from my opinion.
IF I'm one of Dell sales team lah

i will obsolete M11X and M15X.
focus on M17X and M18X.
then buyer for M11X / M15X if rich they'll sell their product
since discont item already, and buy the latest M17X + M18X.
I guess that's why I cannot work directly with Dell. Mahahaha.
i believe sales team only provide a guidance and help during the purchase process only. the party that brain all those product are Dell Engineer, IMO.
and if i am one of them:
1 - maintain & upgrade M11x - maybe SB + ATi 6000 Series or Nvidia GTX500 Series, just to make it look cool. people dig that

2 - maintain & upgrade M15x - important because higher than M15x will be troublesome for customer that searching for both portability and performance.
3 - scrap M17x-R3 and concentrate more on M18x. coexist of both M17x and M18x will only decrease the sales for both products, and i don't think it will be good for business since the more you bulk them item from manufactures, the cheaper the price will be. just make M18x as an ultimate gaming laptop ever. throw anything you can possibly put in that beast.
