    Well, since I live remotely I've decided to buy the M17 as its price was good for me and it has some good specs as well, so I went to Alienware.co.uk as it offers international shipping as well as international warranty(as told by the customer service over there), but the problem is that, when I tried to customize that laptop, the pricing was really, really weird, as it was first about 1650.75 Euros(that was yesterday), now today morning, it was the same price, but in the evening it was priced(same configuration as before) 1671.75, and now at the time of writing this message the price went up to 1707.75 Euros !! :eek:

    Does anybody know wth is going on with their site ? and am already getting the starting price in their notebook comparison about 1,095 Euros, but when I click the "start customization" button, it jumps off to 1195 Euros...... :(

    Thanks for your help

    Try a different web browser, i've discovered with my firefox for some reason it's about £100 more expensive base but with Internet Explorer it's £100 cheaper. The website is buggy as hell with different browsers ;)

    I asked the same question some months ago as well and the answer is (offical) that the USD/€ or Pound/€ is important^^

    That was one of the reasons why I decided to send my first m17 back and bought a new (different) m17 :)

    Take a closer look for some days and than decide wheather to buy or not ;)

    But it's sometimes like Lotto so don't wait too long :D
