    I have been seriously considering an m15x and have been procrastinating on pulling the trigger, so far it seems to have played off. The price of it as well as other older models have been plummeting, it’s now starting at $1100, when I started looking at it not too long ago they had already dropped the price down from something like $1700. Aggressive price slashing is sometimes a good indicator of getting rid of stock and a new model arriving.

    So in lies my dilemma, wait around for a new 15” model or pick up an m15x for less than 2K. Also I’m wondering what more could be added to the 15” factor. Are they going to try and wedge a quad core processor in there, what more could be offered gpu wise? Decisions decisions.

    I actually think the reason the price is so low, is to be competitive. Ever since Dell took over, they have dropped theire prices to a much more competitive level...
