List everyone M17x-R2 ETA

When i looked earlier i noticed they yanked off the 1333 RAM as a choice.. Wonder if that has anything to do with it ... This was on the EPP site...

 

i hope is the memory because my order has the 1066mhz. one

 

just checked with the people i ordered mine from and the eta is 2/2

 

Ordered mine two days ago. ETA is 2/19. It's already in production too so maybe I'll get it on time.

 

The 1333 mhz memory is still available on the EPP site. You just have to select an i720 and up.

 

On the regular site, if you pick at least the core i7 720QM you still get 1333 as an option...

 

Ha me and joker got it at the same time.

 

ok guys what orders been canceled the ones from epp. or dell. regular site or both ?

 

Ahh ok, when i was messing around earlier i dont think i had changed the default CPU option so i guess that was the reason..

 

we need to focus on this what orders has been canceled maybe on epp. because people is getting to much discount ? or they out of led. screens? every one ordering with that screen

 

It's back up, so that's probably not the problem.

 

if i am not mistaken all the orders canceled was from epp. and they was made by phone when epp. still don't have it avaliable on the site

 

It was never taken down from what was mentioned a couple posts after mine... It does not show up if you pick the i5 but i had not touched the CPU options when i was messing around on the site.... So in the end it was never gone just something i overlooked ...

 

Just got off the phone with the rep. Guess which part?


The CD/DVD drive!

Which of course explains why our British friend had his order ship with his blu-ray player and why all the US orders haven't shipped yet. I now have a new order # and delivery date of 2/16. Sigh....

 

BTW, on my original order, the CD drive was listed as this:

313-8565 Slot-Load Dual Layer DVD Burner (DVD+-RW, CD-RW)

On the new order, its listed like this:

313-8977 8X DVD+/-RW Dual Layer Drive,QuickSilver

So if you have the 313-8565 DVD drive, you might want to give your rep a call and make sure you don't end up like me.

 

Mine says this:

1 313-8977 8X DVD+/-RW Dual Layer Drive,QuickSilver

 

thats an odd part to be out of, considering they don't offer blu-ray in the states so all we can order is the dvd drive, maybe they just weren't read for this many orders, i mean we got what 10 - 20 orders that we know of for sure, who knows how many other orders were put in, especially on the same day.

 

My first order says Slot-Load Dual Layer DVD Burner (DVD+-RW, CD-RW) and that order was just canceled. My second order says 8X DVD+/-RW Dual Layer Drive,QuickSilver and it's still in production.

 

Sounds like what I think happened to my Oct 09 M17x order that I canceled after 5 delays. When I went to reorder my rep said 1/2 of the part numbers didn't exist anymore when he went to copy it. I checked my order from last week and my drive has the 313-8977 PN so I think orders made when we all used that 5% extra off code should be Ok.

 

Haha..there's probably 1000's of orders for the M17x-R2. Dell serves a huge market.

 

What's your new ETA?

 

The second order is still 2-15

 

Here's a full part number list of what I have, lets all compare:

 

Here's mine:

 

My says: 313-8977 Slot-Load Dual Layer DVD Burner (DVD+-RW, CD-RW).

Right (new) P/N, wrong (old) description, but still In Production. EPP order on 1/22/10.

Edit: the description has been changed/updated on the EPP web page order description to the Quicksilver unit. That's cool.

 

Great guess I'm going to get cancelled too then.
1 313-8565 Slot-Load Dual Layer DVD Burner (DVD+-RW, CD-RW)

On the plus side I was flipping back and forth on waiting for the 5870, guess this was my sign to just wait.
Mine was showing an ETA of 2/9, what was your eta Turtle? Wondering how much longer it is going to take them to cancel it.

 

Non slot loading drives ?

Humm

 

Looks like our part numbers are identical with the second orders.

 

Here's my new order:

Also, my new order has a status of "Changed" right now. I guess thats because my rep just put in my new order, but shouldn't it be "In Production"?

 

My order ETA was 2/1, so you probably wont' be hearing from them until 2/6 or so. Although my rep said she had a number of calls to make to other customers after mine, so who knows?

Edit: And I forgot to mention, I got a significant discount since they ended up canceling it. I explained I was quite upset and was thinking about just canceling the order altogether and getting a G73 and then when she called back her manager had authorized the discount for me.

 

ah...my order was automatically re-entered. Did you guys check this?

 

Well i just got my replacement m17x today, so for ppl waiting for a brand new one, mine will be on ebay tonight. Will be worth a look.

How do i tell if its a r2?

 

Yeah my first order was re-entered too but I had the dell rep cancel it for me.

 

Which processor does it have?

 

If its Intel i7 based, it's a new one. Otherwise it's not.

 

Mine

ETA: 2/2, 2/5

 

if your screen is bright

 

Yeah I'm going to call them tomorrow. Now the more expensive but same spec system has a later ETA....that's not worth it to me.

 

ive ordered my m17x with the blu-ray burner, so hopefully my order wont be delayed as not many people are getting the blu-ray burners

EDIT: Oh by the way, has anyone reached boxing yet?

 

If you ordered from the US using that 3rd party dealer, I wouldn't even count on having a real order status lol! Last I spoke with a rep, there was no blu ray offered for US customers, period.

 

Someone mentioned on another thread that a dell rep told them, the blu-ray burners are reserved for the higher end systems. Also the guys i ordered from have a 100% positive ebay feedback record and are authorised recognised resellers of Dell

 

Do you really need to ask this now?

 

Well lets hope so. All our orders are high end yet we're not given that option on the consumer or EPP side.

 

It's not an R2, its probably a core2quad or whatever. They turned replacement m17xr1s around brand new within like 1 week for the past 6 weeks..

 

Ah true, i'm a bit confsued as to why you guys aren't offered the blu-ray drive. I'll ask the company what the specs of my blu-ray drive are tomorrow to make sure they know their stuff.

i'll let you know how the blu-ray drive works out IF i get it lol.

 

The R1 had the BD drive.

 

Yeh, but i'm getting the i7 processor so it must be an R2. i hope so atleast, or by the time i return it etc, the 5870s will probably be just coming out.

 

Actually I meant we know how the BD drive works because the R1 has it. This is my 3rd M17x.

 

Hopefully that guy from the UK will post some pics/vids and impressions. I'm curious about the screen..

 

ah hehe
