Did I get ripped off?

Just a new alienware owner, but I'm not sure if this one was worth it. I got it 100 bucks cheaper but it seems like the screen is just terrible. I did by another monitor which I haven't hooked up yet, but as a novice pc user
Not sure if I got the best deal.

Dell US has the M14x starting at $999. Sounds like you got the 1366x768 LCD and the lowest spec RAM and HDD (which is part of their $999 price). I would try to return it and order one online from Dell with the 1600x900 LCD. It's only an extra $75 from standard. I think you didn't get the best deal you could have.

Welcome to AWO by the way!

I agree with Matty. I compared both screen options in person on the m14x and decided that the additional $75 was worth it. Actually it's quite a bargain if you compare it to the screen quality upgrades that Asus and Lenovo offer.

Yea the 999 one has an I-3 not an i-7 I think....

Looks like it's got the i5-3230. It's an extra $100 to upgrade to the base i7. Couldn't tell which one you had from your link.

Yea so I dunno what I got but it's not that bad I guess...

It'll do the job, that's for sure. They don't even give us the option of the cheaper display or i5 here in Australia.
