    Just wondering if anybody that ordered the M11x R3 with the 750gb HD has shipped yet. Trying to figure out why mine hasn't moved from production yet. :)

    Seems to me when I ordered mine on the 20th the 750GB drive was the only option. Hasn't shipped yet. My EDD is May 17th, but I also went with the cheap 7 day delivery.

    Just phoned the order status line and spoke to a rep, he says that my R3 (750GB) is complete and will ship out in the next 48 hours.

    Could you, or anybody that has orderd the i7 model, with the 750gb hard drive and 8 gigs of ram that has shipped, or you have received tell me your order number? Dell support won't do a damn thing until I can prove someone that ordered a system at the same time, or after my system has already received, or is at least shipped.

    They basically told me that i'm too dumb to understand what stage its currently in, and that it's taking longer because the have to build and test the 750gb hard drive. I'm getting a little annoied. I was transfered like 5-6 times and on the phone for almost an hour.

    I ordered an R3 w/ the 750gb. Higher end i7, difference is I got 6gb of RAM not 8.

    Mine has not shipped yet.

    What region you ordered from may make a difference as well. I ordered from the US.

    I also live in US, and ordered the day it was released.

    I think the OP might be on to something here.

    Mine is scheduled for 5/11 estimated delivery - and I have Next Day Air as the delivery option...

    Seems they are waiting on the HDD possibly.

    I'm in the US, and as I stated before I attempted to call, but got the run around with no real information as to what is going on with my order. I ended up sending an email to Michael Dell, and all the Exec's at Dell. Hopefully I can get a real answer.
