    Hey gang, anyone know what's a good discount for the m11x? Right now Dell has this system ( Alienware M11x Laptop Details | Dell) available with a $160 discount, so it costs $999.

    Is this a good deal? The offer expires this week...should I wait for a better deal? Is there any way to find out what upcoming deals there are?

    Thanks,
    Frank

    Its the deal I took, I also used a 50$ off coupon and ended up paying after tax 1,047$

    I believe it was a great deal since the other option didn't have the 500GB hardrive.

    Not bad, I went the outlet route with the 20% off coupon that expired sunday...but it still hasn't shipped grr... Sat around yesterday even though the charge went through after I authorized it and then dell called me at 5:30 pm to 'speak with me again'. Finally went 'into production' yesterday at 6pm...

    I hope this ships today otherwise there are gonna be issues since I'm not even gonna be here after this week.


    I got m11x r2 refurbished i5, 4 gig ram, 250 gb hd, bluetooth for 700 + (40 for 2 day shipping which they changed the date of est delivery AFTER i submitted the order) + 300 for 2 yr ext warranty + tax.

    I'm pretty interested in this thread again because I am at my wit's end and going to cancel my order later tonight. They won't even refund me the expedited shipping I selected even though the order is delayed over a week now.

    Anybody know if the new models will get a price drop after black friday? I am assuming they won't go down too much.

    Do you guys think there are going to be better deals for the m11x on Black Friday or the following Cyber Monday?
