Thanks. This is important to me. I am still not sure if to order a completely new m18x R2 w/ 680M SLI or simply buy the cards for my R1.

If any user in the States can open their AW laptop without any penalty, and I can't to do that in Germany and am supposedly forced to pay 200 EUR for a technician, this is very unfair. I am perfectly able to open my M18x and replace the card myself.

I just double checked with Germany... you can open your case, there is no problem with that and the warranty will not be voided.
So same as North America Policy.

Alienware M17x R4 Teardown

I could really really use a Teardown video for the display.


No no, my display panel works fine, but I need to replace that overly reflective plastic screen mounted in front of the display panel. For the price, I'd expect Glass - with an anti-reflective coating, like Apple's similarly designed notebook displays have.

So, I'm considering taking that cheesy sheet of plastic to a local glass maker and have them make a replacement glass and put a non-reflective coating on it. probably gonna cost a fortune for a single piece...


This plastic sheet has me convinced that Alienware engineers work in complete darkness or else, they had to have noticed that the screen turns into a mirror with any light source at all located behind you. Even the illuminated keyboard causes massive reflections. Nearly every review complains about it for years now, but Dell seems to be deaf

People buy their mirrors at Bed and Bath
