!!Ecstatic new m7700 owner!!

Hi!
I've been following this forum for about a month now and I finally joined cuz my new lappy is worthy of it! I just got my very first AW in time for college! (just a few years ago, i was drooling over the AW website dreaming of someday owning something of the like). All my friends are dying to see wut i described as "the biggest freakin thing ive ever seen!"The Area-51 m7700 is by far the greatest thing ive ever owned and i cudnt be happier!

I ordered my lappy about a week before Xmas last year and it came on Jan. 9. The order was delayed due to the holidays but i was sent what was described on this forum as a "rare alienware keychain (that you cannot buy otherwise)" The lappy is actually well worth the wait...and for those of you thinking you missed out on not owning a keychain, its just a metal oval with an AW STICKER on it with ALIENWARE imprinted on the bak. (made in china...)

Ive read on a few threads that ppl recieved their AW with dead pixels, but mine came with none Im still in the process of installing some programs and i havent had a single problem. The process is gonna take a while tho cuz i got an ungodly amount of skool work on my desk

Im also still trying to figure out some of the functions of my lappy and ide really appreciate it if you m7700 veterans could help me out. I'll post my questions some other time (skool work argh!)

As for those of you considering to purchase an Area-51 m7700, I cannot emphasize how impressive it really is. Awesome power with a beautiful chassis. (The alien eyes on the back light up bright blue!! BLUE!!)

O HAIL ME MIGHTY LAPPY!!



Again, really glad to join this forum

Im really not sure as to how to use the functions of this forum. Heres a starter: how do i post something under a line after my thread that will come up after every thread i put up?

thnx in advance for an answer!

Im actually not a hardcore gamer like many of you AW fans and my AW is probably not as powerful as many of ures. But being part of this forum, im obliged to share my specs:

Area-51 m7700
Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz
512 DDR2-SDRAM (4x)
NVIDIA GeForce Go 6800 Ultra
Extreme Performance: RAID 0 160GB (80GB x 2) 5400 RPM ATA100
8X Dual Layer DVD+/-RW / 24X CD-RW Combo w/Software (no secondary optical drive)
17" WideUXGA 1920 x 1200 LCD Clearview Display with Built-in Camera

heres a question from the noob: Is there a way to turn off the moniter of my m7700 without standing by or turning off? I leave my lappy on alot and im concerned if doing so wud burn the screen.

thnx

thnx hulioni.

Do u know how to program the application A-P button? At the moment it directs me to windows media player but ide like to use it to open microsoft word or turn off the moniter. Help is appreciated

Can anyone tell me the primary difference btween the Area-51 models and the MJ-12 models?

man the alienguise schemes rock! I used the ALX scheme and my already fancy lappy is a whole lot fancier. The skins are truly unique....another reason to buy an AW! (i think u can download them from online actually, u just need windows xp)

Any one here familiar with Command and Conquer Generals? I really love that game...not as much as my lappy of corse:P

i havent got to installing Command and Conquer Generals on my lappy yet but i carried some old files of some screenshots over to it. The graphics are amazing!! (i have 256MB Geforce 6800 Ultra) All the lines look super sharp like paper! Cant wait to play it! But i probly wont be able to cuz of skool work

maybe in late february during winter break...
