    Looks like Dell/Alienware removed the option to get the lunar shadow for the new r1 m11x.

    I wasn't a big fan of Lunar Shadow. They should of had Nebula Red instead IMO. That would make the M11X look soooo sexy.

    I like my Lunar Shadow R2. :( I wanted cosmic black not the stealth black soft touch. But once it was here I found I really like the Lunar Shadow with the black alien head.

    Seeing Lunar Shadow via pics from the internet makes it look dull/boring but once you see it in person and actually owned one then it is a whole new look.

    Yes, lunar shadow is much better in person than in pictures. I have seen all 3 colors in person, and lunar shadow trumps the rest. the soft touch black is boring and not so good looking. I would take the cosmic black over soft touch any day.

    I like the lunar more than the cosmic black, but I like the soft touch over all. The cosmic appears too "shiny" for me, but when I ordered mine, Lunar was already gone

    Lunar Shadow FTW. Actually my first choice was nebula Red, but that isn't available on the M11x. I wanted something different from the regular ol black laptop that everyone has.

    Note: I was a launch buyer.
