Do you know what % is the coupon? Side note: Also, on a different subject, I have a question. My m18x R2 keyboard is not working, but lights are on. Did you ever ran into this kind of issue before and resolve it? None of the button works. I took apart the whole laptop and cleaned it, it was the last thing I did before keyboard stopped working. Edited: Nevermind, i got it working. I blew in the ribbon connector and that solved it, lol. Edited 2: The keyboard issue was something else. It wasn't blowing into the keyboard connector, it was the macro ( far left, 5 buttons ) keys that was preventing the keyboard from working. I replaced it with another macro and it solves the keyboard issue, so random. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David55 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 This has been available to order for a couple weeks now. No reviews yet. Has anyone ordered one? I am curious about the new hinge, and whether it is as secure/stiff as previous models. (I prefer a stiff hinge that does not wobble over a looser hinge that is easier to open with one finger but that wobbles.). Just two configurations available. I would want to add an additional SSD, and/or a larger capacity one. Could anyone who orders/receives one post here about your experience? Does the shipping date keep changing?

Unfortunately I don’t k ow but it’s sounding like May. Price might be 4199 but let’s see. My biggest issue is, AW is forcing RAM and SSD upgrades with the cherry mx keyboard alone.

David55 Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 The 5090 is now available both as a customized build and with pre-chosen RAM/SSD. My issue is that both the customization options and the pre-chosen RAM/SSD options only allow for multiple SSD's in Raid 0. I want to order multiple SSD's with no Raid 0. If anyone orders one, could you post updates here on changes to the estimated delivery date? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
