Alienware m18x or m17x r4?

alienwisher · 5 Aug 2013 at 10:56

Yeah, there was another one on Friday with 680M and was scratch and dent. Think it was over £1200. It had Blu-Ray and a few extras but seems the prices on the outlet aren't actually decreasing on the R4, despite the new model being out a month. Don't think there have been any R5's yet, though I've not been checking in everyday.

They are called AW 17 ,18 etc R5 does not exist anymore

saw three r4s come on line at 2:19 pm yesterday and the best of the lot was gone before I even had a chance to hit the option to select it, came with a 7970 at 768gbp ex vat couldn't even click on it before it showed up as error no longer available, what tools are these snipers using to get them so quickly??

heh you need to master clicking

managed in the past to grab few of them so its possible. You literally have to hit refresh when they are not in stock, then after refresh they are and quickly add to basket+captcha. If you try often to read the spec its to late

Wow thanks going to have to be quick of the draw but how do you add so many to the basket? Don't you have too go back to add each one and that takes time?

Been checking in most days mate and still not seen any of the new Alienware's or XPS 12's (may get one of those as they look to be really good machines). Saw a nice cheap system with 7970 the other day but didn't get there in time. :mad:

Adam, sorry to hear about your ordeal. That really sucks!

Damn, didn't even see that machine. Did you release it mate?

tereu5 · 14 Aug 2013 at 16:52

ATM as I said grabbing them just for fun - problem would be when I really need o buy one.
For 1 where wont be any in weeks and 2nd I would always be to slow to get a good one heh ....

Teknobry · 14 Aug 2013 at 19:51

Is there still VAT to pay on that price?
