Anyone wonder whether the current "Free SLi Upgrade" offer going on at AW right now is meant to clear out the m9750s before preorders begin for the m17x?

Well I hear that Roor from Notebook review. An inside man from AW had some comments on the new M15x with the 880gtx. I am not sure yet what exactly he meant but hopefully he will expand on it.

that's nice, I'm reading right now. How on Earth did he get his m15x so quickly though??
You m15x owners are in for a big treat!! Reading this makes my mouth water...
And this "mrwater" ordered the config without the 8800m. I wonder how much crazier this thing is with this GPU!!!

Somethings up though...the "Roor" guy doesn't seem too enthusatic about this: He's suppose to be the AW insider man too. Hope that he expands on it too...EDIT: nevermind, near the end he says that "it's a nice notebook. buy one =)."

Because he ordered the mid-range ($2,099) system Those come with the 8700 - not the 8800. AW already had those in stock.

Oh I can't wait to get my hands on that lappy. I have a bunch of testing and review options with videos I am going to do. Hopefully it will make some people happy.

How the hell did they get a GTX in SLI with the M15x. Also see teh penryn processors are in there.

And the ram is a little less then spectacular for the price 5-5-5-15.

That must be a typo, no way you can squeeze another 8800m gtx in there.

It will be nice if they offer the Penryn "Santa Rosa Refresh“ chips
(Intel Core 2 Duo processor T9500 or Intel Core 2 Extreme mobile processor X9000).

http://laptoping.com/intel-core-2-du...eme-x9000.html

"Intel claims “Santa Rosa Refresh” based notebooks deliver HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc support improvement with an optional third party decoder. The chip maker also added new video and graphics capabilities with the Intel HD Boost that includes Intel Streaming SIMD Extensions 4 (SSE4) technology for speeding up workloads including video encoding for high-definition and photo manipulation.

The multimedia experience is additionally enhanced with the Intel TV Wizard, enabling users to easily connect “Santa Rosa Refresh” notebooks to HDTVs.

As same as the last year’s “Santa Rosa” platform, the “Santa Rosa Refresh” uses the 965 Mobile chipset and features Next-Gen Wireless-N technology that supports draft 802.11n Wi-Fi standard."

I'm waiting for the black painted m15x. Once those come out I'm getting one with either a penryn or the cheapest merom I can find.

Did you notice that the base price went up when they offered the "Free" SLI upgrade?

And Scott, the base price has risen. Alienware doesn't want to lose profit.

the m15x is an awesome computer, getting it wouldn't be a mistake netpez, that is, unless you want the 8800gtx in SLI.. But, maybe early Feb, idk. It really depends on when nvidia will release the driver for SLI 8800's.
