    I've seen the m11x at JB Hifi in Australia which was new since I dont usually see Alienware gear in PC Stores, so try a big PC retailler.

    I used http://www.priceusa.com.au/ and imported my m11x to Aus, saved about 250 bucks and could customise what i wanted. The aus site is terrible

    If you're staying a week, you may not even get much benefit by breaking the law. Check into your duty-free allowances. Most nations allow travellers an allowance which can be subtracted from your product's value when clearing customs.

    I hate duty too, but I don't see much benefit in getting your lappy siezed. That's what they do here; one of my co-workers had it happen. Ended up paying the duty, getting a fine, and having it noted on his record. It wasn't worth it, really.

    I am in total agreement, best buy rocks!

    A lot of people do not realize how much tourists depends on Best Buy to get their electronic items from the USA.

    Best Buy really really needs to start selling Alienware.

    Plus, one it hits Best Buy sales should increase undoubtedly.
