Hi! I'm new hear as you've probably figured out and I'm currently saving for an Area51m(who needs a car when you can just use your parents' and while I was customizing it on the alienware webiste (i do it daily for some reason hehe) it says the 16.1" screen has limited availability, does this mean after a certain date it will no longer be availabe and I'll have to get a 15.4" screen?

This issue actually arose when the lappies were first released as well. What AW is trying to state is that currently there is a shortage of the 16.1 and you may have to wait for a while until they get more in...as always though calling them is my best advice to you...

That's good news... i was worried that by the time I was done saving up that I would have to either get a smaller screen or a 15.4" screen (does anyone else think those things look weird?)

Instead of starting a new thread I decided to post this question in this thread. Can somone explain that System Diagram thing that you can call open while your customizing?

Shows you your "free" slots in the system that is left. Those can be filled with other things. For example in the RAM slot, you'll notice there's 2 slots. If you pick 1012mb RAM, both slots would be filled up by the 512mb cards [x2]. And the same goes for all the other bits. Good for the people with knowledge, because they'll know what is still free and what they can still put inside the system.

thanks to this forum, i was able to see a pic of the 15.4" widescreen. it's a little wierd that i had to go to a third party site to see what the screen looks like. wasn't that impressed w/it although i liked the extra speakers. i ordered 12/18 and changed my order a couple days later to the 16.1" screen. still waiting for it. been on phase 9 according to the order status on alienware's web site since last thursday (1/15). called alienware and they said it'll ship no later than 1/26. i'm sure hope my wait would be worth it.

1/26! thats my birthday... lol! I loved to get an AW laptop on my birthday. If I ordered one I bet all of the sudden seconds would seem like minutes waiting for that thing to come in. At least they tell you what phase they're one hehe
