Torn between a m15x & NP8660 | Thread profile

The reason I am saying this is because I am also looking for a notebook and while the price in the USA can be much cheaper...

There's a thread with like 20 pages of posts and pictures on the AW forum about just such things happening.

So that's the reason why I'm asking for more inputs about whether I should order from the US or UK, mainly for their difference in prices, the reputation and for the warranty issue. Thanks! Well, if you are going...

It might be better for you to make back ups of your stuff on a DVD and just get one when you move to the UK. I get your eagerness to get a new laptop, but it's better to get it from an european vendor. By the way, if you want you buy from a US vendor and need to fix it I think you have to send it to the US (Shipping costs are on you). Better just to be patient, back your stuff up, and check for the best deal in the UK, europe, or the US...

Wow....what a thing it will be if the np8660 is a flop,lol

Alienware m15x still running hot? I believe XoticPC will ship anywhere and the $1000 you save should cover a lot of warranty shipping which "knock on wood" you likely won't need. I believe the 1st year of warranty is thru Sager. Call XoticPC and ask those specific questions. They can give you the correct answers.

with all the problems people are reporting about the m15x , you would have to be insane to pay that extra ~1000 and still get it. i mean, can the np8660 possibly have more problems then the m15x? maybe, but unlikely with clevo's rep. atleast you save money. then again, you will be in the uk...iunno if the sager will be covered warranty wise in the uk altho shipping it over here wont be a problem, it will just take LONG.

ive been asking this over and over, whats this about being able to buy at Uk site and getting it shipped over? does alienware ship it over at an extra cost? if they do, do they ship to australia? and does the US store do it as well?
