    Are there any stores in CA which has a display of the Alienwares? I want to get one online but want to have a physical look at it before making a decision.

    The Best Buy I work at doesn't have any Alienwares sadly., otherwise I would definately be looking in to the R3 more :p Not that I need it. Would be nice to toy with them though.

    Yeah, the Fry's are odd, here in Atlanta they "only" have the M15x-R2, while Microcenter has only the M11x-R1.... go figure.

    I checked both Fry's and BestBuy in the Bay area yesterday and both don't have any alienwares. Any specific stores you can recommend?

    I finally found an Alienware M15x on display in Sunnyvale Fry's. I'm still hunting to see an M11x on display before I proceed to buy it.

    Bestbuy in Duarte, CA and Pasadena, CA have m11x on display, and Frys in City of Industry, CA has the m15x on display (if I remember correctly). If you're in norcal or elsewhere, sorry. But hopefully this info will be useful to SoCal ppl :)
