The Alienware "Secret Message" - Reveals new notebook names *SPOILER*

http://translate.google.com/transla...1-m15x-et-m17x/&langpair=fr|en&hl=en&ie=UTF-8

Wow though,

Side graphics card, you can choose the recent Geforce 8700M GT 512 MB and the new top-notch graphics card from Nvidia, the Geforce 8800M GTX 512 MB (+ 500 dollars).

Hope thats a mis-print. $500 extra is a large chunk-o-cash. So SLI 8800's would be like $750? $1000? Convert that to pounds and thats £250 for the 8800 over an 8700.. fair enough. £500 for SLI. Ok... but thats a direct conversion..

 

well as far as i remember mate i think its $500 for the sli 8800's. but the top o the line config tht i got is supposed to chuck out an easy $6000+. which makes 3000 pounds...n thts a whole lot o money...int'l shipping everything included

 

The prices on the sample pages were pretty high, no doubt, but also keep in mind that they may not be the final prices. The notebooks don't officially launch until the 19th and you can bet that AW will be watching their competitor's prices between now and then. I would also suspect to see a huge price drop on the m9750 as well.

 

Also keep in mine that SAGER/CLEVO (NP9261) will probably support the 8800 as well. I will supposed that since they just came out with a new release of there motherboard. For me it would not make any sense to have a third mother board rev. that supports the 8800.

 

most likely dell has struck another exclusive deal with nvidia to offer the 8800m only to them and alienware for a month or two, like they did with the geforce 6800 ultra when that came out.

 

well i hope so mate cuz it simply seems pointless spending 6 grand for a lappy whereas u can get a real kick a** alx desktop machine for almost the same price

 

To get back on topic...........................................................................

SECRET MESSAGE BELOW





























DENIALS AND COVER-UPS WILL PROVE FUTILE ONLY WHEN EACH AND EVERY PERSON CAN HOLD THE EVIDENCE IN THEIR HANDS. SEEK OUT THE AREA-51 M15X AND AREA-51 M17X.

-Have fun!

 

GAAAAAAH htis is going to drive me insane!!!! WHAT DO I CHOOSE!?!?!?! M9750?M17x?M15x? grrrrrrrrr... stupid new freakin laptops... are they gonna scrap the m9750? could someone find out before i foam at the mouth...

 

Wait six days and you will have a better idea. Relax. Alienware has not caused Rabies outbreaks previously, have they?

 

i hope not... or else im as good as brain dead. I seriously hope they dont scrap the m9750 because i have to wait till december to order my laptop since i have budget and bill issues. If the new laptops come out and theyre crappier and higher priced then the m9750 and htey scrap it im completely F@#$%d

 

hmm? People still bought the mALX, buys the Voodoo, falcon NW, etc etc.

 

i think they might still offer the m9750 but make the m17x as their flagship high(er) end notebook since i think they said it will have up to dual 8800m....i just hope they release another mALX so i can go buy one...

 

well in my opinion i dont think its worth it to buy a laptop for this price....obviously every1 has got their own preferences

 

First post, last post

I built a M17 when the link was up.

I was called today and all I will say is...

It's going to be a early Christmas !!

 

////
what?...

 

Probably just looking for attention.

Those configurators did not work yet.

 

shortened due to wasted space

 

Why remove the pricing?

 

already got the decoded message today it says the new notebook gonna come out. Alienware is preping for 8800GTX or something very spooky.

EDIT: nvm somebody already revealed it.

 

why remove the pricing? what is your eta on this?

 

..........

 

So will the laptops be available on Monday or are they just revealing it for a preorder or something?

 

have fun, it will take alienware 2 years to ship one to you after you order it, notebook sounds cool, and it has many people thinking it will be a desktop GTX slimmed down for notebooks, good marketing there huh?

 

This is googles cache of the configurator - I stopped at $5916 - but the smart bay drive seems to cost $0 whatever you select so real price was probably $6200!!!

Yeah messing around with the configurator hurts so much, I can hear my wallet screaming in the other room.

 

What do you mean "That is all I can say"? You under a gag order or something? Presumably if you were,you've already blown that already. I have to call shenanigans on this one.

 

Sounds reasonable. I'll report back in two years once I receive it and let you know.

 

not to burst your bubble but your order has not been placed if they did not give you a price and eta. sounds like your order will be placed on opening day, like all others.

 

I have a price, no need to have my bubble burst. I didn't post it here since I was asked not too BY ALIENWARE!

Why are people so fickle about this? I was dumb/smart enough to place an order, it went through, they called me and placed the order as a pending order and that's how it goes. I was also asked not to discuss pricing as it may change so I'm not. I never did say I was first, or last, or special. If anything, a few people here might have a personality disorder, not me.

I was adding to the hype by posting here, FOR FUN and trying to keep things anonymous to prevent any repercussions !! and to let folks know its a real deal when it might be speculation. I never meant to offend anyone.

I'll be moving along now and posting under my daily screenie.

 

So...you were "asked" by Alienware not to discuss it but yet you did anyway by posting here under a "different" screen name as if Alienware would know what your "real" screen name is and as if having called you and "asked" you not to post here, they could not figure out by your "pre-order" who you are. Sorry, your own story just doesn't make sense. We might not know who you are but Alienware certainly would be able to figure it out based on what you've posted here. If you had really been able to place an order and were worried by "repercussions" you would not have posted what you did to begin with.

 

Read it again. "Pricing" "Pricing" "Pricing"

Do not discuss.

Simple.

 

Oh moderator...... Don't the forum rules include something about not creating more then one account???

And could someone trace that IP and find out who it is.


Yes, You must be very fearful of persons in dark alien-suits raiding your home, dragging you away at the point of an AK-47 (or space laser) and torturing you if you reveal the sacred pricing plan....

 

Yea dude, your being ridiculous. You should probably stop lying to all of us, because none of us really want to hear it. Someone trace down that IP so we can see who it is.

 

Am I in the teen forum? LOL

Trace it, track it, find it.

I NEVER meant any harm nor foul here. This is ludicrous

Okay, I now accept my permanent ban.

Have a good one!

 

Let the flame war begin:

Would it not be a child who would lie about getting a new product early, or go psycho paranoid about the price????

 

Better yet, by me leaving I hope this thread can convert back to it's original discussion. Flame away, and if by some rare chance I receive one early, I'll post some shots of it in my black Alien mask, har !

 

Why do you keep saying you're leaving and then keep coming back? Its clear you aren't convincing anyone so why not just call it a day and go ask mom if you can can have an advance on your allowance.

 

Very clear. Mom would be my boss/wife in this case.

 

lol well it cud b a possibility that since u tried to b a smart a** u get charged for it more cuz who knows as AW said the pricing isnt confirmed and if they plan to reduce the price on their new line u still get charged for more...i dunno if that even made any sense btw

 

It made perfect sense and so far, it was the most logical posts I have read dating a few pages back. They didn't charge me.

 

Add yet to that last sentence.

I don't appreciate the remark on the logic of my thinking and writing.

Also, excellent remark on the "bad penny" attitude the "secretsanta" has assumed. You are giving never ending turn signals a good name.

Back on topic:

I recieved an email from alienware insider today stating

"Seek out the Area 51 m15x and Area 51 m17x on November 19th."

So now alienware acknowledges the existence of these machines. (That sounds like something out of a NASA or CIA report, don't you think?)

 

I don't appreciate being called a liar. If anything the "Bad Penny" showed up after my first post. Tip: Google "recieved" it will spkell checker for ya.

Back on topic:

Excellent, at least they have been acknowledged so those with cash can pick one up.

Anyone opting for the SLI configuration?

 

mj, are you planning to purchase? If so, are you configuring for an SLI configuration?




That would be "Haw" to turn left, not "Ya"

 

are you guys seriously making fun of each other for mis-typing words? And to think my impression of the computer community was mature... either way has any body found out if the m17x is gonna be replacing the m9750?

 

I wish I knew if they were replacing it or not. As for the word exchange, I am not taking too much of this seriously. Life be to short.

If they offered the 8800 series in the 9750, then that would be an attractive offering with an expected price drop.

 

I'm not buying a new laptop yet (Only got my m9750 a few months ago), unless alienware really ups the trade in program or offers exchanges of some form. (Which they won't)

If they do offer the 8800 for the m9750, I will definitely consider it.

 

Hi,

Interesting to see all the back and forth re these new cards. Just for interest another company, a reseller of clevo has announced the 8800GTX.(PCmicroworks)

So one can assume that its not far away as they talk about mid December delivery.

 

Alienware is probably a launch partner for the cards, so they'll probably have them first. Thus the huge fanfare and hype for the new laptops -vs- a regular launch.

 

I saw that on Engadget as well - they are also offering Quad Core - hate to think what the battery life would be, I remember having a laptop with a desktop p150, barely got 45minutes out of it from new.

 

Ordering an SLI 8800 GTX m17x on Monday when they become available. Ripley Green!
