    Hi, I am very annoyed by the recent deal on Alienware M11x laptops in the US. I can now get the same laptop for £362 whereas in the UK, without any added extras it starts at £599! Its ridiculous how the Americans can get the better deals where we have to pay so much more! :mad: I was looking to buy an Alienware laptop but cant find any good places which are cheap? Any suggestions would be much appreciated :) And if anyone has had a similar problem, could they tell me how they got through it? Im new to this forum and young so dont have experience or alot of money. Thanks!

    we still have to pay for the shipping and then 20% vat once we buy it :( so that site doesn't really help much xD

    @OP, you can sign up here, via the Dell UK site to get specials, promo's e-mailed to you.

    It may help with the price, for when you are ready to purchase : )

    This is so annoying. Everything in the UK is much more expensive then in the US. Why? When it costs the same money to make? :(
