So first of all Dell is awesome. Ordered Sunday got it today at 8am. Awesome, i didn't ask for overnight shipment or any time line but within 5 days or so got it to me. Second I started this baby up and let me say after spending a good few hours DLing everything and running what i usually run and checking to make sure everything is up to date this is my mind in the link.

Just ordered my m14x from changing my mind from the m17. The deal this week was too good to pass up to a 8gb for a cheap price as well as the TB hard drive free upgrade. This allowed me to rank up my i7 processor to a 2760 2.4 ghz. Very excited and can't wait for my baby to get here in just a week or so. Hopefully it'll run everything i desire.

Also since im ordering now, I was wondering if i got Microsoft word from them if that would be the cheapest place to find it since i am a student and need word. Or if i could say hi to a friend and be like "need word download" kinda deal. Also any suggestion highly on making my new comp. I mean this will be my 3rd alienware but my last two were m11x and im upgrading

Yeah Ive herd calling it might save me some good money and i have usually ordered form online. Also I will look around refurb for something for even cheaper. I would like to have both if i could and hopefully have a sales rep knock it down cause if I get both the higher processor and card then it rounds to 1850 or so and Id hope a rep would knock that down if I haggle a bit.

I plan to order a new m17x since my last laptop (alienware as well) died and passed away. My question is that I want to stay around 1700 but i have a choice between upgrading the video card to NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560M rather then the AMD Radeon™ HD 6870M. Or should I bump the video card from Intel® Core™ i7 2670QM (2.2GHz,3.1GHz,w/Turbo Boost, 6MB Cache to Intel® Core™ i7 2760QM (2.4GHz,3.5GHz,w/Turbo Boost, I plan on having 4 gigs of ram and default on others but i also need windows which makes me only allowable to have either or. The rest is all default. Any advice would be nice.
