List everyone M17x-R2 ETA

If they do get them in a week (which I doubt) they will fit in the X8100, and the other Clevo models that support the card. If they fit in the X8100, they will fit in the M17x.

Still no word on my R2 ETA.

 

Ordered 2 days after, same deliv date, config is in my sig

 

Slight difference there
Dell are actually compensating you for delays, and respect their warranty and stuff.
I would not consider comparing both companies (though i don't know eurocom from personal experience, just from crylo told)

 

my date is still the same but im positive it will get delayed another week tonight 5th delay YES PLEASE!!!!

 

i think its most likely since i got delayed from 2/26 to 3/5. but it'll be nice that you get yours in the next week.

 

I'm just going to throw this out there and I am not sure if it has any weight at all, but...

Of the three people I was bugging about my order, I did not ask a single one for anything else except getting that order expedited.

Probably means nothing and you should all get all the freebies you can, but just thought I would offer the observation.

Also, I never actually hit a delay period so I did not feel I could ask for anything - I was just pissed that it was going to take 5 weeks from the day I ordered and I raised HELL in the nicest way possible.

 

same here, first delay i asked for it to be expedited, and then second they gave me NBD shipping, and then 3rd delay i asked for upgrades and freebies, in which they are still working on and haven't given me a straight answer. but hopefully you get yours soon. i still don't know why you're already in boxing. but goodluck

 

speak of the devil, my dell rep just called and still no idea on the compensation, and when i asked him how sure is he about the parts being there and how sure he is that i might get another order delayed status on 3/5 he replied that he is not sure. no one is ever sure. then i told him again that i'd cancel if it got delayed again and he said he will be on top of it in hopes it doesn't have to come to that.

 

i got the delayed email on the day of my supposed EDD...
So if it's today for you, and you haven't hit boxing yet expect a letter...
sorry...

 

Yeah i know.

*Sigh* Been waiting 3 weeks..Now another 3 weeks and two weeks to build and deliver...lovely...

 

Did you phone them?
I was told the system being delayed due to the RGB Screens back-order but will most certainly ship before the 21st of March.

 

If I have to wait that long mine better ship with 5870's.

 

How did you get a 16% discount? I returned my R1, waiting for them to credit me so I can order a R2. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

 

How do i file a triple b complaint?

Its been 40 days since i first ordered and i still dont got a aptop. My current EDD is 3/1, it should have shipped today so im probably going to have to wait another week.

I recieved 0 emails about the delay, only 2 phone calls

 

I am on the verge of filing a BBB complaint against Dell. I got the order action required email today. I called the number listed and told them not to cancel, she said ok, but to send an email too. I sent the email and got a reply back saying they had received my response. I then later got a call asking me to confirm identity and hit 1 to continue with the order. I did that and the automated machine told me that the new EDD was 3/5. I just called to check my status and it told me my order was cancelled. I am so ready to rage on Dell right now. THREE times I confirmed not to cancel the order and they did it anyway!!

Edit: The real Dell order status 4-2-1-1 says cancelled. The website and 3 option say my EDD is 3/5. Which do I believe?

 

I'd call them and ask them what going on with the order. Sadly enough my order won't move from Order received stage for three weeks thanks to a massive Delay on RGB screens. -.- so i won't get mine for a good 2 months

 

Its real easy just go to the site enter your zip click on file a complaint. I choose bad advertising since when I orderd the laptop there was no warning or attempt at contacting me about the problems

 

Called order status 2 more times to confirm that it was in fact saying order was cancelled. Called Dell EPP support and he told me there was no cancellations and the order was still in the Dell queue. He told me he sent another internal memo to not cancel the order. I said thank you and then checked the order status again. Back to the build stage. Hmmm, this makes me think the order was still slated to be cancelled anyway and he changed something without telling me. Guess I can hold off on the BBB for now

 

it will be interesting to see Dell's reaction to those complaints.

 

I guess mine is still in production, keep us up to date on how the BBB deals with Dell.

 

Well, tonight is the night that the delays always come... I'm actually somewhat excited in a sick way to hear the date change again... Any change is better than no change!

 

So you got the change according to your signature

 

Unfortunately the 3/4 change was last Friday...

 

Doubt they will change yours tonight. My guess is they will start shipping beginning of march. ( but maybe that's just wishful thinking )

 

The recording is telling me my EDD is 3/9 now.

 

I see no reason why it shouldn't be delayed again tonight... It's happened every other Friday around 11 PM PST...

 

Joker, no email? They just change it?

 

Mfractal, is your EDD still 3/3?

 

This is so weird that they behave differently with different groups. To some they change the date without telling and well before the actual date expires. To others they wait for the last day and only then change it. Some get emails, some don't. And it also seems consistent (like if the "treat" you one way they will keep at that). Isn't the process automated? Weird...

 

Yep. No change so far. They seem to bump my date on or one day before the date expires.

 

I think it depends on where you live.

 

Hmm, I didn't think about it. That might be. My order is from Dell US and they always email when they change my date and they change it very close to the EDD.

 

My order is with Dell US too, and I have only once received an email with regards to order delays and that was only the very first one. I think it might be since I have a customer care rep assigned to my case that she just tells me when the order gets delayed. She also submitted the very first order action required email response on my behalf and I never got it, though completely missed this one.

 

Wow.. I am sure hoping that my date is not changed. Both the site and a call to the system give me the same 3/5 EDD. For fun I have been checking the outlet.. Some fun things there from time to time.

 

Mine was just delivered a few hours ago. Reordered on 2/1 and was delayed until today. On a side note my system did come with a raid 0 config, haven't heard of anyone else that ordered raid and actually had them raid it. I also I have a tiny blue stuck pixel in the bottom left corner of my screen but I think I'll live. In order to see it I have to move in within eye burning range

 

First off, congrats on your new system. Second.... It came with raid?!?!?! I too thought such a thing was a myth! Check all your settings and hardware. Hopefully the guy who was doing the software installs before got fired and not just moved to another section....

Watch, someone is is going to pop up who only had one stick of RAM put in there system

 

Hm I don't know how to officially check but I ordered 2x500s and I have a single 916gb drive 0.o

 

I think your good. I had to set mine up after i got it. Thats what I had afterward.

 

I think I'm going to treat new EDDs as badges or trophies-- who can get the most EDDs? I'm going to try to get my fifth one tonight!

 

Lol I am on 5 now

 

yep i get my delays posted at 11 or 12 tonight and receive the emails at like 2am monday morning if they delay me again this will be my 5th!!! woot lol

 

Wow you and I are on the exact same delay schedule... So, the tiebreaker is whoever posts their delay first! Lol

 

So If I were to order this machine today... I would have to wait some crazy amount of time?

Plus I "may" have this Latency issue with the Audio?

So why are people still buying these?

 

No latency issues with the M17x-R2 and ATI 4870s. That was the M17x-R1 with nVidia cards and chipset. This is a totally different and much better system that people are ordering here.

 

My R2 has zero latency problems. Audio quality through the jacks can have some static now and then but I have never had a perfect notebook audio out. With the system speakers everything is crisp, loud and without any stuttering. The biggest thing holding back the R2 is the power limit, it's largely solved with the new bios but there is still some residual flickering in games like GTA IV once in a while but that's only if the 5% OC in the bios is active with the 920xm. I hope Dell tweaked the final bios release to account for this but knowing their QA, I doubt it. I plan on upgrading to the 5870s which should eliminate any flickering entirely thanks to their lower power consumption. I wish Dell had built this system around a 300W PSU with TDP/TDC limits removed and a massive CPU copper block.

 

Yeah that would be good. I guess we can only hope.

 

Grr stupid courier doesn't do weekend deliveries

 

12:36 and no delay yet! But if i remember i think 2 of the weekends it changed at around 2am so i still got time lol come on dissapointment dont dissapoint me... Yes i just said that!

 

dont worry deltaone, they'll email you on monday morning, i'm sure of it. -.-

 

Well there is a plus side they have gotten better at the teasing it was still a week off when they would push it back this time i made it within 3 days lol
