    Pardonnez-moi if I missed it, but what were the specs of the other machines used in the Wprime, 3DMark, and PCMark tests? The comparisons don't mean much unless we know what hardware combos are being compared.

    I saw this laptop at Microcenter, man i was disappointed. For that price, I would expected better material and quality. It was cheap plastic all around and clucky. Dell really made a mess out of Alienware.

    Yeah...I mean this new one is supposed to be awesome, and looks great on paper, and the old one was...iffy, and Dell had a better built, better speced choice at the time for roughly the same price.

    Dang...I've been toying with making my current laptop a "netbook" for the kitchen, and buying either this or some other replacement (like another Asus or something).

    Is it possible to buy a spare PSU/ac adapter for this model though? Dell doesn't list it on their configuration screens, and doesn't list it anywhere on their site, that I can find.
    No, this isn't built by Clevo. As far as I know, it is designed by Dell and manufactured by Flextronics/Arima.

    As for the spare AC adapter, if the online configurator does not allow you to select one, you could call in your order and ask for one.

    Thanks! Sorry I'd forgotten I'd posted this. I'm not sure if I somehow missed it the first time, or it just wasn't listed yet, but I found it for $120:

    I'm assuming this is either for the new m15x, or else it works for either. (Weird that they kept the same name when they're apparently very different systems.)

    Does anyone still buy $3000 gaming laptops?

    The Clevo W860CU trumps this thing in so many different ways.

    And at 9lbs... the new 15"-17" i7 260M machines from Asus & Gateway are just a tad over $1000.

    Heck, some microATX desktops come in at less than 9lbs.
