Alienware/Dell support worked with me on setting up my return, and in the end I decided to order a new unit. If anyone out there is considering this beast of a laptop just know these quick facts from an owner;
Pros
-Stealth mode activated and no lights on the battery lasts for a bit over 3 hours
-System is easy to overclock and the cooling system works Magnificently
-The Power brick is a bit larger than that of a DVD case and easy to pack
-Large Laptop but very manageable, my girlfriend nicknamed it the beast but began to fall in love with it (forgive for what I am about to start, but she is a MAC fanatic but admitted if the new M15x or M16x is built with the same standards she may switch to PC. Sorry, not trying to start a war)
Cons
-Mirror of a screen but semi viewable outdoors
-System Glitches between Vista and Alien Command Center
-Will not fit in the majority of 17" notebook bags

If you are going to order any of the base units with just the 260gtx, go Asus or Sager and save your money. These machines are great, and mine was a bit of a lemon, but I am sticking with them. If you looking for the bang for the buck most know where to find it, but f you are willing to spend those extra bucks (or grand) go AW and you will be happy. ]]>Aug 4th 2009 1:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/03/alienware-m17x-with-dual-gpu-review-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/03/alienware-m17x-with-dual-gpu-review-roundup/Aug 4th 2009 11:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/03/alienware-m17x-with-dual-gpu-review-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/03/alienware-m17x-with-dual-gpu-review-roundup/Aug 4th 2009 2:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/03/alienware-m17x-with-dual-gpu-review-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/03/alienware-m17x-with-dual-gpu-review-roundup/I've got the XPS M1730 and I couldn't agree more. Not to mention the fact that you could heat a small village with this thing. Yes, it will get hot, and good luck finding a laptop cooler that will allow a 17" to comfortably rest on it. The XPS 1730 is a great laptop, as I'm sure this one is as well, but nevertheless, it will get hot.]]>Aug 4th 2009 8:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/03/alienware-m17x-with-dual-gpu-review-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/03/alienware-m17x-with-dual-gpu-review-roundup/Aug 4th 2009 8:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/03/alienware-m17x-with-dual-gpu-review-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/03/alienware-m17x-with-dual-gpu-review-roundup/
Given the size and the weight of that thing as well as the high electricity consumption, it would have much better as a desktop unit. Then again, anyone who bought this thing would have a much improved biceps and legs after carrying this around every day.]]>Aug 5th 2009 12:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/03/alienware-m17x-with-dual-gpu-review-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/03/alienware-m17x-with-dual-gpu-review-roundup/Sep 12th 2009 3:56AM
