    Hi guys, somewhat of a strange request, but does anyone know where I can find a brand new M17X R4?

    I have always loved the design of the M17X however was never financially able to afford one. Fortunately I am in a position now.

    I already have the Alienware 17 R4 but would love to get the older model for nostalgic reasons.

    I have seen a few for sale, however not in the condition I'm looking for. (Brand new)

    (Yes I know I will be wasting money on old tech, but the heart wants what the heart wants)

    I'm based in Australia but don't mind buying from a reputable international source.

    Unlikely.....these went out of production 4 years ago.

    Yeah thats what I figured. Was hoping someone still had old stock lying around or someone bought one but never used it for whatever crazy reason.

    If found an M18x R2 in the NBR Marketplace that was absolutely flawless. There was not a scratch or mar on it anywhere. This might be your best bet. Many people here treat their laptops better than family. :D

    Seems like that might be my only option. I guess I'm one of those guys that like to keep my stuff looking brand new.

    I bought a new palmrest for each of the four M15x machines I have purchased. It does make a huge difference in the appearance. :D
