Price drop on New Alienware m15

How much of a price drop can I expect on the new Alienware m15 on this Black Friday? 

Does anyone know if Alienware used to offer discounts on new models in the previous years?

Usually theres decenct discounts but I would personally stay away from them. They used to be excellent systems but since dell acquired them its gone down hill. My brothers m17 from before the acquisition is still going strong with no issues. I had my m17 from 2014 in for service 4 times with them after my 3.5mm headphone jack became non functionial and it became a nightmare.

 

After getting that fixed my laptop cameback with a non functional chipset display so it wouldn't output anything to the display but i could use the hdmi in on it from display port from the gpu on it to output to the display. Then got the laptop back after that with a broken mPCIefor the wireless card so no wifi. Recieved it back again with a random intel wireless N card instead of the broadcom AC wireless it had before. But that wasnt the best part...the mPCIe was still broken so still no wireless. Had it sent back again this point it ran out the warranty while i was waiting for it the last time so i had to fight with them to warranty the faulty workmanship. A bad tweet got their attention very fast after fighting with their service department.

 

Shortly after i got it back in working order and immediately posted it up on my local buy and sell for a loss of $1500 in a 1 years time so that i could go and buy a laptop that wasn't completely trash.
