Did you see specs or price? Would be interesting to know how much they're going for. There's a couple on eBay but around £2k :eek:

(although they're not refurbs).

ninja2000 · 15 Aug 2013 at 14:37

they were £1200 ish inc VAT but didn't get a chance to see specs

uuuu damn I have gave up refreshing the new once ...and then 1 R4 came :>
Got different error when trying to check the new once (not the outlet site that R3,R4 etc are) just "new type" if I can put this that way ...

Yeah I get that too. It's going to be more difficult to source a new model as we're going to have to look down from all models in the inventory to find the new AW's :rolleyes:

Yep, that's what I mean, it's gonna be nigh-on impossible to get a new one unless Dell Outlet fix the error glitch. Hopefully it'll be working soon :confused:

My R4 is on the MM selling at a small loss after upgrades I added but tbh have no need for it now.

It's been a fun 3 weeks...

alienwisher · 16 Aug 2013 at 14:34

Nice but £995......seriously? Don't you think that's a tad too much considering it's now an older model. It's also weird that there was one I saw with better specs that was cheaper about a month ago. Dell's prices can sometimes be very odd.

tereu5 · 16 Aug 2013 at 15:41

I think they somehow know that it will sell anyway ....
Still looking for the signs of the M17 but nowhere to be seen

They were none of the new models today as that's what I was looking for.

Yeah, agree they can probably put the price of popular models like those with the 7970 at whatever and they'll sell. Looks like that one sold immediately after you removed it from your basket. It's what I'm looking for in terms of spec (7970 and Blu-Ray) but I'm not spending that much. Call me tight, lol. My wait continues.
