I just won the auction on ebay for an m17x with the following specs:·
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9000 2 GHz Processor
4GB DDR3 Memory
500GB 7200RPM Hard Drive
Dual nVidia GeForce 260M 1GB Video Cards (SLI)
It costs $1406 with free shipping. The reason i am skeptical is that alienware has just discontinued the q9000 processor and the nvidia graphics card for the m17x.Therefore, is this still a fair price and is it still a good laptop (compared to i7 processors and the ATI 5970 cards)? Then again, those things will make me have to pay alot more or atleast i wont be able to get them cheaper for awhile.The seller will let me not buy it.
