Maybe one of the latest Killer Wireless network cards. I will let everyone know the shipping status as it is updated. Does anyone know when AAFES actually take the money of the CC? Is it when the beast ships? Also any guesses when this thing is going to ship? -
-
Well, checked FedEx. Delivery exception today. Yea, no wonder, since they shipped it to the wrong city. Called Dell repeatedly before then and they said they would get it fixed. Guess it's another wait.

Enter your order # -
I got different color then ordereded
-
That's annoying. Call Dell and ask them to ship you a new lid.
On another note: mine shipped!! Should be here tomorrow!!!! The WirelessHD transmitter was definitely the cause of the hold-up for me. -
It's in!!! Now time to install a whole bunch of stuff.

I got mine today;
I have ordered on May 6th;
Wireless-HD was the part that holds the production.

I also read this little review.
http://www.asusrog.com/forums/showthread.php?2503-Kingston-HyperX-1866-PnP-SODIMM-Memory
"However, overall system response has improved very nicely, plus if you play a game that tends to have microstutters on transitions and such, then you'll see that they tend to be non-existant, and you'll have a more fluid experience in gameplay."
Not sure how true is this but I can't wait to receive my kit.
-
WElcomE pal!! Clever decision. This is a beast.
And don't worry over the quality of the display, you will get over it -
I'm still "in production" and my EDD of 7/1 (which is what it looks like it's going to be) is 37 "In Production" days. -
Ram - that was the same basic config as me - black chassis with WirelessHD transmitter. Weird.
-

Well after placeing order on 12 jun with an EDD of 22 jun I called dell today and was told that my order got pushed to july 1st because of the nameplate. Having to scratch my head on that one. lol. If i wasnt so impatient this would be hilarious.

Thought I would give this hard drive a try.
500GB 7200RPM Solid State Hybrid
At some point I would like to install a 120GB SSD as primary drive and place 500GB 7200RPM Solid State Hybrid as drive number 2.
I can place the drives into the laptop case but I could use some advise on the process from that point on.
I would like to thank everyone on this forum for your posts have been a valuable source in making this purchase decision.
Thank You

Ordered as a replacement on 6/17/11. Specs in sig. They forgot the Bluray drive. On schedule w/Fedex for a 6/23/11 Priority Next Day delivery by 12:00PM. AW is sending me the blu-ray drive on 6/24/11.
When they say that replacements are top priority they mean it!!!
Update: Couldn't wait for the drive to ship to me today, so I swapped my R2's Blu-ray RW drive. Now I'm all good. -
After calling the Dell rep. yesterday and hearing the hold up was the name tag, I checked this morning to find out my EDD was pushed again to 5 July.
Have been waiting to hear back from Dell rep. as they were supposed to call me back, and just checked my order status before calling them since I havent heard anything. My order shipped today via FedEx and should arrive tomrrow.
Think I'll be to excited to sleep tonight. This is my first experiance with AlienWare so hoping this machine is all it looks to be.
