Demand the refund first. They can always bill you if you don't return the laptop. Never makes sense you have to return the unit first...

Well after 2 hours on the phone with Dell getting sent all over the place I finally was able to get the a new order put in but still will have to wait another 7 to 14 business days. The only reason that she told me it was cancelled was that they are now replacing the M1730 notebooks with the Alienware but I was already getting an Alienware . She configured the system with me over the phone and I will get the confirmation email shortly, I have new dispatch number.

I would call the last rep back and get him to put the M17x back as your replacement.

So they won't give you an Alienware? How long have you been without a working notebook?

It's a month now.
I can use it, it's only the second card that's defect.
Needs to restart once in a while to get the other one working.
Just SLI isn't possible.
