    Curious, does anyone know what the breakdown by unit type is for the ratio of sale for the different AW lines?

    If the NBR forums are any indicator, the m11x is about the m15x and m17x combined.


    Of course, we could simply be more vocal, or all the nooks and cranies of the m11x are still under exploration :p

    according to this advertisement, the M15x is the top seller.

    It's funny, that is in direct contradiction to what I always hear, that the M15x is poor seller, maybe it is the best after all.

    Well, inap is currently a m15x owner, you are currently a m17x/m11x owner, and I am an m11x owner. Guess where each of our respective answers fall :p

    Not sure I'd interpret it that way much less place any stock in anything stated in an ad.

    I suspect that it goes in order of base price, namely, the cheapest one sells the most units.

    Well the M11X in terms of volume has to be the clear winner simply because they are available at Best Buy which is mainstream and because of the price. There must be quite a few of them out there. The M17X would come second and the M15X third.

    My guess is that it's M11x, M17x, then M15x. Keep in mind that many retailers that actually bother to vend Alienware don't even have the whole lineup...
