB Cache)
OPERATING SYSTEM: Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium, 64bit, English
WIRELESS CARDS:Killer™ Wireless-N 1103 a/g/n 2x2 MIMO for Gaming & Video
HARD DRIVE: 750GB 7200RPM SATA 3Gb/s
MEMORY: 6GB Dual Channel DDR3 at 1600MHz
VIDEO CARD: 3.0GB DDR3 NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 555M using NVIDIA Optimus™ technology
LCD PANEL: 1600x900

These are the main specs.. I bought this on Dell Italy ('coz I'm Italian of course ) It was an offer with that Gpu and some more "advanced" features..

Nice, sounds like you got quite a deal. Im just hoping that 555m will last me for at least a little while, seems like the gpus get outdated too fast, unless you are running a high end gpu.

Me too.. That's always been the problem with technologies in general. Anyway I think this machine is pretty awesome according to all reviews and videos on youtube. Alienware always inspired me a lot and finally I bought one!

GUYS!!! Hello I am new to pretty much forums in general.... But I often read up on people in receiving their new alienware laptops. I actually recently built a new desktop and its been giving me trouble with gaming because there always seemed to be an issue with something with my computer so I constantly had to purchase something new or to fix a problem. So yesterday I decided to buy an alienware m14x!!! I am pretty excited about getting a new toy so I have ZERO patience!! Im sure you guys are just as excited as I am!! neways I ordered on 2/12/12 in the afternoon and it is in production!! Hopefully they send it sooner than their EDD which is 2/24/12!

M14X - i7 2670QM 2.2GHz - 6GB DDR3 1600MHz - 4.0 High Def+ (1600x900) - 3.0GB DDR3 NVIDIA GeForce GT 555M - 750GB - Killer Wireless-N - Bluetooth

Cad~ wow urs came fast!!! let me know what you think of the laptop! Its day 5 for me now... its killing me waiting -_-

daNiifer - Received it about 2 this afternoon. I've got to say that it is really nice overall. I was afraid it would be a bit small but I am used to the 13" MacBook, so it is not too bad. Weight is a little heavy but again not bad. The glossy screen is something I was concerned about but it looks great. I loaded SWTOR and the graphics look nice. Game is running just fine. Next up will be Skyrim. It has been a few years since I have played games on a PC. I think this is going to be a very fun device to have around!! Hope you get your soon. I'm sure you will enjoy it.

Well, I finally took a plunge into purchasing the M14 and it recently arrived.

I am VERY pleased with it and it has surpassed my expectations.

It has to be one of the best keyboards/touchpads I have ever used between Asus/MSI/Sager gaming laptops.

I was going to grab an Asus product, but after keeping my laptop for 6 weeks at the repair depot and forcing me to send a 7 day old laptop to the depot because the AC adapter was faulty, I decided to never go with them again - Dell/AW's next-business day support is the reason I chose AW.

I'll list a little review when I get a chance of the pros/cons after using it for a week or so~ Out of all the laptops I've owned, this is the one I've been the most happy with. My only regret is not extending the warranty at the time of purchase.

i think you can still buy extended warranty while within your 1 year warranty.

Yeah, but the only issue with that is if you add a warranty while in-warranty, the price is more and if you wait until after-warranty, it's even more, hence why I regret it It's 199$ at the time of purchase I believe and Dell is asking 280$. I'll just have to try various reps when I have time and patience
