    so far very happy , battery life is great , no probs in battlefield bad company 2 using the new dell beta drivers , it plays even better than i had hoped . patching star trek online right now , so far , very very very very happy. i was worried after reading alot of the negative posts. 2 things , once again , screen is GLOSSY , not very noticeable in game tho . and 2) the nameplate on the bottom is one charachter short , which makes having my phone number on it useless (im gonna call them and get another one) since its missing the last one.

    When I got mine, it arrived just an hour after being "shipped" on the tracking status. Such a happy surprise :]

    I just got mine yesterday. Ordered on Monday and had it Thursday (Fast Ship Model) Overclocks perfect to 1.336Ghz (166) and the 335M clocks to 560/1360/910 stable in all so far. Lid hinge is perfect.. corners and edges are perfect. ZERO issues and the build quality is freaking exceptional.

    VERY impressed with this Alienware. And without further adieu.........

    BOX!!

    congrats u guys who got it :) , as for the fast deliveries , keep in mind i didnt get my shipped notice till yesterday , as far as i knew i wasnt getting it till tues next week. Tested star trek online , plays great. Transformers war for cybertron works great too and i didnt know what a difference physx makes but its really remarkable compared to my ati rig. BTW hate to rub it in , today is like xmas , my GTX 470 came in today too. now im broke again lol

    Nice monitor and thank you for not creating another "i got mine today" thread, and thank you for even including pictures. OP should learn from you. :D

    From the looks of it, your hinge alignment looks perfect you said. (no uneven gap, etc) :)
