    This may be a strange question but...can someone tell me what kind of box their M11x ships in?

    Is it a plain dell brown box or is it some kind of box with a giant alienhead on it. I am debating having it shipped to my office but i dont want everyone to see a crazy alien box getting delivered.

    Thanks if anyone could snap a pic that would be even better.

    Big plain black box with an intel sticker on it and shipping label. Nothing crazy--but the smaller box inside has the alienhead logo on it.

    Actually I wouldn't call it a "Big" black box, it was tiny in my opinion,

    I do have to give them props on the packaging, really well done, looked good and made you feel special, LOL

    I went i7, 4gb (think its a great combo, don't really need more than 4gb) but went with the stock 160gb HD as I am putting in an Intel SSD that I bought off Ebay ($308 after bing cashback, brand new, G2R5 model, reputable seller). Unless this is your primary computer you don't really need more than 160GB...

    The box inside has a bunch of design, but the shipping box is pretty nondescript. Its plain, black and weighs close to 10 lbs. For the size of the notebook, the packaging is pretty big considering how small the notebook is though.
