Alienware m18x or m17x r4?

Ha had it then (7970 and everything) but the verification code to add it into the basket didnt work so i lost it

Annoyed ...
 
There was a m17x with 7970m for 841 exc vat. An m18x with dual 7970m for 1071 exc vat.
Both were gone within a minute as I was on my phone and wouldn't load quick enough. :-(

That’s the one i saw, i entered the verification code in lower case which is what i think cost me it ... oh well there’s always next week
 
Ive never used a script and always got one when I wanted one just by refreshing by value (highest first) and as soon as something new is added (im refreshing page every 2 or 3 seconds) - its in my basket before i even look at the spec.

Im delighted with my r4, its brilliant, I cant fault it everything runs like a dream.

How does it look and feel in the flesh mate, does it look as childish as some reviews say or does it look decent?
 
I have been looking at the M17x R4 with the stock CPU but upgraded 8GB memory and the 7970M..

Few questions to any owners..

Are they any good? I down graded from my PC setup due to space and want something good but portable.

How many memory slots on the board? I am presuming 4 as I would like to upgrade from 8GB to 16GB as it is cheaper than paying dell to do that...

I obviously want to pay as little as possible and my price is around £1300 - £1400 delivered which I don't mind paying but I know someone in this thread said to ring up and haggle, how well does that work?
 
Anyone get any from the Dell outlet?

Just missed out on an r4 with 7970m for I think 800 exc VAT.
There was also a dual 7970m M18x r2.
3 or 4 m17x r4's with 675m have also gone in the last few minutes.

Its just too slow. Possibly my work laptop or the work network.
Gonna have to go wireless next week for quicker speeds.

See if I can beat the script kids.

Obviously they are not for everyone, i always loved the look of them, same as the previous versions, beefy and you can customise the colour to your liking.

For a grand or about with a 7970 and 16gb of ram is fantastic value though, no matter the chassis.
