The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.
I've had my R2 for less than a month and the soft black coating is already starting to peel. Is this normal? Are there any options available to "fix" it?
I was in the exact same situation as you are. Call alienware and they'll probably ask for pictures. I had to send mine into to the repair depot. This was over a.week ago and I'm still waiting.
