Stevenxowens792 Posted May 3, 2011 Author Share Posted May 3, 2011 My bad... sorry bout that. What config did Brian get? I guess with the m18x you might as well go big or just get the 17. Xfire 6970 makes me want to excuse myself for a bathroom break... Just wow. My wife would KILL me ...

I guess you saw his order by now (it's linked in my post) yeah, while I am extremely happy with my decision to order the m17x-r3, I can't deny I feel the itch to order this beast but ad you I am also afraid of my wife! haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaneGRClose Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Looks like pricing on upgrades has gotten a lot better from the initial config page we saw. $400 for XFire 6970's is actually a pretty dang good price IMO, looks like most of the pricing held solid but the most important ones are better. I haven't seen any numbers on battery life, does anyone know what the battery life is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Michael Posted May 3, 2011 Founder Share Posted May 3, 2011 Yeah, 3 hours on IGP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaneGRClose Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Ouch! Well it's tempting but I think I'd build a desktop before I bought an 18x with that battery life. Nice rig but I'm enjoying my new R3 just fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joebarchuck Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 It's not as expensive as I thought last week. It's basically $500.00 more expensive than my R3 for the same config except with one 6970M more than mine and a 1.1 in bigger screen than my R3. The question is that worth $500.00 more... Not sure.

Founder Brian Posted May 3, 2011 Founder Share Posted May 3, 2011 Well to be more accurate: 1. Bigger screen2. Dual GPU3. Aluminum construction4. Subwoofer5. Alien TactX Macro keysI'd say it's definitely worth the $500 considering what you're getting. There is also the possibility that the WLED employed in the M18x has a 95% gamut.

kune Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 (edited) :Banane16:Now I just need HIDevolution to get their page up! Oh, and ~$4500 What config are you looking for? I'd be willing to order for peoples: The system can be cheaper if purchased from Canada, depending on the config. 2920XM xfire 6970M USD = $3300 2920XM xfire 6970M CAD = $3150 Edited May 3, 2011 by kune Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashtefere Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Alienware M18x Laptop DetailsAussie site has the placeholder up, but cant buy it yet. I am gonna laugh when they announce the price.Who here wants to bet they ignore the exchange rate?Exchange rate: 1.10GST: 10%Total adjusted price the m18x SHOULD be: 100% of USDTotal adjusted price the ma18x WILL be: 180% of USD-Ash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Brian Posted May 4, 2011 Founder Share Posted May 4, 2011 Ya never know Jon, the Canadians got lucky this time around with prices lower than the US and that never happens. All they pay is $150 for crossfire 6970M, that's insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashtefere Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Yeah, same as we did in Aus with the 5870m crossfire.Likely, standard price will be higher but crossfire price will be lower here.Here's hoping!-Ash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mw86 Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 I know $150 is amazingly low for Crossfire 6970M. Canada may very well be lucky... I'm happy they got a good deal, atleast someone will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wbabt007 Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 For those naysayers that said the m18x was just a tad bigger than the m17x-R3 here is the proof is not a"tad" Bigger, IS HUGE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Brian Posted May 4, 2011 Founder Share Posted May 4, 2011 Well that just means the screen is larger as expected. The dimensions of the actual notebook are barely any bigger than R3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
