    Hello,

    I'm seeking for informations about buying Alienware in Slovenia as we don't have neither Dell online nor normal store. We only have 2-3 importers which are tough to bargain with. I am thinking about buying Alienware m17x or m18x with following configuration:


    Alienware M18x : Stealth Black
    Processor : Intel Core i7 Processor 2720QM (2.20Ghz, 6MB, 4C)
    Display : 18.4in Widescreen Full High Definition (1920X1080) WLED LCD
    Camera : Integrated 3.0 Mega Pixel HD Camera
    Resource DVD : Alienware M18x
    Ship Accessory : English Docs
    Memory : 8GB(4X2GB)1333MHz DDR3 Dual Channel
    Hard Drive : 256GB Dell Mobility Solid State Drive
    Optical Drive : 8X DVD+/-RW Drive including software
    Power Supply : Alienware 330W AC Adapter
    Power Cord : Euro 250V
    Battery : Primary 12-cell 97W/HR LI-ION
    Carry Case : Not Included
    Graphics : Dual 2GB GDDR5 AMD Radeon HD 6990M CrossFireX
    Sound Card : Integrated High-Definition 5.1 Performance Audio Powered by Klipsch
    Bluetooth : European Dell Wireless 375 Bluetooth Card
    Wireless : Europe Killer Wireless-N 1103
    Keyboard : Internal US/International QWERTY Keyboard
    Operating System : English Genuine Windows 7 SP1 Home Premium (64 BIT)
    Software : Datasafe Local 2.0 Basic
    Software : Dell Stage E-MAGAZINE Software
    Software : Dell Stage Software
    Avatar : Alienhead 3D
    AutoMatic Updates : AutoMatic updates - On
    Antivirus : McAfee Emerging Market / 1DD - PROMO 15mo Subscription
    Hub countries only - Carry In Service 3Y Warranty
    1 Keyboard : US Euro Alienware Enhanced Gaming Keyboard (KIT)
    1 Mice : Alienware TactX Mouse

    The price, which I got from one of these importers is 3600€. That is ridiculous if you ask me as when i was reading through these forums, some were able to negotiate to get more than 25-30% off, especially in US (the price for same config there is 3300$ - and someone got it for 2500 after some talking with Dell's reps).
    I am asking you now, if you could help me get the best price within EU as the importer said that he will only ask Dell for better price if I link him proof that someone is able to offer it for so less.
    If you need any additional information I will be willing to answer, otherwise I seek for your help. Thanks in advance :)

    I'm from Belgium and bought mine here with a 10% discount.
    I had to beg for it though. The EU is soooo much more expensive, it's just not fair.
