A new alienware should not have so many issues, call dell and demand a refund or a new build (your preference) Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2

Seems like at least one of the video cards are damaged (probably the master one).have dell replace them again, maybe even try pushing for dual 680m exchange. You might get lucky Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2

Those are just rebadged old cards, maybe slightly better performing but nothing too exciting. http://www.anandtech.com/show/6579/nvidias-annual-gpu-rebadge-begins-geforce-gt-730m-and-geforce-710m-partial-specs-published Certainly isn't worth waiting for m14x refresh because of it.

just demand a refund if you're still within your 21 days. Bet they will offer to replace your keyboard and the screen again just to convince you not to return it.

Seems like you got a lemon. Frankly, I'd either demand a new unit built or a full refund.

Looks interesting indeed Thanks for the tip!

Oops, same mistake as [MENTION=119]Mr. Fox[/MENTION]

[MENTION=119]Mr. Fox[/MENTION] did it not long ago.

A bad bad place where computer enthusiasm goes to die :-) /joke It's a rival notebook forum (notebookreview.com)

@Clevorr i personally wouldn't trust >3K$ with a company like Razer. In my opinion they do shiny products with mediocre insides. The three mice of theirs (2x mamba + orochi) gave me that feeling - all three had a "showstopper" defect within a year of purchase.

Congrats and welcome buddy!

What's the error you are getting?

There was never a m15x with core-I family processors

eBay would be a good and cheap option. Bought quite a few screens for different laptops on ebay, and as long as i kept with reputable sellers all went smooth.

Any 920 really, you must be seeing oem & qs/es chips. All of them will work.

Yep, that one too :-) unless the bios has a white list of allowed cards (which it doesn't in your case) you can install any card you want :-)

Just bought my first turbo car ever (Audi A3 2.0 TFSI) so yeah, a turbo or general car thread would be nice!

yes, don't see why not.

Out of curiosity-why do you list display port as a disadvantage over hdmi?

Depends on what I need I sometimes leave the wifi cables in and just leave the screen lying next to the bottom part. Those pesky little wifi cables are such a pita to put back

Yeah nada from Dell for Linux at all.

Up to you really, performance-wise there is no difference I can think of

Nope. 80 is fine.

According to our bios guru @svl7 machines that come pre installed with windows 8 have very slight chance of getting a modified bios.

@moka - if you want @Xonar to notice your question use the '@' sign in front of his name. That way he will be notified of your mention. Welcome to TI Btw ;-)
