    it's simple, really.

    I want this laptop:

    But with this screen:

    How long until this happens, do you think?

    Why not contact Alienware and voice your concerns for needing a better screen?

    Dunno... guess I just assumed that either they wouldn't listen... or more likely, I would get to speak to a mindless drone with 4 hours of training that had no real power to do anything but regurgitate the company line.

    Alienware gives preference to m18x. If something better came out it would be there first. Lol I was reading in the m17x forum when the 6990 came out they would only sell it to existing users on the m18x. You had to wait if you had an m17x.
