I've never had any issues with overheating on my laptop, but then again, I don't game like everyone else out there with this laptop Do I recommend it? Nope.

Currently, my 49 GB collection of metal on random. Right now, Lazarus AD is rocking my speakers out. \m/

Bumping for good luck....

Awesome! I still want to see nile play live... They put on a cool show.

Heh.... come out for a drive with me then sometime. I'm a true metal head at heart..... I blare cannibal corpse and nile at 8 in the morning just to wake up. LOL

Honestly, for me, I'm still a 100% linux guy. I'm just always on the look for open-sourced software, etc. Plus I'm more old school, and prefer the command line over everything else.

Pretty much, yes. I thought I fixed it, but the webcam and microphones still aren't detected. You think I should try a different version of the bios?

Heh... Yup, sounds like windows... LOL! Nothing personal against windows, but for me, linux is where it's at.

Hey, can I send you a private message in regards to my M14x?

Being a *nix user, how is windows 8 overall? I mean, what are the best and worst features?

Was anything in general really.... Bios flasher/utilities, etc

Wow... That was interesting.

Hey dell, corp here. Just wondering if you guys have any open-source tools or utilities that you use, yet we wouldn't know about. Not sure if this should be here, but I have the M14x. Also, linux user here, so as well.... Any "official" linux support from Dell yet? Cheers, o/ Josh

Heh... Thanks for this man, I never realized that was there. o/

Well, makes two of us then. Running linux on my end, and had the same thing happen. Webcam, and the dual array microphones, randomly shit out a few days ago. Last time this happened, I used my old motherboard, and swapped. (I had to reflash it in order to get it working again.) Now, knowing that.... This time around, reflashing the BIOS manually did not work. Kind of sad now, since I'm moving really soon, and would like to have these features working, as I will be traveling for a small bit. Please note, I used the latest A08 unlocked BIOS, and still no go. I'm about to resort to a hammer, and cross Dell off of my list. Dell, I was counting on you to make something that worked, and you have failed me again. PS - If any of the Dell reps see this, could you do some research for me? I really would like to fix this, instead of smashing everything but the hard drive, and switching to something else, ie System 76.....
