    Hi,
    I just thought I'd post comparison pictures of the bottom panels for each laptop. As you can see, there are visible differences in hardware placement.

    As always, these pictures come from Alienware's website.

    At first glance, they're almost identical in appearance. The noticeable differences will be the finger print reader and light up keyboard on the M17.

    The m17 (Arima W840 DI) is 0.17in thicker and has a different postion for the keyboard. That's about it for aesthetics.
