M15X w/ 920XM on bestbuy!?

A few days ago when I was looking at laptops at bestbuybusiness.com (government) I did notice something wierd about the Alienware M15X. In the description it is saying "M15X-242CSB/CI7 920XM/4GB/320/15.6 ALIEN" and the price is $1,667.97.

So if you can buy that configuration for that price, wouldn't it be a really good deal?!

 

wow awesome deal. i would diffinitly get it if i already didn't have one.

 

that be an insane deal but maybe you saw the specs for an alienware desktop instead web page glich but in case its legit dont hesitate buy that sucker that a ridiculous deal

 

Yeah it's one of those things that looks to good to be true you know !

Here is the link, check it out and tell me what you think !

 

I think I cant see the link lol, thats wat I stink.

 

yeah weres this mythical link!

Use it wisely!

 

Excellent find. Wish this was for an M17x. Anyway, who will be the first brave soul to try this out?

 

thats a good deal but since you cant see what else is in it might wanna hold off for a minute.

 

Well, it doesn't really matter what else is there. Only with what we know (320GB HDD, 920XM, 4GB Ram) the price at Dell is:

$2,574 before tax and shipping. That's almost $1000 off.

So, either way, it's a good deal if true.

 

Bookmark it and track the updates. LOL..
that is what I did

 

Yeah it´s a good deal indeed! Asked a guy at best buy, asked him like five times what the configuration was and he directed me to dell.com and stuff, damn he was slow. Didn´t get an answer yet but i will post his answer here.

Don´t know if I´m gonna be the first one, thinking of buying like two and then sell one back in Sweden, would make over 1000USD, that´s a good deal guys!

 

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing, wonder if it's a refurb. Building one of these with the Dell EPP site for the same specs (as far as we can tell), it would be like 2500.

I *bet* that the ad is incorrect, and the 920 really should be a 720, that would put it at about 1674 .... almost the same as the ad.

 

Yeah I agree, the price seems to be way low. But as I said, the guys is going to send be the exact configuration so we just have to wait and see. Would be pretty awesome if it really is the 920 processor in it.

 

well if the ad is incorrect they still have to honor it.

 

watch them correct it now someone brought to there attention lol

 

deltaone45....bestbuy will not honor it if it is incorrect...just go over to slickdeals.net and read some of the stories of things being cancelled.....

 

The other thing is that if you click on details, it says specs are not available yet. In the end they could just say the price is only for basic specs, and with the 920 the price will be so and so...

 

Exactly, was thinking the same thing. I guess we will find out tomorrow if it´s true or not.

 

BINGO!!! That should really end all debate, in the world of the legality of false advertisement and the ability to sue succesfully (which is extremely rare) you'd have to show clear intent to mislead, in here they are not clear with the technical terms and can really play fast and loose....

920 could mean just about anything without specifying what exactly "920" is, in another words no they wont honor this, and no big companies such as BB dont even have written company code stating there is a strict policy to honor an incorrect/false advertisement.

 

Actually it sounds right the m15x might not be around a lot longer

 

Why's that?

 

I unnoticed been 7 months usually something new is announced. Around 10-12 months

 

Seems too good to be true to me. Regardless if a new M15x is coming out, those specs are amazing for that price (for an AW).

 

Don't forget this is not alienware anymore its dell. They can charge cheap prices no problem.

 

What do you think they will replace the M15X with Moo?

 

Another M15x ......

I don't know...it wont be for a while either way

 

Hmm okay. So basically it´s price should decrease and be cheaper in like June? I mean like a more drastic decrease in price

 

I doubt we'll see a new M15x anytime soon, it's too new. Maybe some light spec bumps (come on Radeon 58xx).

 

Might get 5870... all in the air now
...
.

I can easily test since I have both a m15x and 5870 but no paste. ..wink wink

 

Haha why do you have three laptops ?

 

Yeah I don't buy (no pun intended) they would sell 920xm laptops this cheap when the revisions I've heard about too are pretty far away. I'm just gonna call it now misleading advertisement.

Hey even if I'm wrong there lies the upshot, I'll buy one right now if I knew it to be true, even if it only has everything else lower specced including the GPU....

 

They posted the M17x

http://www.bestbuybusiness.com/bbfb...etail&showAddButton=true&productID=BB11042448

 

the M17x doesn't seem to be much of a discount or even lesser than the AW site at all.

 

I am looking at it and I see red flag all over it. They dont know much about the system and such. When you can go to dell and see the spec.

Look at the link and understand it. If it came from bestbuy.com I would go ok

I found this

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Alienwa...ategoryId=pcmcat196200050015&id=1218159405396

Which is a i7 720. we have to look at fact fiction.

 

i wouldn't get my hopes up... as its almost guaranteed a mistake.
a 920xm chip alone goes for about a G-note.
8gb of ram? well thats another 350$ at the cheapest ...
Doesn't make any sense! lol... It would be cool to get away for a system at that price though

 

Where do you see 8gb of ram?

 

i7-720QM

 

Still saying 920XM...

 

Anyone try ordering one yet?

 

This looks way to good to be true.
How can i sign up for a BB business account?
*Edit*
Just seen you actually have to own a business to open an account. Bummer.
So how can you order one?
