*OFFICIAL* "All Powerful" M15x Owner's Lounge, *Part 2*

[Stormwatch342]

Anyone know how to hook up the 5.1 surround? I dont see any settings to change it from default to surround.

As well when i plug in a mic or anything into the mic jack the sound completely cuts out.. any ideas?

So does anyone solved the keyboard stuttering ? Because the bios patch didn't work for me :/

After much thought i could order mine on 16-11 (after three Dell support people who didn't knew SSD's existed for the M15x and you can not fit a Dual 280M).

Alienware M15x Order - Netherlands

EUR 2260,- which i think is a fair price. I was amazed the upgrade from the standard to a 256 GB SSD was only EUR 300,-. Also the upgrade from W7 Home Premium to W7 Pro was only EUR 30,-

I did choose the 1600x900 screen on purpose. I know have a 17" M1710/7950GTX and I did not want an even smaller font in games.

17-11, almost 2 days later credit card cleared and it has been in Pre-production since.
EDD is 17-12, so it will take a month for me. I'm so jealous of people who received it within 2 weeks

it amazes me how expensive Europe is. Congrats on the order/purchase! I say expensive because I was able to get mine without the SSD ($300.00 extra, which is 200 euro) and 1 GB RAM less for $1499.99 which is 1,022.00 Euro.

Anywho congrats dude and enjoy the system. I"m awaiting mine as well!

You are not the only one. Mine is taking time as well. It already been 2 weeks and mine hasn't shipped yet.
