    As i read the forums on the status of the back ordered parts of the M17, some say that they have received the keyboard and other dont. I do know for a fact that the graphics cards are in, but for the keyboard, Im going to call tomorrow, my question is, if they dont have the keyboard is it really worth waiting for the lights on illuminated or just get the lappy?

    I have special contact with AW now to get special offer to speed up my order. With this special offer, I know the fact that the number of illuminated keyboards is short and graphic cards that just came in is not short yet.

    Delayed parts are making me paranoid. My order when to Phase 6 this morning (went from 3-5 yesterday). I have an illuminated keyboard in my order. So.....I'm not sure on what to think. I will keep you updated on where it progresses today.

    Mine moved today from phase 4 (after going back to phase 3 for an hour) to phase 5, so my guess is that all parts are in and they started working on our laptops :)

    I like the Phase when it shows up at my door the best :)

    Phase 6 here, funny how it seems the less I care about whats going on with the phase count, the faster it moves along. Thats a good thing.

    I felt like an expectant father outside the hospital delivery room waiting for mine to get out of Phase 2 for 8 days!
