    I'm living in the UK and, even though all the problems the M15x has been having, I'm still very eager to order the laptop!
    Just a quick question for the owners...
    Has anyone ordered over the phone? Did you manage to get any special discount like that?
    Cheers,
    M

    I got the Alien Respawn thing free ($50 value).

    Then I cancelled my order.

    Just a note on the respawn. I would not really recommend u get the respawn. There is a slight security loop hole. Someone can access your m15x by using repawn to bypass windows logon screen. All they need to do is press F10 and it will reboot into windows with all your data intact.

    Yes taking an image with Acronis True Image, for example, at the moment you recieve your laptop (before installing anything) can act as a recovery disk...
