Hi All,
My name is Aravind. I am not an owner of Alienware yet, but will be very soon. Need some help from you guys. I live in Bangalore, India. I am willing to buy M14X. I did some online search and landed on the site http://alienware.co.in
On the page there was a "Build Yours" link which took me to the Specs site where there is a list of hardware and software components. But I was not able to select any of them and see the total price. I could do this on site http://alienware.com which is US site. I built my M14X on US site and the total price came out to be around $2183 which is around Rs.1,16,000. Following are the components I selected,
- 3rd Generation Intel® Core™ i73840QM(8MBCache, up to 3.8GHz w/ Turbo Boost 2.0)
- 16GB (2 X 8GB) Dual Channel DDR3 at 1600MHz
- 750GB 7,200 RPM SATA + 32GB mSATA Caching SSD
- 2 GB GDDR5 NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 650M with Optimus™
- Intel® AdvancedN WiFi Link 6250 a/g/n 2x2 MIMO Technology with WiMax and Bluetooth 4.0
- Slot Load Dual Layer Bluray Reader (Reads BD and Writes to DVD/CD)
- Windows® 7 Ultimate, 64bit
- Nebula Red color
I went to a local Alienware shop and enquired about the above configuration. It appears that they have 2 standard configurations, one high end and other is base configuration. The high end is priced around Rs.1,50,000 and base around Rs.87,000.
I compared the high end configuration with above mentioned list of components. The difference is in the RAM, HDD and the OS. It had 8GB RAM, 750 GB HDD (No SSD) and win7 home premium 64bit. I asked him for additional RAM and SSD. The store guy told me that I have to buy it in addition to the high end configuration !! so it means that I will be paying more in addition to Rs.1,50,000, which is already more compared to my US configuration.
The sad part is US store can not ship to India
.... Please advice me as to what I can do to get my desired configuration with reasonable price.
