    My sentiments exactly... Shank your cash and make you watch the USA get deals on laptops that are already deal prices when converted to ££'s.

    Using the 15% offer for US and the gaming deal of the week for the UK with these specs,

    i7-840QM (To get same processor due to gaming deal limitations)
    Crossfire 5870
    1TB 7200rpm RAID 0
    1920x1200p RGBLED
    4GB RAM
    Intel 6300 wifi

    UK Price with delivery - £2399.01 - $3850.05
    US Price with free delivery (without tax) - £1712.53 - $2748.90
    US price as above assuming you live in NYC - £1864.42 - $2992.87

    US saves £534.59 or $857.18

    Did this out of interest for the hell of it... used XE to convert so doesn't reflect actual conversion if you bought the currency just the spot exchange. Makes me laugh though the US system would have better wifi and a better CPU than my potential rig and yet be cheaper! My rig with an i7-620 would be like £1923.49 incl delivery, sick really considering mine includes EPP as well lol!

    If anyone wanted to see an example then there you go! Also can't say it's not very fair as that's with the UK gaming deal that we get offered haha. :)
    UK Alienware deals - here.

    Does the 15% mean a new M15x is right around the corner? Maybe I should invest in that buy back program....sell in a year.
