New Alienware 14 Discussion and Sharing

[FlushX]

Hope I posted in the right section.

Am looking forward to receiving my Alienware 14 laptop next week, not the highest of specs. From SingNet Fibre promo one.

Anyone else looking forward to this machine?

Bought a SSD as well. But so far can't find any dis-assembly or upgrade guide for this machine leh.

Mind sharing the specs of your machine? And damage?

I think this will be fairly easy to upgrade. Enjoy!

Just bought the 17", swapping the harddisk to ssd was pretty straight forward, just 2 screws hold the backcover, slide open the cover and the main harddisk was right in the centre.

I'm not using Alienware's Notebook, my AC adapter is always plug and on when i using the notebook, but i never put my battery into the notebook. i only used battery once in a while to avoid spoiling by leaving the battery keep only it drained out

tricky part is that the Alienware notebook battery is built in
