# SOLID GOLD BRICKS REINFORCED WITH COALFIRED STEEL MINED BY HARD WORKING AMERICANS <| sep |> T 1000 confirmed . Judgement Day is upon us ! <| sep |> Glad to hear I am clearing some things up for you . I ' ve had an AlienWare m 14 x r 2 since June 2012 . Great machine . Purchased it with 1 year of premium support standard and 1 year of accidental damage protection was 20 extra at the time . Shot at the screen with a bb gun on accident , called Dell , technician came the next day and replaced the entire screen assembly . Notebook stopped charging , just said plugged in , not charging , called Dell , technician came next day to replace motherboard and gave me a new charger . Had a weird lightbleed ' mush ' on the middle of the screen which was visible on a blackdark screen . Ended up the same as the bb gun accident . After the 1 year of both ' warranties ' I haven ' t had any problems or failures . Since I had 1 year of both services , I am not sure if the premium support covers all the problems I had , I ' d advise you to get accidental damage protection for the duration of your premium support just in case definitely worth the extra expensein my opinion . My m 14 x r 2 lasted me a long time and still looks great . Unfortunately the LCD broke last week so I decided to get a new notebook the 13 r 3 . I am probably getting the 512 GB to start off . And I think I will buy a 500 GB or 1 TB 960 EVO later on . Still debating whether I should get an extra year of support or a Graphics Amplifier , maybe I ' ll end up getting both . Installation of the SSD in very straightforward and I bet there will be plenty of video guides after release . You can also check out the disassembly and repair guide which explains it as well . You can find it on Dell ' s website . Edit SSD Installation kZoUcQzfQAs
