    I've never ordered an Alienware before, but I am about to purchase a nice new M17x, anyways, I cannot find an est. ship date anywhere!

    From past experience from past customers, how long will it take to arrive?

    Thanks for any advice?

    I mean I can, I just don't want to ;)

    But on a more serious note, I do need a new computer with more power very soon. I do a lot of rendering which can be pretty intensive on the hardware, so the sooner I get this the better.

    It was just put on market today, and unless they received shipping dates from Dell, no one knows. Just wait like everyone else.

    I have ordered the machine, nearly the moment after it came out. Also i have received an ETA for delivery that is July 7th. I have called dell also about it, they said they will ship 3rd week or June most likely. Hopefully this helps.

    EDIT: Just went onto dell site and it says Estimated Delivery Date : July 1st
    Nice..earlier.

    I see I see, well, from what I have seen the AllPowerful and the M17 are basically the same, minus the graphics card and the chassis, so I might have to go with the M17 for time purposes :(

    Still can't decide, I have about 12 hours left before I have decided I need to make a decision.

    Hmmmm, any advice anyone?

    And thank you Clauss for the info

    I haven't followed your posts, so I'm sorry to ask if you've answered this before, but what's your rush? I would say that if you have the money, get the m17x. But that's my personal opinion.
