    Is there any way to order the new laptop from Alienware UK to Europe? The UK prices are really lower than rest of the Europe.

    When I get to purshase adress the website assume that I am in UK.

    AW will price match if you contact them directly; you can also haggle for a lower price if you don't mind taking the time.

    They offered *time-limited* 10% discount on Monday in EU, but they offer 12% today. And I am surprised that they do not have price match here.

    I ordered with the 10%, it should arrive next week. The question is, do you have the right to claim the additional 2%.

    so for the discounts, do you just ask for them or do you ask anything specific? planning to get the A15 and any help in keeping the price down would help. Also, do I have to take a support option to help get a discount or can i get it without it.

    They do not have chat in the Netherlands. In German, when there is global 10% discount, you can get only 5% from CHAT

    New 120hz screens are up for both 15 and 17 models. Anyone knows anything about those TN+WVA screens? How are they for day to day work, not gaming?

    Just saw the 1440p/120hz screen option and had to do deep breathing exercises to not do the guinea pig purchase ... LOL ... hurts but I'm going to have to white knuckle it and wait from some in depth temp analysis' ... can't find anymore laptops with 17" 1440p screens, though and so hope the reviews for the AW17 are good ...

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooo. They screwed up the configurations. They got rid of the A15 with the 6820hk, 8gb ram, IPS FHD and no SSD!

    Configuration is a bit weird but it looks like the 120hz panel is a $300 addition.

    This is odd, you can't get the i7-6820HK with the gsync version on the 15''. Quick question, how important is the 6820 vs the 6700 ?

    Dammit we need an official statement of sorts on this. I'm not going to overclock so I'm fine with the 6700 but I would still prefer the 6820 for better future proofing.

    Its annoying. They only see the configurations on the website and don't consider past or more custom configurations. You ask them for a config that was there a few hours ago and they are clueless.
    I was looking for:
    i7 6820hk
    8gb ram
    no ssd
    gtx 1070m
    killer 1535

    Couldn't get that config from them. It was there just 12 hours ago! I was looking to buy it now. But now I am stuck waiting until they reset the configurations.

    It's likely a config to get inventory moving at a quick rate. The G-Sync option should be a configurable option like the near future, but for now, Alienware wants to get some G-Sync laptops shipped as fast as possible.
    Why they chose the i7-6700HQ over the i7-6820HK, I don't know. Also keep in mind the GTX 1060 should work with the G-Sync display too.

    Why does Dell have to make everything so dang difficult and restrictive? It's like they hate people's business.

    Even a stock 1070 will be bottlenecked by the 6700HQ.
