    Hi all, I'm thinking of buying the Alienware 17 (The one with the New R9). However its price is around $2300 CAD, I have around $1600 at the moment. Would there be a way to pay the $1600 upfront and pay the rest via monthly payment. I'm in Canada btw. Thanks in advance.

    yes and no. you do financing, then set up payments for like 60-84 months.. where they basically make 2.5x the initial value off you based on interest.... but then you call them up and pay the 1600 ..then only pay interest on the amount left..

    New purchases should have no interest for 12 months. Buy it with a Dell preferred account, then pay 1600 towards your balance, then divide the remaining balance by 12, and pay that amount so you can have it paid off in the 12 month grace period so you don't have t I worry about being charged interest.
