    I just called and there's 2 parts that are out of stock on my order (red notebook casing and wireless HD card?). My EDD hasn't changed but I'm guessing it probably will very soon. They did upgrade me to next business day shipping at least.

    EDD = ????

    :(

    ordered may 6 (in canada). shipped 21, arrived 25. unfortunately i won;t be home to see it until Friday, but at least I know where it is...

    Purolator tracking seemed to be a day behind. it started as "in transit in US Ground Linehaul", from 21 to 25. on the 25th at 2am it said "in Toronto sort center", but was delivered at 10am to my home. and the tracking number didn't update until late in the day.

    but, assuming my unit has no defects, i don;t care. it's home, the battle is won. :)

    Tonight, i picked up my M18x at Purolator depot.

    Very nice laptop however I am disappointed with the keyboard.

    The keys are small and the keyboard is located too far away. My M1730 keyboard, the keys are bigger and more accessible.

    The 330W PSU is the same size than my M1730 PSU.

    The M18x screen is much clearer and brighter colors than my M1730 WUXGA TRUELIFE 1920x1200

    I am creating the AlienRespawn rescue media before doing a fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate x64

    My original EDD was 2 June (w/7 day shipping) but I just looked at my order status and besides the fact that I'm still "In Production" they changed my shipping to Next Business Day. My new EDD is 31 May but I'm not getting my hopes up. The rep I spoke with said the production team is still waiting on 2 parts even though my order doesn't show it yet.

    All I know is that I get to wait longer.

    because he probably called the dell rep up. dell reps can see "SC" which is Shipping Center, a status we cannot see on the dell website.
