from his sig i doubt it yikes.
But really, chanks, you will not be sorry for having the m17xr3 it is a beast machine in itself.
I was halfway thinking about the m18x when i was looking at getting mine and i was thinking i really dont need that much of a bigger laptop; i was even considering getting the m15x at the time too; but landed on the m17x. and i love it. i mean there are a few differences as what can be done, but i know i'm not regretting the m17x. and neither should you.
Plus you can always upgrade some as well as needed, which shouldn't be for a while.
