So I am trying to buy the M17x R3 off the dell site and want to pay it up over 36 month, however upon selecting my credit option. Which is "Credit Agreement" then after that I click continue, then continue then all I get is an error.
so do they like just want my money all up front cause selecting instabuy loads the page uber fast.....
I am aware of the price of alienware, credit agreement is dodgy and dell are useless ****s but tbh, gaming laptops are a ***** to find and if I am gonna spend money on it, id rather just splash out on a big fancy, oversized slab than use an Acer aspire or some **** :p..
So can anyone get by this? Someone else try and just get as far or further than this to see if its even possible?
I live in UK :)

Hey!
M17x R3 is what I am using as we speak. In fact I just got looked at funny for sitting in the airport with a $3,000 laptop.
Anyway, I did a lump sum payment, and they still took it out in two chunks. But they did it at the exact same time. I think the interface may be the same for the browser, but Im sure behind lines they will still charge your account the way you have requested. Maybe call dell and check?
Also if your customizing it alot - dont expect it to ship on time. Mine took 45+ days to get here. About 2 weeks later than they said.
As far as gaming laptops being hard to find, this machine is definately a win. I run 3 accounts of eve wide open on large ops in game. I think she does great for eve. Runs Crysis 2 rather nicely if your into that.
Anywho, hope I was of some help.
Fly safe.

It will not be customized too much, infact the only thing upgraded will be the LCD, from the crap 1440x900 to the beasty 1920x1080 3D. I already have a 3d monitor and glasses on this pc but I like to have shiny things lol.
Only downside is I live in the UK.....the UK version, untouched stock costs ú1499 while the US model with more stock features (INCLUDING A LASER APPLIED NAMEPLATE WTF?!?!!! :( :( ) is only $1799 dollars.
Tbh I was hoping to get it ordered tonight but phone lines were shut at 9 and website isent working for me. So that kinda sucks, also love the fact they expect me to buy a ú90 laptop bag...

Edited by: Creepy Goat on 29/05/2011 10:15:00 Take this as a sign of things to come. I know you said you want all the bells and whistles, but it's really not worth the hassle with Dell if anything (and it will) goes wrong. They tried to make me buy a new ú350 motherboard for my ú450 laptop when their overheating problem melted off one of my headphone ports.

I looked at the prices for Alienware crap and was actually offended by how much they charge and what they give you.

Dell have an awful customer service, with the exception of my comp they truly have managed to **** up every order after.
Saying that, Dell gets a bad name for over pricing and the comps they sell in general, I for one have never had a issue with them.
All in all though I would go digital storm, they seem to kick Alienware in the balls MANY times over, far more customisable options and you WONT get the PCI issue (you'll know what I mean when you make a comp with them).
My alienware is gone to **** now and I already had to replace the Gfx card twice, I would not advise getting a comp with Dell, mainly because 'if' something goes wrong despite hearing "we will get that sorted" NOTHING will happen. .

If you plan to buy an expensive laptop, why not try Sager? they 1000 times better quality wise than Alienware wich is just a refurbished Dell with a shiny case?
http://www.sagernotebook.com/
Also check out Falcon Northwests puters, simply because their cases are more customized to your tastes if you want a shiny looking laptop <tho I still reccomend Sager>
http://www.falcon-nw.com/
To be honest, an Alienware is just the case you buying. Better stuff out there on customized gaming laptops, much better service and quality too for your money.

Edited by: MotherMoon on 30/05/2011 22:19:09 Why would buy such an over priced computer?
sigh
It's just we care about you. So please buy a computer based on the insides. if you have to buy one based on the outsides go for bare minium.
Here let me help you out save at least 800$.
Buy your alienware laptop with minimum ram. Even call them and get 1 Gb of ram if you can.
Then buy 8Gb of ram for 200$ and just put it in yourself.
Seriously

Think of it like buying a Nightmare or Bhaalgorn, then fitting it with T1 modules. But all your T1 modules are the same price as faction equivalents. ----

Now imagine the same person has a wallet balance of eleventy trillion isk, so why would they care?
Also faction modules are T1

being poor/rich is not a race.
I got "disposable income". I still recent the idea of wasting my money on crappy stuff. Sure, I could buy a few alienware computers and not notice it on my budget, but that would still make me an idiot.
So instead I do like any smart person, and do some research on what actually is on the market adn try and gatehr info from others. Check the quality of the stuff I get for myself.
Besides, why would I want a flashy computer? I am just looking at the screen. I never got the case mod community.
All these alienware and alienware-wannabe's are just ripping of "rich" idiots. Lamsot the same gig as Apple, but a bit of a different image. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
