    Is AW going to offer the XM processor in ANY of the laptops? Are they saving it for the M18x? Surprised it's not offered on the M17X yet...

    This has been asked before in both the 17x and 18x areas - please post follow-up q's in the relevant subforum. This was also the case when the 17xR2 was first released. The Extreme CPU was not available until after launch...

    Give it time. Eventually we'll see it added.
