    Hey everyone... I have been reading the forums on notebook review for some time, but this is my first post. Thanks for all the great info I've gathered while lurking so far :)

    I'm very interested in the Alienware M11X for all it encompases in a small form factor. However, as I understand it, the Alienware/Dell M11X is available only for order online? (I could be wrong, but that's my understanding). Anyway, I'm really, really curious about the weight/heft of this thing, seeing the form-factor in person, and playing around with it a bit to test for build-quality. Is there any store where it's being sold or on display, where I could play around with it in person. (I live in Miami, Florida, if that makes a difference). In any event, thanks for any info or advice anyone can give me! :)

    I believe some Best Buy outlets may have some. Not sure which ones.

    Thanks guys, but there is no Microcenter in the state of FL and I don't believe any Best Buy Outlets are near me either :-/

    He means a regular Best Buy store. The first day a local Best Buy location had an M11x r1 on display near me was 3-8-2010, which is when I bought mine. :) I had to make sure it would fit in my motorcycle's tank bag and that was the only way.

    Meet up with someone selling on Craigslist? You could also go to the Alienware headquarters and demand to see it. ;)

    Oooh, that makes a difference -- I should learn to read, lol. I only see the M14X on Best Buy's website, but I could stop by my local BB store and see if they carry the M11X. Any idea how frequent it is that BB will carry the M11X's in-store?

    Haha, I'm not the most threatening person in the world, I think those at Alienware/Dell would just be like "ummm... Move along, please!" :D
