    Quite often Ill come across deals on different types of laptops but alot of them are 17 inch models of which ever brand. Taking a look at this deal its an maxed out m17x r2 still in the box. Has any one jumped on a deal like this before and did it make you happy? What it a good buy?

    I bought my M11xR1 on ebay for a pretty decent deal. I saved 200+ but I suggest you also check the buy and sell forum here. I bought my M11xR1 from a member and my friend got an R2 from a member. Both were excellent deals with good warranties and for excellent prices. She paid 1650 and it looked brand new (R2).

    You might also want to look at Dell Outlet. There is a 20% coupon for Outlet right now, which makes it pretty good.
