    Still waiting on my M11x which ships end of this month, but I was wondering if Alienwares come with bloatware that need uninstalling or if I should do a fresh Win7 install? The Asus I have right now came with a load of bloatware and I did a clean Win7 install, just wondering if thats neccessary with the alienwares.

    Alienware generally comes bloat-ware free. :)

    Yeah, aside from a few Dell backup programs the system is bloatware free.

    I'm looking forward to not having to make myself a bloatware free restore disk :)
