    I have a question about alienware M15x
    why when i check at the www.alienware.com the price is starting at $1000
    but when i check at the www.alienware.com.au the price is about $3000
    why there is so much different?maybe its the currency but it will not until 3 times of it

    different prices for different markets.

    those prices reflect the costs involved in shipping there, as well as any corporate aparatus that may exist and need to be paid for.

    but really the different price reflects the fact that you wonderful people from OZ are willing to pay that price.


    You know how DeBeers diamonds says the proper diamond is 1month salary in some countries, 2 in others, and 3 in yet others? Same principle

    wixz if you are planning to buy the m15x now, don't. Wait for a couple of more weeks =)

    There is a new m15x coming out.
    If you are looking for options, the Clevo W860CU is another contender coming out soon as well (probably, the only contender in terms of performance on a 15'' laptop).

    Rumors and speculation is that a new and improved model of the M15x is about to be announced. You don't want to buy the current model and by waiting miss out on the brand new model, right?

    It's no rumors... There is a new m15x coming out. FACT.
    Just be patient and wait for it to come out...
    In any case, the old m15x is really a bad laptop, full of defects and with a very bad quality. Should be avoided...
