    Hi! Sorry for this trivial question, but i'm italian, and when i select the m14x alienware on italian verison of dell.com, i can't find if the model is R2 or R1. I think is R2 (becouse R1 is an older version..isn't it?), but I want to be sure. How can i do it? Is chacking gpu enough? (nvidia 650m = R2 model and nvidia 555m = R1 model ?)

    The R2 will come with the 650m.

    650m, 3 sound jacks, shorter power cable, crappy plain packaging = r2
