The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    They should take it when the order is shipped because that, technically, is when the transaction occurs.

    Any monies taken before the product ships should be immediately returned to you upon your request. They probably will take money from some ppl earlier and generate interest on that. If you're ok with Dell making more money of your sale, then let them take the money earlier :) They haven't taken money from me yet as the item hasn't shipped but if they did, they would get an earful from me.

    Yeah, thats why places like EB Games + Gamestop take pre-orders, because they gain money from them.

    Haha, hope that it's next day delivery. Most people who received the upgrade have been getting the regular 3-5 day ground delivery.

    I'm worried about that too. Mine shipped yesterday but it says:
    Est. Delivery Date: 8/1/2007-8/3/2007

    Which seems like 3-5 day to me. The e-mail says:
    Shipping Method: Next Business Day Delivery

    Carrier: Standard Overnight FedEx

    but I don't have the tracking number yet, so there's no way to know for sure... :(

    hello,
    I'd like to know if it's possible to add a DVB tuner to the vostro 1700 using the expresscard port? Can somebody tell me if Dell will accept to sell me that
