With purchase of one or more Alienware PC's
Alienware makes some of the best user-configurable laptops around, I need a laptop for school, so I bought one. Unfortunately I couldn't configure the laptop on the U.S site and then order it here, because I could of configured a better laptop for around $2,540... Damn you Dell, damn you to hell.
Everyone please note, I bought this, that means I payed my parents back for my two side monitors and had enough income to purchase this as well.
I'll do an unboxing video for you guys, do you want it live?

And yet you got the shittier of the two upper end ones while not only skimping on the i7 CPU, but also getting the GTX260 over the HD5850. Is the inflation of price due to CAD vs. USD that bad or is there some special item in your laptop that is causing it to skyrocket to over $2700 that I'm missing? That same laptop configured like that costs $2100 here. I don't know about you, but a $600 premium seems like a load of horse shit to me especially for Canadian currency. $2700 gets you an M17x with an HD5870/HD4870 X2 and an i7 quad core CPU. I'd be pretty mad if I were you.
Still, it's a pretty nice laptop. I just wouldn't be able to justify spending almost three grand on a laptop half as good as what a three grand laptop actually is.
It all has to do with the Canadian site, I configured what you did on the U.S. site and was pretty pissed... Had a not-so-nicely worded discussion with a sales rep supervisor on the phone about it. The HD 5850 version in the M15X is the GDDR3 version and not the GDDR5 version so the GTX 260M is basically just as good, plus I'm an Nvidia drivers > ATI drivers fanboy. That and CUDA is great shit.
