Not bad but I have to point out that this is for the low-end display - this system will only shine with the 1920x1200 display. Also, the fact that it has only a single GPU adds to the question mark of going in via Microsoft.

In any event, thanks for posting.

 

No problem..I wasn't to sure about the specs, but decided to post it anyways and see. : )

Cin...

 

It says 2GB so isn't it crossfire?

 

Well, its either crossfire or a typo... only way to know for sure would be to contact Micro$oft.

Again, you are still dealing with the display factor. If you are content with the 1440 though...

 

I was just wondering because you were saying "it has only a single GPU " and I could see 2 GB.

 

If I dont see Crossfire I'm guessing its not - at least with MS. lol

 

Yeah well who knows. The only way though how it can compete with newegg offer is if it has crossfire setup: Newegg.com -Alienware M17x

 

Alienwares are going on sale like crazy!!!
Alright....where's my R3 lol

 

ahh not bad.. at all !

cleanin out for the R3 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Earlier this year the Microsoft Store offered an obsolete M17x with the same old fashioned CCFL screen for $1199!

Folks, this is not a big deal, unless you're one of the rare few who actually wants a Zune and are willing to pay any price to get it.

 

Dual GPU guys, i bought this bundle... everyone keeps saying i'll really regret it because of the screen, but it doesn't matter since i bought it for the processing power only anyway.

 

how come u did not bought a cheap Clevo if you only wanted for processing power

well..............at least you got ur zune
