re: Alienware M18x R2
There is not much of a change as everyone has observed. The truth is that the price has come down quite a bit, compared to the previous version. Probably when the new GPU's and CPU's come out, the changes will apply into the 'price'... As far as I believe, I think it is a revision 2 for the m18x, before you click on any link and you hold the mouse on it you will see the 'extension' of the link m14x-r2, m17x-r4, m18x-r2...
You want good customer service and full support?
Have no second thoughts!

re: Alienware M18x R2
Looks like 2 SSD's in raid and then a plater drive can be added for data.

re: Alienware M18x R2
According to Notebookcheck, 675m is under 5% better than 580m. But this might be wrong.

re: Alienware M18x R2
Actually I think there are only 2 hdd and a slot which is called msata. Smaller size SSD drives which can be used as the operating system.
You will use your other 2 hdd / ssd for your own data
Example:
OCZ joins the mSATA SSD BattlefieldYou want good customer service and full support? Have no second thoughts!
