    I would say no since Dell/Alienware recently discontinued the 18 inch pc model. Also, I think the AW 18 maybe the m18x r3. Please don't quote me, but I believe I've read some people calling it that.

    simply put...... no.... more 18 inch Alienwares since the muppets at Dell think that the most selling is the 17 inch and is the most popular size for gamers! heh!

    The only other decent and respectable option with SLI is a Clevo. Everything else is junk, with a crappy soldered CPU.

    These are Clevos under a different name, just like iBUYPOWER, XMG, Digital Storm just to name a few.

    Sager, Eurocom, Origin are a few more... all Clevo with someone else's label on the outside. FalconNW is probably the most severely overpriced example, but they do have nice fancy paint jobs.

    Clevo and Falcon are both Clevo so any Brand based on Clevo should have that model. Including RJTECH.
