    hello,


    I wanted a clevo P150HM but due 2 the high temps etc I was considering a Alienware notebook. However I cant seem 2 find the M15x only the M14x (which is 2 small) and the M17x (which is 2 large). 15.6 inch screen on a notebook is perfect for my needs. Is the M15x line discontinued?



    Thanks!

    Yes. No more M15x since a couple of months... :cry: though you can still get some great deals on them (second-hand) when you check the marketplace.

    Edit: Oh yeah, thanks Villosa, forgot about the outlet since there isn't one where I live.

    M17x is just SLIGHTLY wider, and less thick. Pretty much a M15x with a 17" screen.

    Wow no that is the M17x R2. The M17x R3 is even closer to the M15x as it is much smaller than the R2 in the picture. It has been long discussed that the single GPU R3 is the M15x replacement.
