The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    New product thread is dead, but how do you explain this?

    Hey guys, I would post this in the "New product, but what?" thread but the mods closed it. If you go to configure the any of the laptops (was the M11x always just black?), you no longer have any choice of what color you would like. They are all just the "Cosmic Black". Hmmmm, sounds like someone is getting ready for a refresh?

    M11x
    M15x
    M17x

    That's definitely odd.

    Mmmmmmhmmmmm just what I was thinking... And it happened right around 12 when they update their site. Something tells me they're just selling off the stock now to open up room for the r3's of each model.

    I hate to burst bubbles, but the color config's are still there- at least for the M15X-

    Notice where it's located: Under the Personalization Tab.

    Yeah the color choices are located further into the customization of the systems. They reworked their configurator like a week ago
