    Yikes.. I just checked the order status and they must be updating things over there. My order says info unavailable at the moment. Fingers crossed that next week's EDD stays the way it is.

    yep... I guess it takes a lot of system resources to bump the EDD again... Must be because there system isn't used to handling updates... AT ALL.

    Well that's awesome! Both phone updates (3 +order number and 4211+order number) now both have no idea or info concerning my order number...
    Their SQL Server must be indexing or something... lol

    i def. know what you mean. Dell took all the excitement out of the deal. By now it's just, whatever, they send it when they send it kind of attitude for me.
    (Which does not stop me from obsessively checking the order status page and this forum :) )

    Still, the situation here can be summed up in one word.

    Man you did get a killer deal, bully for you!

    To all those losing hope, believe me I understand your frustration. It is worth the wait, but everyone has a limit. I was almost at mine when Dellienware came through.

    With that deal Delta, you'd be insane not to wait it out!

    Well those triple b complaints can not be unnoticed. I am guessing that delta here will be updating us in the beginning or middle of the week.
    Egging Michael Dell's house, hmm... that might be the next step :)

    But come on, all of us here chose the AW for a reason - the aluminum body, the cooling system, the build quality the rgb led .. none of that exists with the ASUS, and if you go ahead and buy it, you will always be regretting not waiting those two extra weeks for AW.
    Oh, and over at the ASUS forum, i saw that it comes with it's own set of issues and problems. Plus it's backordered as well imho (although i am not sure about it).

    Now for my personal opinion about the asus - it's one damn ugly mother

    Looks like I am in the same boat guys... No phone calls, no emails, pushed back to 3/8.

    Its ironic that every EDD date is a Monday. They are just saying... Lets HOPE we can get parts by then.

    Yeah, thats what I am sayin :( Mr Neutron and I both ordered on 1/17.

    I am pricing other systems out now, I am pretty much to my breaking point. There is no way I am spending 4k on a laptop that I have to wait two months to get. It's literally getting obsolete as I type. LOL

    I just did some reading in the ASUS forum and my first impresions of the people who post is they are not the sharpest tools in the shed.

    You guys own them in knowledge its sad really.

    Are they having some of the same delay issues we are? Usually people who post on forums are the outspoken minority. I think our case is unique in that this topic is bringing people into the forum that normally would not post.
