    Hi,

    I ordered 1499 AW17 R2 and put my hotel address where I'm staying and Alienware customer service told me it's against their policy to deliver to a hotel. So I spoke with a manager to reconfirm and had the order cancelled.

    Now, I'm looking for a new website where I can order the same model and have it delivered to my hotel. I know I can order from Amazon or BestBuy but those come with 5400rpm HDD whereas AW is now offering 7200rpm.

    Is there any website where I can order the same new model from? Any suggestion is appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Ordering ANW17-2136SLV Amazon. Couldn't find 7200rpm anywhere... will probably buy a SSD later.

    Hope you get it without issues. The SSD will come as a great upgrade to that rig!

    I got the 7200 and it doesn't feel all that fast. Upgraded to an M.2 last night. That's more like it! ;)

    You may have to get a PO Box or something similar at a local post office or UPS store. Most high dollar purchases won't deliver to a hotel or other non permanent abode.
