    So, I won a contest for a m17x I believe R2 model based on specs from an alienware arena + Heroes of Newerth/S2 coin contest on May 9th this year...

    Anyone know how long Dell would take on average?

    2-3 weeks as list in the Dell Estimate Delivery Dates, but mine take 5 week at first, then change to 3 week.

    It actually changing all the time, but the average is 2-3 weeks for if you configuring the laptop.

    But in your case I think it will be already configure, so maybe 1-2 weeks or less.

    Depends on the month and model.
    Mine took 2 weeks to be ready-to-ship.

    Depends on the options. Usually the EDDs are very accurate. I got my laptop 3 days after I ordered it.

    Sometime it will just keep update the date all the time, like me, I order M14x on 11/Jun, then I receive a confirmation email stated the EDD will be on or before 7/Jul, but then when the status move from order receive to in production to update to 29/Jun, and now my M14x build is complete so now it update again to 24/Jun.

    So at first it's said:
    7/Jul then 29/Jun and finally 24/Jun.

    My very first machine took literally almost 3 months, LOL! That was back in the old school first-gen m15x days.

    The next machine took right at about two weeks I think.

    The replacement R2 took about a month once the order was placed.

    The replacement m18x took 20 days iirc.
