Founder Brian Posted April 21, 2011 Founder Share Posted April 21, 2011 Well since Frank Azor didn't give us a concrete release date, what's your best guess? I spoke to a guy I know at Dell via PM and he told me it's either 5-11 or 5-15 and that the release date is always a moving target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iloveb00bs Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 hopefully its soon, still trying to decide between keeping the r3 or the M18x just cause of build quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder StamatisX Posted April 21, 2011 Founder Share Posted April 21, 2011 5/23 because being fashionably late is cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Brian Posted April 21, 2011 Author Founder Share Posted April 21, 2011 hopefully its soon, still trying to decide between keeping the r3 or the M18x just cause of build quality.Sell the R3 and get the M18x. Way better build quality, more features, bigger screen, double the performance, overclocking, IGP support..it just destroys an R3. R3's only advantage is weight.

eYe-I-aïe... Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 and, as of 04.21.2011, is live in hands of real people out there...But, that'll change soon...Gotta love the M18X... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iloveb00bs Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 still a tough one for me, the r3 more then suit my needs, but crappy build is really bothering me. i guess i will wait for your review before making final decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Founder Michael Posted April 22, 2011 Founder Share Posted April 22, 2011 I say end of May, since Brian saw the date 5/24 on the japanese site, i bet it'll be around that +-3 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mw86 Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Yes like Michael said probably the end of May and as always (just like Stamatisx said) they will be fashionably late, but that's not cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joebarchuck Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 I am in shock to see that UK and a few other countries have had the M18X for over a week now and still nothing for the USA. I guess that's the new way AW is getting products out since it also happened with the R3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Not so much available as has popped up on the configuration page then disappeared. I don't think it's actually out anywhere, anyone else correct me if I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Brian Posted April 26, 2011 Author Founder Share Posted April 26, 2011 Yeah it's not available anywhere yet but my guess is when it does go live, Europe will see it first on their pages and the USA last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joebarchuck Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Oh I had not realized they took it away but I agree with Brian, the USA will see it last and I find this not fair since we represent most of AW sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's usually a few hours difference to a max of one day. At least we don't get screwed with the price like they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Brian Posted April 26, 2011 Author Founder Share Posted April 26, 2011 Precision M6600 is due for release May 10th worldwide. This means we might see M18x on May 10th or 11th. Like I said before, a Dell employee told me either May 11th or 15th. So 2 weeks and hopefully we can start ordering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mw86 Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 The avenger is lurking around the corner... it's not very stealth like because it's 18.4". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashtefere Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 I have always loved the look of the precision 17 line of lappys. They kinda get me a bit hot. If I could get one with crossfire/sli I would just die.An 1120sp HD6970 in a precision m6600 would actually be kind of a beast TBH. Or even a 485m I guess. Depends if the 6600 has thunderbolt or expressport 2.0 connection on it.Anyway, ignore my rambles. I just want a new lappy already that doesnt have sata issues.-Ash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Brian Posted April 26, 2011 Author Founder Share Posted April 26, 2011 If there was a precision with 1120 shader 6970M that was cooled well enough (precision usually has weaksauce cooling) I'd jump on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mw86 Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 (edited) The only thing that precision had that appealed to me was it's fancy optional IPS RGB LED screen which is a nice feature. The 4GB Nvidia 5510M sets this beast apart from it's other Mobile counterparts. Edited April 27, 2011 by mw86 I forgot the best part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
