    Default M18x Is Real!
    Just got an email 45 seconds ago from a Dell Tech I have been speaking with;

    I’m really sorry about this, but it seems to be that due to issues with Intel’s latest chipset it was not possible to fulfill the requests for M17x R3 or Aurora R3 units. However, if you may be interested, we still have the M17x R2 available. Also we are preparing for deployment of the M18x R1 very soon. Would you be interested in any of them, please let me know. Thank you.

    Edit -
    I told him I want one, he just got back to me with this when I asked for info on them;

    Actually they are right now in projection status, but we expect that within the following 2 or 3 months we may have these units ready for marketing deployment

    Had enough of these rumor threads... verfiable source or its nothing but rumor and speculation.

    The last speculation thread spiraled into an off-topic free-for-all. Sorry. Not going to happen.
