Ordered on 11th May, now work in progress. Anyone ordered as well?

 

[enriqueyang]

i bought it off from the shop in funan

 

[Nox Darkness]

I see. I been to a shop in Funan and one of the sales staff told me that m17x r4 with 7970 will not be out until end of the year. Little did he know that I will be getting it on 21st May. Perhaps he was desperate for sales.

I've been using ati for a long time so far the benchmark I saw comparing the 7970m to the 675m difference was huge!

Woah, how did you get that much discount? You haggled with the customer service agent? Btw you got the $3,699 base model or the $4,000+ one?
