Before u purchase an Alienware u must know all the issues that follow.Just search for M17x issues in Google and u ll come to knw.Its a total gamble of money.1 month back i too had made up my mind for the M17x r3,but after reading the post delivery issues that customers face,I have decided to go for the G74 SX A1.Just take a look at the specs,I am sure u ll like them,plus it comes with 2yr Global warranty,Backpack,gaming mouse.
Do let me know what u finally decide..

Issues such as Driver conflicts,frequent crashes,BSOD's,low performance,etc.
I also watched a unboxing video by a a guy who keeps buying gaming gadgets,his M17x had problems such as a few lighting elements not working,crashes,etc.He sent it back and got the M18x,though the performance is great it still crashes atleast twice a week.Also i personally dont thnk there may be much expert customer care reps. in dell india knwing how to handle these issues.

dell laptops do come with 1 year complete care international warranty so go ahead and buy the 18x if you have money to burn else go for G74 SX A1

my bro has just ordered the 17x r3 for 1.5 lakhs.. i don't know about the issues but fingers crossed..

Its an ASUS laptop.The config is far better than the stock configs of the alienware on the official site.
