    In honor of my beloved M11x being for sale, I tried to take some good pictures to entice the people of eBay into buying it. Enjoy.

    Nice juxtaposition of the first and second images. The screen-bezel border in the second picture looks like it could be the edge of the table in the first one. It'd be a pretty nifty table with that color scheme, too.

    Looks like you can find it here for anyone looking to buy it. I don't have any mobile gaming needs at the moment, unfortunately, so someone else will have to be the buyer.

    I always like the styling of these older alienwares over the new ones, must be living the stereotype that men love lots of shiny lights. :rolleyes:

    Good luck selling it! Looks mint as hell.

    I will never sell my r1s just for the reason that they are too pretty :)
    Give me semi gloss over soft touch!

    I know what you mean! It's just been sitting though. It's no good for video editing and I decided pc gaming isn't for me. Thanks again for all your help though!

    Thanks! It did. Sold for $345 after just a few hours. Crazy that they are still worth so much. Also, you helped me get the hinge and lcd replaced recently so thanks for that!

    I still plan on picking up two more R1/R2's for the kids. They have slowly been working there way up from there original laptops. I think it's time for something with a much better video card in it. That is starting to hold them back.

    Outside of a reduced battery, my 4yr+ M11xR1 is still doing everything I bought it for.
    I wouldn't even think of selling it.... until someone puts a GPU into a ~12"(less than 30cm wide) broadwell chipset notebook.
