    Hi guys just found this website
    Dell Alienware M17x R2 Professional Gaming Laptop with Core-i Processor and 17" Display #14098 @ NDC
    I can get a m17x r2 I7 with dual 5870 for about £1350 now I can also buy a custom notebook from pcspecialist for about a hundred pound less with a 6990 so I'm not really sure what to do as I like the alienware as it has the backlit keyboard. I also wanted to no what is the dual 5870 like are they much slower than the 6990 and can they be upgraded at a later date and is the alienware a good deal as it is refurbished, I've tried the dell outlet store but they don't respond to my emails plus the Uk site doesn't list gpu details in the m17x thx and hope to hear your replys soon.
