kune Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 (edited) Looks like the same wording as r3 options in BIOS settings which leads me to believe the 18x will also use InsydeH20 edit: stacked HDD ports ? "Mobile Intel HM67 Express Chipset" page 60 Maybe I was right about r3 and 18x sharing BIOS? Edited April 19, 2011 by kune 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCrichton Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 5/24/11? Ugh. That stinks. Should have just said late May. That's gonna leave me without a gaming laptop until mid-June most likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Michael Posted April 19, 2011 Author Founder Share Posted April 19, 2011 so if japan is 24 of may, US might be a week or so before that.. hopefully. that's cutting close to my moving to Brazil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wbabt007 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I feel extremely disappointed that AW just released the m14x and gave us the middle finger to the ones waiting for the m18x, that being the case I'll be keeping my M17x-R3. There was nothing wrong with the machine to start with and I am not gonna sit another 2 months waiting for my Laptop replacement. It was fun to chase the m18x, but at the end it seems AW decided t to over hype the release killing the hopes of those with current orders. It will be still fun to follow the craze.

Founder Brian Posted April 19, 2011 Founder Share Posted April 19, 2011 It sucks that it got pushed back a month but that's okay with me I guess, I have the M17x-R2 to tide me over. Still would have liked it if they released it today with the M11x-R3 and M14x. I updated the first post with the announcement video. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wbabt007 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 If they had released today, we would be talking about our orders, Sadly I really can't wait, I use my laptops for something besides gaming and I am about to go into overdrive and I need my laptop like a month ago, waiting 2 more months is out of the question for me. Hey in the upside I look forward to talk and discuss about our order to the m19x or the all powerful m21x!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
