GabrielZ Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Got a link to the price drops gabe? Or at least how much the drop was?Thanks -Ash The Dell Online Store: Build Your System Basically the canadian website has it for 1999.99 plus the improvement to xfire 6970s is less than a third than it was for the US site, so that's why I mentioned pricedrops I guess it's all up in the air. I know that as a student I'll save every last dollar I can, but I want/need a mobile powerhouse since I travel a lot and this G73 isn't cutting it.

kune Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I'll call my Dell rep in 2 hours and see what he has to say about this.If it's true, I'll deny delivery of my r3 (on truck to my house right now) and apply my 20% discount to an 18x...but I'll have to set aside an extra $2k for chiro bills from carrying this beast around all day!

Founder Brian Posted April 29, 2011 Founder Share Posted April 29, 2011 I wonder if Dell will honor those orders. I have a feeling those M18x orders will be cancelled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashtefere Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 It was $150 to upgrade from a 5870 to dual 5870 in australia for the R2 when it first came out. And that was when our dollar was bad - about $80 USD equivalent.-Ash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way they'll do it for $150. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mw86 Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 No way a crossfire 6970M will cost $150, go check Exotic PC's X7200 Clevo.... they offer the 6970M Crossfire for $600 something and I would say IMO that their price listed will probably be at least as high as that... because its not like Dell to undercut their competition.

GabrielZ Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 They're apparently gearing up for launch on Tuesday from what I heard from a phone rep when I asked about ordering it here in the US. He said that barring any last minute delays it should be here by then on their website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear ya Brian... the Clevo we've discussed can get about the same hardware at around $4300 that I picked, when Dell wanted nearly $5900 with only a inch bigger screen with WLED being a difference. Tempting because of the Price tag... but Alienware is more than a computer its a lifestyle.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e46justice Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 wow so i asked my GF of 4 years who hates my tech addiction if i should just keep the R3 or send it back and get the way more expensive one, and she said get what i want doesn't matter what it costs she will support it but she wants a ring. Damn!lol tricky women is tricky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

svl7 Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Japanese prices seem to be a bit more sane.I'm curious what Dell will charge for a nice M18x in Switzeland (once it will become available... ) Usually the prices are pretty insane... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
