    You can "make it work" in Canada.

    There's mail holding facilities at every border crossing.

    For example, here in Ontario, there's CBI USA, which is located 5 minutes into the US from the Niagara Falls access point bridge. You have it shipped there, pay 7.50$ for holding and voila, a laptop at the US price.

    If I go with the M11R3, I will be doing this. I already did this successfully with the M11R1 for 549 (incl coupon) many, many months ago :)

    well I dont live close enough too the border too justify the driving costs, I was going too use bongo, but I ended up getting it off the canadian site the second after release while most the upgrades read as $0.00 so I still got a pretty good deal :p

    Coupons are great provided you got the $$$ to pay off the machine quickly. Reason is the coupon(s) normally gets you below the qualified amount for 0% financing for 12 months. So depends on your budget you could actually come out ahead customizing it with dells advertised special without the coupon and still qualify for the 12 months 0% financing. If you go the coupon route I'm almost certain you won't qualify unless you offset the price to go up with some cool upgrades etc. Something to think about if you strapped for $$$.

    My mind was set on the M14X, but now that we have this coupon for the M11R3 you can literally deck it out for under 1300$ before tax and that's including the 3 year warranty.

    This is soooo tempting I just can't make up my mind.

    Godly/decked out M11XR3 with 3 year warranty
    or
    Average M14X (+screen/wireless) with 1 year warranty, which comes out to more $

    Yes you can, there is a company or private people, that you tell to Dell for example where to send the laptop, and then you pay for that company or private company like 50$+ to send it to you.

    No problem :)

    Yea, M14X is over price! Too much cash...
    but M11x really worth it with the coupons :)

    Are there any coupons for the M14X?

    btw, i don't see the battery options for the M11X at the Dell website, why do they hide that info?.

    The battery life can be 13 hours if you turn of the wifi and when you down the brightness.


    and the -50$ off works on m14x

    I'll also be doing something like this. I'm too impatient for slow/crappy shipping ;)

    A word of caution for those of you with existing r3 orders who want to take advantage of the -$9 and -$50 coupons. I just almost lost my r3 order entirely. I called in to try and get them to apply the two new coupons and was told I needed to cancel my existing order and place a new one...so I did. Well guess what? The -$350 code no longer works on the r3. It is now specifically excluded.

    It took almost two hours but a very nice Dell rep finally managed to reinstate my original order. Word to the wise-don't mess with your existing order. :eek:

    Kind of thought that would happen, surprised it did not happen sooner, perhaps it was a oversite on their part

    With the coupon no longer working makes the m11x r3 overpriced at $1400-1500.

    The rep said they discovered too many r3 orders were using the code so they excluded it. Thankfully they got mine fixed.

    Dell has a history of releasing coupons that expire on XX/XX/XX date, but then they'll suddenly invalidate said coupon 3-4 weeks before original expiration date. Actually it's more than a history, it happens every. single. time.
