Need to switch to Dell alienware M17xR2

[bAALAaDITYA]

Hello friends I am a newbie to this forum and hence a very small question to all of you. Well I am thinking to buy the Dell alienware M17xR2. So before buying that I thought it would be better to take some opinions from you all guys. First I was using Dell alienware M11x but I had some issues with the screen and I though the screen is not perfectly suited for the gaming environment. I have been constantly updating myself with the latest information on the laptops and I have heard that many of the bugs are worked out of the r2 with crossfire 5870's. so I just want to ask you all is there anything that I am missing out in this topic? If yes then do let me know about it and share your opinions on the laptop.
