Paint job is excellent.... absolutely great looking machine. Thanks for the pics + vids

hooray!!

Can't wait Brian, I'd say take your time but I think you should hurry up

I will be buying this for sure, DELL needs to be reassured making a return back to high quality will get them big money....and I support it with my wallet.

Thanks for the pictures. I usually restrain from swearing but....this machine looks FUCKING incredible. WOW

More M18x rumors: Google Translate

Key points:

• M18x will have a limited PSU (probably 240W)
  
• M18x will support 6970M XF
  
• M18x will not support 2920xm due to increased TDP requirements which add to their R&D cost. You can add it in yourself but they advise against it since their labs haven't validated it.
  
• IPS/OLED: Cost is too high, they eat too much power
  
• RGB LED: Not too clear but he said they can't see the difference in color between WLED and RGB LED. They also claim RGB LED damages your eyes (LOL).
  
• Starting price will be $500 higher than it was for M17x-R2
  

T_T...seems like Alienware is committed themselves to more budget machines/skimping out on stuff.

I agree with that, wonder why carbon fiber hasn't been expanded more into the laptop realm?

Say it aint so....I guess it makes sense because they need to sell the refreshed SB chipsets and unload alot of R3 stock. At least a teaser pic Alienware?

lol so far no ones touched me for linking to Brian's forums yet in my sig. Is the M18x rumored for mid/late March release?

There was quite some excitement leading up to CES, and then from what I can tell a bit of a letdown with the release of the M17xr3

From what I have read, some people feel that Del marketing a model to counter Asus G73 increasing market share @ the lower starting price point was not what they expected

Very much interested in actual individual sales numbers of the Alienware lineup, I have the feeling like many that the R3 was a dud by DELL standards. Scoured the internet for these individual sales numbers and can't find a drop of info on it on say the sales of M15x in Q2 2010 or total sales of the R2 in 2010 ect.

BTW call me a daily visitor now Brian, its nice to say/blast/flame/praise whatever way you want for once (WITHIN reason ofc)!
