    Taken from slickdeals:

    Dell Alienware M11x Laptop: Intel Core i5 520UM (1.066 GHz) CPU, 8GB DDR3, 11.6" (1366x768) WLED LCD w/ Webcam, 320GB HD, WiFi N, 1GB GeForce GT 335M, Windows 7 $699 + Free shippin - Slickdeals.net

    Use coupon code: BHW1L0MX0D?MCX
    to get to $699.

    I take no credit for this deal. Just saw it and wanted to pass it along.

    I purchased a m11x refurb yesterday with i5|4GB|250GB for $712 after taxes. Needless to say, I will be returning it. I have purchased a "new" one and it came out to $742 after taxes.

    Nice deal. Not worth the $265 price difference from what I paid for my R1 refurb, but anyone who didn't get a system during the Outlet clearance yesterday would do well to jump on this.

    Actually, I'm rethinking my purchase for an i7 with the same config. Thru EPP I can get it for $870 after using a different coupon. Hmm...

    This is the best deal you could possibly get because you can customize it with the i7 cpu also and still has the $320 discount + $50 coupon making it a total of $370 discount.

    W/O the discount and coupon, configuring a core i7 m11x r2 with 8gb ram, 500gb hd and bluetooth is $1,329

    With the $320 discount + $50 coupon, you can get the same config at 8gb ram, 500gb hd, and bluetooth at $959!!! Sweet Deal


    This is a great great deal for anyone looking to have the best core i7 cpu on an r2 with the highest ram 8gb ram and largest 7200rpm 500gb hd that is brand new under a grand!!

    a forum member recently... Man that FS thread was entertaining.
