M11x Order Status Discussion Thread - Part 2

Question, just ordered my m11x on 6-3-10 and I'm wondering when it will come because the preliminary ship date right now on the website is 6-15-10. Does it really take this long to ship? or is it a estimated time or what? help =(

 

Most of the time they arrive earlier then the ETA but it mostly depends on when you order the Laptop. I will be receiving mine one day before the ETA but if I ordered one day earlier I would have gotten it before this weekend.

 

Thanks =) and wow what a huge let down for you bro

 

I would definitely suggest that anyone who has less than NBD shipping, call up and just say you need it for school and you are leaving the day it is delivered. Works np lol

 

i got it wayyy earlier. i got normal shipping and i got mine in one day :]

i had to call dell support today because my m11x wouldnt turn on randomly. so i was put to some alienware tech guy and he was actually pretty knowlegeable and helped me fix it right away

oh if you were wondering what was wrong, i guess when they manufactured the laptop they didnt put the ram in properly or it was loose, so all i had to do was take out the ram and put it back in. pretty cool that they didnt send a tech.

 

I did not have this issue but noticed one of the retaining clips could have been better. Small tweak (bend) and its right as rain.

 

Woo! Laptop just came in. Unboxing now :3

 

I hate FedEx. If Dell shipped via UPS, I would have received the computer this morning.

 

LOL - well, I remember when they were using DHL. Arghhh - talk about a nightmare. So glad they went back to FedEx.

 

How are you folks getting yours so early? I ordered on the 4th of June and it's expected to SHIP on the 21st.... That is borderline unacceptable...

Booo on you Dell!!!!

I want mine early too ;-)

 

It's probably the hard drive. Me and a buddy ordered ours a day apart; I went with the 320, he went with the 250. I am getting mine tomorrow. His ETA isn't until July! Our systems were identical otherwise.

 

Weird... Page 36 of this thread refuses to load.. lol

 

I ordered on the 1st and EDD was the 23rd, but has since moved down to the 16th.

 

Just wonder, did anyone cancel his/her order for the new Intel core i5/i7 option(which just announced) instead?

 

trying to find coupons right now lol. i just got my laptop like a week and a half ago so im still eligible within the 30 day return policy. just want more coupons to help ease the price of the i7 XD

 

Yeah, anyone know of any coupon codes? I would very much appreciate any information on great deals. I know you can get $50 off from signing up for dell email list... anything else? Someone mentioned a $100 coupon I believe. What would be the code for that?

 

Free Shipping on Systems $699+ (before tax and shipping) ?8CN$RJ?W5TQ0C

works for me. free 1 day shipping

 

Is it working for you on the R2 m11x? Hmmm... I aready tried that one... ill give it another go though.

 

worked on the r2 for me? lolol hmmm im still looking for more though as i got the m11x im currently using for 774. im hoping to get the r2 for sub 1000 with same specs except i7

 

Hmmm... this is frustrating. And the R2 models aren't even up on the EPP program sites.

Hey, at least I got an R1 configuration with su7300 and SDD to $1288. Thats not bad for that, at least.

Also, does anyone know what a DellU system is, exactly? I've got a $100 off coupon for a DellU system. Works on m11x R1 under EPP but not for m11x R2. Any thoughts?

 

well i received my orion portfolio case today so now i can drool over how my m11x will look like when it comes in.....10 days >_<

 

I would cancel my order if I could retain the discounts I got for the one that is currently on order. For what i am spending, I could cancel and reorder an I5 unit and actually save $50 on top of it...... But... my discounts won't work and an i5/7 puts me into mid July.....

It's pathetic that Dell takes a month to build a machine.... With this kind of service I am worried about being a Dell customer.

Buyers remorse is setting in.... Especially since they refreshed the line the NEXT business day after my order.....

 

Ordered 8th June at 22:00 UK time

My EDD for my R2 is 18th June 2010!

If it arrives thats pretty decent delivery. Somehow I'm expecting to be let down!

 

Well I've just ordered a day later, my EDD is 7th July!!!!
I hope the i7 is worth the extra wait!

 

Ordered mine yesterday. I called and the sales rep knocked $73 off the total price. I got the i7, 4GB memory, 320GB hdd and bluetooth. All for $1300.. ouch. That's $265 more than what I paid for my M11x R1 which will be shipped back to dell next week.
My estimated delivery is July 8th.. can't wait. I hate playing the waiting game

 

It's your call, but I got one of the C2D machines today and am thrilled with it. Once you start playing with it, you won't care. Trust me. For the extra time and cash, it's not worth it.

 

Ordered my R2 today using the US EPP, the rep told me that since its a new system they arent too sure of the delivery dates. but he told me the system said July 9, 2010 is when it should arrive. But the rep said since i ordered so early it could arrive earlier, but no ones too sure.

/cantwaitD:

The important things that people would care about that i put on it were:

- Alienware M11x, Soft Touch Stealth Black
- Overclockable Intel Core i7 640UM (4M Cache, 2.266 GHz Max Turbo Frequency)
- 4GB Dual Channel DDR3 at 800MHz
- 1GB NVIDIA GeForce GT 335M
- Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium, 64bit, English
- Integrated 10/100 Network Interface Card
- Optional Bluetooth Module, 2.1+ Enhanced Data Rate

The price of my build after tax was: $1,275.92

I also had a 10% discount and a 100$ coupon. But thats the price that it shows in the confirmation email and I'm too lazy to find the price before the discounts D:

I also got the Targus external drive thingy-ma-bob

 

Does the i7 version still have optimus? Or do you need to get the i5 version? Also if anyone can post a photo of the m11x vs a 14" notebook they have I'd be interested to see the screen real estate difference.... I am debating whether to get the m11x or a 14" which weighs about the same (Y460 for example)...

also anybody know the realistic battery life on m11x for say playing a movie only.

 

It has optimus, this is covered in the main thread about the machine over and over.

Thank you for Purchasing Alienware


$1,262.93 before tax not bad didnt want to go through more phone calls i know i am lazy

 

I'm in the same boat. My m11x isn't supposed to ship until the 16th, but my sleeve and anti-glare protector will be here tomorrow. At least I will have my HTC EVO 4G to hold me over. That will be here tonight.

 

i7 core
4gb ram
250 7200rpm hdd

$979 pretax

claimed delivery date 7/8/10 =\

At least its coming =)

Regards,
K

 

Got the same upgrades as you. Mine however came out to quite a bit more which stinks I realized that my company offers a 12% through dell and after 4 hours on the phone they told me that they couldn't cancel my order and I would have to return the one I ordered and resubmit my order...

Now I'm just considering keeping the one I get and chalking it up as a loss. Oh well I'll have a new laptop at least

 

hurray for small favors =)

 

Anti glare protector for the screen - where from?

I've had my M11x R1 delivered to work, but I'm on holiday until Sunday/Monday so it's sitting at work until then >_<.

Also have the Zagg cover and palm rest protector shipping today also

 

True, but hey, 12% is alot at its current price tag! But, I know how it feels, when the baby's in your hands, you have no other care in the world and nothing else matters! That feeling > the money you spent! Cheers to us both =)

Regards,
K

 

I also just ordered my new m11x.

i7
8 gb ram
500gb 7200 HDD (can always switch it with SSD later on)

So hope this little bugger will live up to its reputation now

 

I'm sure mine is going to be pushed back. Unless they start building it today they won't make it. Its 4 days from China to the UK

 

Hey for the US guys that used a credit card...how long did it take to get your payment processed? Mine still hasn't cleared my credit card.

 

I got the one from Dell's site. Seems like the biggest complaint in the reviews has been the screen glare. Figured I would give this a shot and see how it works.

A2G Anti-Glare Screen Protector for Alienware M11x Netbook Computer : Monitors: Flat Panel and Widescreen | Dell

 

Mine hasn't cleared either. Dell's policy is not to charge until it ships, but they will still hold the amount until then.

 

Ordered my M11x w/ i5 with a estimated delivery of 07/12/2010.
Do these things show up sooner than the date usually? I am on the west coast of Canada if it makes a difference.
theblah

 

shipped today with estimated delivery....tomorow even though i did not order next day.
the only problem is i am out of town and wont get back until sunday >_<

 

Bah, just had my m11v for a week and now they refreshed. If i want a upgrade from my specs its a $200 diff for a i7 and $50 for i5.

Its great the way it is now, not worth the wait if i want to exchange if i can.

 

From what I understand, dell won't put a charge on your account until the day it ship, but dell will put a holld on your acoount for a spicific amount. This usually done with in 24 hours, sometime instantly. If you call the CC number and use the auto response, it won't show up there, but if you get a live person then you can ask to see if there is a hold on the account. The hold will account count toward the max limit on the account, but you won't see the charge until dell charge it. Say, you have $2k limit on the CC and you order $1500 laptop. even though dell havn't charge the full $1500 yet, but the hold is there, thus you will only have $500 in CC left until that's clear(meaning dell charge it and you pay it off, or it time-out and drop off the list by iself). Generally speaking, if there is a hold on the account, the rep will not touch it even if you ask him/her to remove it and he/she will suggest you talk to that company first.

 

I ordered mine about 20 hours ago, and the payment still hasn't cleared for me. As long as the delivery date stays the same, I'm not too concerned about it. They probably have a ton of orders to process too

 

I ordered the M11xR2 w/ i7 on 6/10/2010 (actually 6/9 but almost midnight) and today, the order statue now show "In Production". And the description is,

I guess this mean, there is a hold on my CC. EDD still show next month though(I guess Dell won't change that until it ship).

 

The order status for my r2 ordered on the 9th has today updated stating that the build is completed and estimated delivery has changed 2 July to 22 June. Rad.

 

There's hope! Mine was ordered on the 8th but still shows July 9th...

 

Keep checking. The status on mine changed 2 times today. First it went from 1st to 2nd July with build still in progress, then this afternoon it changed to build complete and the date rolled to 22nd June.
