    There is not official Dell 980m part number. Dell do not sell or offer systems with real MXM 980m units as they've switched to soldered junk.
    You'd be looking at a Clevo 980m if you want to put it in the machine in your sig. You can readily by them from Hidevolution or RJ Tech.

    I got my 970M from Hidevolution from their website.. Don't get it from ebay, get a quote directly from them.. Call them up.. There is a UK number that goes through to their US office..... I actually know that someone got it for much cheaper from a EU reseller.. I can't find this info now but will look for it later...

    We do ship international, just be aware you will need to pay VAT on delivery in the UK.
