Just pulled the trigger on an M11x.. They are clearing the Rev 2.0 inventories to make way for R3 release this summer. Ended up with $410.00 off sticker including free shipping.

Grand total for an M11x with the I7-640 processor, 8 gb memory and 320 gb hd is $864.00 out the door. Not too bad.
Should be a great portable gaming machine when I travel for work
