    yeah i understand the process of how dell systems work, but the fact that they said that its worth the wait for the m11x r3 when i was chatting with them. but yea i just dnt wanna receive it and found out something wrong with the hardware. i have read alot of post of those who received thier product and right out of the box it was crap. lol. but yeah when i read that post i was thinking that doesn't dell test their products before they ship it. but i see your point and your comment wasn't in a mean way. :cool: and yeah im just gonna wait and see...

    cool cool. hoping ours ship this week. i would like to try some programs on that lil beast or should i say unknown beast. lol. but yea this will be my first alienware product, out of all the other gaming systems i searched online alienware beats it with style and some performance to my likings. also the overclock option is pretty cool and doesnt void the warranty and i never own a system that can be overclocked.

    There are just not enough parts to cover all the orders within the given EDD.
    Those who were able to receive their units recently are lucky because they probably have got parts that were the last few available.

    I believe almost all parts are built in China, which I think is unfortunate as it pulls down the quality.
    No purpose of offending those from China but it is a fact...
    However, China is able to produce at a pretty large scale to meet Dell's rising demand for M11x R3.

    It is impossible that they forgot about the manufacturing orders that they are given so I suggest you to sit back and enjoy your days without having to worry about whether it is manufactured or not.

    Mine won't arrive until 5/16, estimated. But hey, I did it to myself. I can't stand to buy a cookie-cutter machine from the store. I always have to soup it up (big plans you know). I must be content with my fate. If I want a good machine, I must wait. And frankly, I don't want them to hurry too much. Make it well, not fast.
    Don't get me wrong. I understand the frustration. I have my countdown calendar, like an advent calendar without the chocolate, and the time is creeping by. My son is getting something at the same time (Weird and Wild Creatures) so we are sharing the calendar.
    Hang in there guys

    yeah we will see how it all works out i will let ya know wen i get it and while its still in production they better check the system well before they ship it. otherwise all this wait for 3 weeks is a waste of my money and my time.

    i'm thinking people who upped the hard drives are taking longer to ship. my specs were i7, 8gb, 320gb (though 278 in use...go figure), 6250 wireless card, and bluetooth. So the only thing I did not upgrade was the hard drive and I got mine mad quick. I am locate in Boston

    Woo! go Oakley! Let us know how it goes. You realize you won't fit in with the rest of us sans M11x anymore though.

    I just wish Dell shipped it to me the correct way. Instead of the extra crappy Fedex low end shipping. :) Not sure if I want to fit in if I have to go without my new system. ;)

    Yeah, I'd rather have my new machine than fit in, too.
    That was a rum go with your shipping. Glad you persevered.

    I got mine today, I also learned I SUCK big time at playing pc games... I bet a mouse would help since the mouse pad on the m11x sucks. Other than that runs great (although I've mainly only ran Counter Strike:S)

    Ordered mine on the 28th. Originally the estimated shipping date was the 18th. But I called customer care and managed to get them to expedite production and now the estimated shipping time is down to the 11th. Hope it arrives soon!!
