    I just ordered one, confirmed Fast Track with phone rep and should be here Wednesday. I was debating the i5 or i7 , this kinda made up my mind for me as all other specs were the same... :D

    FastTrack only for i5. Here is the full spec.
    I think it's a bit expensive. Dell usually charge premium for harddrive. I guess if that's what you want and don't care about name plate, then it should be okay. The coupon should works the same also(I'm guessing).

    It worked. 844(before tax) with all the discounts. Not bad.

    It's cheaper than the SU7300 model that best buy is selling.

    This topic has already been discussed in detail in other thread, I guess you just doesn't want to dig into over 50 pages of M11xR2 discussion.

    Got one for $728 after 21% discount and $100 off, after tax and shipping it was $800. The dude only said he could put on ground shipping and not next day which was annoying, where does dell ship this systems from? I live in Florida so I was wondering if ground shipping if it is shipped out tomorrow (fast track says they usually ship out next business day) if I could recieve this week :)

    How do you get a 21% discount and $100 off?
    That would help a lot.

    Discussing it here isn't a good idea. It's not 100% legitimate, and you're effectively defrauding the company by trying to get it.

    The 21% is basically an EPP discount. And it's offered to employee of certain company that have a deal with Dell. Say company XXX buy/lease large amount of computer from Dell, so in return Dell give discount to the company XXX's employee. Even w/o the EPP discount, there usually will be $50-$100 coupon discount from time to time anyway. But yes, 21% is very rare, and even most EPP legitimate members only get around 10%.

    21% was Boeing employee, family friends and retirees discount (or something along those lines) that was floating around the forums in the form of a coupon code :D Boeing discount is usually 16% btw, so if you can know someone working there you should get it through that person.

    I really hope you or a family member work for Boeing... it was easy enough ordering online with Boeing's discount but now to call in to get it sucks, I don't prefer that method. And I'm a legit family member..

    yeah it's currently 16% normally which I have a coupon for. There's a coupon for 21% also I think expires tomorrow. There was a Christmas 21% off coupon that may not have expired yet either, I used this back in February when I ordered my M11x. But none are listed on the Boeing EPP, I just saved them.

    I ordered mine yesterday and it was sent yesterday , received my shipment notification from Dell. My Fedex info shows my unit was shipped from TN. I was bummed to see that it was ground shipping and not Next Day which I requested ...Oh well will still have it in a couple days, just not today.

    If its only ground shipping for this unit not exactly a true Fast Track 48hr in hand deal.....Still happy to have the unit this week and not in mid July...TN. to Florida, you should have it this week also , congrats...

    That coupon was for Boeing employees, contractors & family, but was removed due to abuse.
