M18x Info Right on Dell's Website! With Proof!!!

[alexUW]

Congrats on the find.

As someone who had a 18.4" Qosmio, a large screen like that is pure sweetness (makes 17.3" screens look tiny).

Lets hope it is true.

Is this enough to feed your M18x rumors guys? Actual screenshot with the link to go with it:


Documentation

No specs as of yet or other info as it leads to a different computers documentation but I don't see something like that as a mistake.

+ for the find.

This made my day

Hopefully it will show up on the website soon without pre advertising, just like the old m17.

dang only 18", i want me an M24xr9.

It's actually gonna be 18.4 inches...

For me the 18 will be perfect. I am a fireman and every third day this beast will go from my car to my room. To be able to watch HD/3D? movies will be just what the doctor ordered (still using my Inspiron 9300). It is already written, the AW m18x WILL be my next computer;/-

both major shows, computex (5/31-6/4 2011) & E3 (6/7-6/9 2011), aren't until summer...

Summer begins june the 21st...

No one knows, let's not turn this into a speculation thread as it may get deleted or closed if it does, we all know it's got to be something recent and high powered.

rather than speculation, let's go with more from the sw (dell-lab.posterous) engineer, who has just released some new info/specs today:

The M18X does support 1600MHz RAM. Dell will offer 2GB and 4GB DDR3 sticks running at this high speed.

Here's a list explaining the similarities between the M18X and M17X R3:
Same Power Button
Same keyboard
Same HDD options
Same WLAN & BT options
Same AC Adapter/Charger (240W)
Same optical drive (DVDRW, BD-RE, BD-ROM)
Same 3.2MP camera
Same CPU options
- As of now, an SSD with SATA3 is only offered on the M18X.
- Further more, 1600MHz RAM only offered on the M18X.
- Dell offers an 8GB stick running at 1333MHz on both machines.

On the flip side, a 3D LCD is currently only showing up on the M17X R3.

I'm still waiting for more info to come in.

By the way, the codename of the M18X is "Avenger".

as for eta on this "avenger":

summer begins june the 21st...

+1 yeah, yeah, yeah... lol

launch is the most speculative aspect atm - but with the place holder already up at dell's support site, along with all the fresh new details rolling in, maybe sooner than summer?

It could be a good marketing initiative for Dellienware to open a 'marriage list'... Ups! sorry: I mean a 'boarding list' for people ready to make their order on the forthcoming landing M18x...
According to the quoted 'probably' specifications, many will be ready to start ordering and even advance a first payment for a 'boarding ticket'... (me among them).

18in screen with dual graphics sound awesome. Still, if this is going to have hdmi input/3d/better screen then it's worth waiting for.

By the way, the codename of the M18X is "Avenger".

That's probably because like the m17x-R1/R2 it will look like a dodge Avenger

I hope the chassis/case won't look like an enlarged m11x. I've been drooling over the m17x r2's case/chassis since the moment I first saw it and am hoping it'll be an 18" version of the m17x r2's case/chassis.
