Dell-Bill_B : PLEASE READ

Long story short, I ordered a m17x from dell.fr last week, before the Ivy Bridges were out here in France and then they showed up here yesterday.

In a moment of panic, when dell told me it was in production and could not be cancelled, I created this post.

Since then, I have cancelled the order and have now submitted a new order that will be (100% for sure) Ivy Bridge model.

So all that remains is a bit of curiosity... If you could look up this
SKU: 210-40039

What would have actually shipped?

I could never get this information out of any of the 6 people I talked to at Dell in the last couple of days.

 

You need to have 10+ posts to be able to PM.

 

Thanks, I just found some posts on here that describe the process about having enough posts and even then waiting for 11pm EST to get an update on the permissions.

 

It's actually five quality posts

@Jiaco, how about you wait a little. Bill said that if you ordered the new M17x it can't come with a SB CPU.
What does the invoice say?

 

I have been on the phone most of the day and have now cancelled and re-ordered the machine.

I have yet to see the quote to see the estimated delivery date, but the previous invoice made no mention of R4 and had an i7-2xxx (base processor). The new quote is definitely Ivy bridge.

Sorry about this thread, it was created in a moment of panic when dell.fr said they could not stop my order and I was unable to reach anyone at dell via telephone that would help me. I have since talked with 2 people that were very helpful and responsive. So much that I am a very happy (soon to be) Alienware owner.

 

Honestly, you should've waited. If you ordered with the 660M it would've been built with a IB CPU.

Glad it has been sorted though.
