    Since I've already purchased my m11x and I'm just waiting for it in the mail, I wanted to share with everyone my experience, but I'm going to summarize it... my fingers ache from typing :(

    My configuration was originally around ~1400 on the normal alienware website.

    But after finding this amazing link for ~215 off, I was floored. ( Deal link here!). I haggled my way down to an additional ~170-180 off, AND got free 7 day shipping.

    I tried to get better free shipping, but to no avail, not wasting anytime I quickly snagged my NOW ~1000 device. :)

    Today I called to check up ont he status of my order and said thta I had a business trip coming up and that I'd really appreciate it if they could help me out. The nice man on the phone offered free NBD shipping.

    So tada! I saved an additional $80 (NBD shipping = 80).

    Be aware, this is an EPP offer only. You must be a member of Dell's EPP program offered by your employer, school, organization. See forum rules concerning EPP posts... Thanks.

    good luck, I ordered an R2 i7 epp deal on 6/28, and I've had my estimated date pushed 3 times. Now they are saying delivered by 7/20.
