Hi everyone,
I am new to this forum and this is my first time posting here. I am from Singapore, and will be studying information systems in August and I have a few questions.
1) Is the M14x suited for IS students? Will the M14x last me the whole 4 years of my university?
2) I am buying the M14x for 2 purposes: for school as well as for gaming. I only play Dota 2 and I foresee it to be the only game I will be playing in the next 4 years. How does the M14x cope with Dota 2?
3) I have a budget of S$2500 (USD 2500). Alienware laptops are grossly overpriced here in Singapore. The best deal I can find is S$2100(USD 1700) for the following specs:
i7-36300M
750GB harddrive
8GB ram
GT650M.
Are there any Singaporeans on this forum who knows where I can get a better deal? I read on this forum that Alienware dealers browse these forums regularly. Are they able to give me a better price?
4) the M17x r3 will be out in coming June. Should I buy the R2 or wait for the R3?
Thanks in advance for your input.

As for school, it should very comfortably handle most college tasks. CS major here. -
Go check them out Alienware M14x - XOTIC PC - Alienware 14" Custom Gaming Notebook
BTW The gt650m will run DOTA 2 easily at good fps ! -

Calling to sales is always the best option
They'll give you their best deal to close the sale.

I understand I need to call sales. But I am from Singapore, and I'm really really unsure who to call (the reps on this forum are mostly USA based)

thanks for your help! anyway regarding my last question.
Do i wait for the r3? or stick with the r2? -

I would say it's a personal decision. -
I've actually looked at xtopicpc and hidevolution. yes it is much cheaper and the shipping fee of 158 USD and tax that I have to pay(7%) makes it only slightly cheaper from what I can get locally.
