    Could one of you contact me about a 17x? I can't find my old login info, so now I'm stuck with this.

    Rachid@Dell should be able to get you a quote no problem.


    Hey everyone, just got done going through my morning PM's, thanks for reaching out those who did.

    My team is helping another team over the next 2 days with an urgent project so we will be offline in the US only in terms of getting quotes however we will be back on and are not going anywhere so still feel free to hit me up if you need anything.

    Again this is for the US only and does not include Rachid and his team.

    Thank you guys for your patience and like I said I'm online and happy to help.

    Rev.

    Hello everyone i am new here have been reading for a while now and I have owned an alienware m15x for 2 years now and I am about to upgrade to a m17x r4. I would like to get a quote from one of the dell representatives from dell here but after reading a whole bunch of this forum i do not have any questions that I need help with and i do not believe I have enough knowledge to help anyone out so is there a way to get in contact with a representative without having my 5 posts so i can pm.

    Just finalized my order a little bit ago. The most difficult part was, honestly, getting up to 5 posts so I could send Rev a PM, hah. Got an M18xR2 w/ the 3820, 16 gigs of ram, dual 7970s, killer nic, blu-ray, 512gb ssd, and 3-yr advanced warranty. Stephen (the dell rep with whom I spoke) was awesome. Thanks Stephen and thanks Rev!

    Rev or Rachid, looking to order a machine. If you can email me so we can work out a great deal and help me decide which machine to go too I would appreciate it. I am located in Texas.

    n i z m o z @ g m a i l . c o m

    Thanks!

    LOL I called Dell directly and they said the most they will discount it and it's in their POLICY now is $25 bucks? LOL. Sadly I might be forced to go with Sager instead unless the reps here can do a lot better.

    Haha, don't worry these reps will do much better for you. I talked to Dell Canada directly before finding this thread and the sales rep tried to tell me the same thing about there being a new policy. He told me that all he could do was 2% off the order and IF his manager approved it could take off a whole $15 more LOL. This came out to a whole $60 or $70 off of a $2500 plus machine.

    You will thank god that you found this thread and weren't a poor soul that ordered directly from Dell.

    I have had a bit of an ordeal getting my order completed and shipped but that is not the fault of my sales rep I found through here as far as I can tell.

    Good luck!

    If so would it be cheaper to buy now and upgrade it later
    or should I just upgrade them now?

    You have to have 10 posts to do PMs.

    I think they check the thread here as well, you'll have to wait a bit though - a couple of us are going on a week... :(

    Okay, 4 days now and no quote. Ridiculous. I am about done with Dell and this so called better customer service? Rachid asked me to send it to him, and I did but still nothing.

    You have till Friday to show me something or you lost my business.

    Doh! I ordered a m14xR2 from the Dell Outlet Saturday, and yesterday the coupon for 25% off came out...

    Rev/Rachid, any chance something could be worked out on the order (since it hasn't arrived yet)? Would one of you two be the right people to talk to or is there a better number to call for that type of question in the US?
    Thank you in advance!

    Hey everyone, Hope you are all doing well. As you may have noticed we have had some downtime with the US quotes for the past few weeks. We are restructuring the way we handle the quotes for this thread internally and making it a little more efficient. I know some of you have not received communications from my team because of this and I do want to apologize for the delays. We will be initiating the change on Monday. If you have not received communication from my team and you have PM'd me then please let me know about it. We are going to be using a better way of tracking the quotes internally so that we can keep better track of who has been contacted and taken care of.

    Again, my apologies for the delays and please feel free to reach out to me.

    Thank you for your patience through all of this and let me know if I can help,

    Rev.

    Us dell contacted me by email and basically said they have no discounts on the aw systems and cant give me a discount like everyone said here. So rev and rachids way doesn't work either. What a waste of time. Guess I am buying a Samsung or sager.
