    I tried looking around but wasn't able to find a topic on this:

    Do Dell Outlet retail stores typically carry Alienware machines? I'm in need of an Alienware 14, and wasn't sure if I could pick one up at a retail store or if I had to wait the 2-3 days for Amazon Prime to buy a pre-built config online.

    Good point - after posting this I found out Dell shuttered it's retail outlets early last year.

    Oh well - next day shipping on Amazon was only eight bucks! :)

    I have seen Futureshop here in Canada sell alienware laptops and I was gonna see if i could grab an alienware 17 but it came with a 770m though i really wanted the 780m so i ordered straight from alienware and i managed to find a decent discount of $150 too,

    You can also haggle over the phone but check out the returns policy on online orders basically.
