DanXbix Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Hey my tech said it has to be approved via manager and now awaiting finance dept approval. Hoping I hear Monday and rep make laptop specs offer as there is no m17xr2 and no outlet here in Aus I guess it will be a m18x?? I have a 940xm so I guess it will be a 2960xm?

DanXbix Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 It's approved now waiting on email with specs. Thanks for listening everyone on a sad note my R2 won't turn on now and will be missed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Brian Posted November 14, 2011 Founder Share Posted November 14, 2011 Congrats man, hope you get a nice replacement M18x. Make sure you ask for 580M SLi since the 6990s + current revision motherboard have cold boot overheating issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanXbix Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Thanks excited about having a working laptop again (iPad2 is just too small) I assume with my current spec I will receive top end m18x only missing bluray burner & RGB screen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mw86 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 thats not a bad set up either.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanXbix Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Yeah its the top specs offered here in AUS with a RRP $4128 while i appreciate it i really want a Dual GPU setup as i had before and to me the 3D LCD on a laptop is really not necessary on such a small screen. The rep handling the replacement has sent an email stating they are checking specs with tech support but this wait is killing me lolI have never felt so stressed about a @&%$ laptop who actually chooses specs? is it the person ringing to say replacement is approved?

DanXbix Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Mine should be here on monday just ordered a m14x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0x29A Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 A single experience so far. The right ALT key was acting funny on the m18x. I called the hotline and requested a new keyboard. They want to send a technicial, I refused. Asked for the keyboard only. They sent me a new KB right away and it came next morning. No bullshit questions, no nothing. That was quite impressive I must say. (BTW, if I only knew that the 2-pipe HS cannot be ordered for DYI installation, I'd actually request a technician to install both, the KB and that goddamn heatsink...)

DanXbix Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 (edited) Well my saga continues eta of 30/11/11 and still hasn't shipped according to online status. M14x ordered 1 week later has been built and shipped lolUpdate: for anyone who has a order at build complete stage sometimes they forget to scan so it updates status. Mine just went from build complete to arrived in AUS after 5days. Edited November 28, 2011 by DanXbix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thorolfo Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Dear All, I bought by Alienware m17x r4 from Dell.nl this november 2012 (680m 2800euro), It accidently slid of my bed, and the lcd broke.., Its very sad to see such a beauty with a broken screen, I didnt purchase any extended guaranty or insurance, but do you still think there is a chance / way that the warranty might cover this ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Michael Posted February 9, 2013 Founder Share Posted February 9, 2013 warranty would not cover it, since it's your error that caused the problem. On the bright side- screens aren't very expensive and pretty easy to swap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elendanis Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I remember when I called about my issues with my m17xr3, it's as if they don't know their own systems. I recall when talking to one of the dell tech support representatives, they didn't even know that the alienware had replaceable parts. :U Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashtrix Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 Can I know what is the maximum warranty period that you can extend on a specific notebook ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aequinoxium Posted November 21, 2014 Share Posted November 21, 2014 I've had a 4 year warranty on some Dell systems. I requested a warranty extension online and had to answer a few questions by phone, but was able to do it. There were multiple machines and it was for a large corporation so risk vs reward for them might have been good enough to extend them. I know they will work on systems not under warranty for a price, but for only system under 5 years old. Anything under that and they won't touch it. As for laptops I have never been able to get anything but a 2 year warranty on batteries. They just accept the fact they will wear down after use.

malysh1980 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 I tried to order a warranty extension through Dell distributor. Received confirmation that everything is ready, but do not see on the site changes to the Dell warranty. maybe someone can tell what I do next?
