Tomorrow I'm going to cancel my order of the M17x R4 and return the 17" back pack and order the M18x R2 instead and back pack. Getting a M17x with a 680m video card with a 1600 x 900 screen because that is all that is left in the Canadian market is eating at me...... I want my 1900 x 1080 screen plus windows 8. Based on my saved cart setup it would ship around the same day I'd be getting my M17x.
I can't justify spending that kind of money on a laptop and not getting a Full HD screen......

So I called Dell Canada this morning. I ended up canceling the M17x order. I ordered the
M18x R2
Windows 8, 64-bit, English
3rd generation Intel® Core™ i7-3630QM processor (6MB Cache, up to 3.4GHz w/Turbo Boost 2.0)
24GB Dual Channel DDR3 at 1600MHz
2GB GDDR5 NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 680M
1TB 5,400RPM SATA 3Gb/s
Killer™ Wireless-N 1103 a/g/n 3x3 MIMO for Gaming & Video and Bluetooth 4.0
Slot-Loading Dual Layer Blu-ray Reader (BR-ROM, DVD+-RW, CD-RW)
Space Black Anodized Aluminum
18.4 inch (467.36 mm) WLED WideFHD (1080p) display (1920 X 1080)
They gave me a $140 discount on the PC and are going to exchange my M17x Orion backpack for the M18x equivalent without paying the difference.
Down side spent $316.26 CAD more to get the M18x R2.
Availability is slim pickings now when it comes customization on the Dell website for Canada. Was the only configuration available with Windows 8 and the 680m video card.
