    Just noticed that AAFES has a 22% discount on dell/Alienware laptops, including the new M14X. The discount is only 2% more than the 20% they just had, but 2% is 2%.

    Here are the specs to the base model m14x:

    Price $935.22
    Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium
    Intel® Core™ i7 2630QM 2.0GHz (2.9GHz w/Turbo Boost, 6MB Cache)
    4GB Dual Channel DDR3 at 1600MHz
    14.0" High Def (720p/1366x768) with WLED backlight
    1.5GB DDR3 NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 555M using NVIDIA Optimus™ technology
    500GB 7200RPM SATA 3Gb/s
    8x SuperMulti DVD±R/RW Slot Load Optical Drive
    1 Year Basic Plan


    X294ss1 gets you another $10 off.
    With AAFES there is no shipping or tax too!

    If you don't know what AAFES is then you aren't going to be able to use it. It is for military and defense employes.

    Also remember if you're the child of someone in(or retired from) the military, you can use this too.

    Service members in other countries generally get 2-3%, which is pitiful compared to the US military :p
