    How many Canadians own m17xs?

    Why does it not come with the nameplate?

    What warranty did you get? Did you get complete care?

    How was you experience with Dell?

    What is the best bang for buck config for it?

    Thanks.

    He meant what about the other questions....
    Neither, I , nor Butter, Nor Moo live in canada, and none of us currently "have in their possession" an M17x as of yet, although butter and Moo have theirs on order.

    I recommend a plane through their HQ, more dramatic.

    Besides maybe after that they'll start giving us some Canadian Love :D

    Ok good a Canadian thread. Well I have ordered mine on the 3rd of June, and had an EDD of 07/03. Well about 5 days before I got a letter saying there was an internal server error and my order had to go through the whole process once again. My new EDD is the 17th, but I am having some really big doubts it will get here by that date and I will be postponed another 2 weeks. This sucks really bad, as my old computer has now been broken (power supply is screwed) and I have no computer except for this one that I am on which is a friends... Anyways I am rambling on, but in short Canadians don't get your hopes up because Dell is pretty much doing the same thing to us as they are to Europe.

    I was in similar situation, but I just sold my G50VT to my buddy @ work. All I did is bought HP Netbook from Costco with 90 day return policy :) That is enough time to have m17x built and shipped to Canada, at least I can hope so.
