    Well, noticed this was around awhile ago but people were claiming it was dead, if you go to this link, downgrade from the 500GB HD to the 320GB HD and use the $50 off coupon below you can still pick up a rather nice M11x for $699 with free standard shipping! Cheers! :D

    I think it's dead.

    After downgrading the hard drive and entering the coupon, I'm getting 849$.

    AW deals go so fast! :p

    That's going to take soooo long.

    Even if you buy an R1/R2 NOW guys, it still has incredible MacBook-like resell value on ebay, so if you need something NOW ;)

    Voodoo you are just saying that because your first m11x is on the way and you haven't seen the issues of the m11x (no offense). But to be honest, March is just 1 week away and for people that can stay a lil bit patient can wait for the new redesign hinge and possibly r3 so I would say just hold on to your hard earned money unless of course you have no laptop and you really need it now then I recommend Voodooi advice.

    I had no laptop and needed a new one, and this seemed like a great price. If the R3 comes out I couldn't care less, very happy with the machine I'll be getting soon :)
