    So i had been having problems with my xps m1530 (dual core, 2.4ghz, nvidia 8600gt) ever since i purchased it around winter 2008.... i finally decided to get angry and had a little chat with a dell rep. :mad:
    They told me that they would replace my system but that it would take 4 weeks. so naturally i was pissed and told them i better get something good. i was expecting a refurbed studio or something.

    2 weeks later, this morning. i woke up to a doorbell and the usps guy handed me a large package. inside was an alienware m15x. :D
    Oh yes, definitely has specs "as good or better" than my pos m1530

    Thank you dell. i do not hate you anymore.

    Nice grab though ;)

    Nice, a AW is surely an upgrade :)

    I think for the business line, they will only do a like for like (latitude for latitude), so once the 4300 is EOL and something else takes its place, you will possibly get that one. However thats if there is nothing in outlet at that time.
