    Finally ordered my m17x to take my games outside. I see it is coming with ther 150w adapter and I have hard time believing it will run 920xm and xfire gpu. Do I have to ask Dell to send me the 240w? I have a similar experience with my XPS 1645 in which they replaced my 90w with the 130w.

    If you have crossfire (x2 5870s), its going to ship with the 240. If (and I doubt it), it arrives with a 150, call support ASAP and they will overnight the correct PSU to you.
