Help Me Spend $5k :) USD

Not really sure. I would assume it varies based on the price of the purchase. I have also heard that some people get free shipping and things of that nature. You can PM them here and they can discuss all that stuff with you. They are not allowed to discuss discounts on the open forum per NBR rules.

Who would I PM? Right now it's between ordering from them and HIDevolution.com I am a little leery about ordering from Power Notebooks as well because after reviewing their website I'm not sure if I'm getting the m18x, m18x r1, or m18x r2. On HIDevo I know I'm getting a r2.

@knight472, LOL.. black sticker.

Also, you can check the reseller feedback forum in the Sager/Clevo section to read the many positive reviews for PowerNotebooks. I purchased a laptop from them many years ago. They have been around quite a long time. Highly recommended.

I just sent a PM, let's see how it goes. Thanks!

I don't really think spending that much money on a laptop is actually a good idea! in the end they're going to be out dated and be replaced. best way to go is a single graphic card with dual SSD's, unless you're really a power hunger, then better go for desktops because I don't think these bulky bricks are ideal for mobility in the first place! they're 10 times more powerful.

I don't see the point the notebook you will buy is going to be worth 1k new in 2-3 years. Otherwise I recommend that you get the best warranty possible since I have no idea what you should do.

Maxed out M18X with Xfire 7970M.

Maxed out p270wm (3960X) when it's available (as it's been either delayed or cancelled).

If you want only graphics design, go for the x7200 with a quadro.

@Captain Razer: I already have a killer workstation. This is meant for power on the go.

@lebob23: I'm not interested in resale value. My current laptop is an Acer Ferrari 5000 and it's lasted me 5 years. I just gave it to a family relative because it simply can't meet my needs anymore.

in that case go for the M18x

yeah some people are going to say clevo, but clevo have desktop cpu's and chipset which IMO result for an extreme heat and terrible battery life, sure has horse power but not really ideal for mobility!

honestly, the clevo line has been the better deal by far for a while... just depends on what you're looking at. if you're going to buy in the next month, go for the m18x because it's available and the clevo rig is getting the bugs worked out.

This choice is easy, Alienware M18X maxed out it will be close to 5K but should be under budget.
