    That's strange Brian.

    The tracking details are just made up from your customer number and order number, with the tweaks I mentioned. At least in my case it seems to be how it's done. That combo not working for you?

    It says mine has shipped via INT which i assume is Interlink ? now known as DPD, i'll try use the walsh site and see what happens.


    @burnoutuk Nope no luck i'm definitely with Interlink who are now DPD but its ridiculous that they are still called Interlink as well as DPD track all of there items. Maybe i Should give Dell a ring.

    Me too. Same order date. Maybe the 256 SSD is the problem?

    I ordered: SU7300 CPU, 8GB DDR3, GT 335M, 256 SSD, Bluetooth, AT&T WAN, Win 7 Ultimate.

    I have been following the thread for some time. Mine was ordered on 2/4 with and EDD of 3/5 with overnight shipping. I cant wait. It is killing me. So I mentioned to my wife about a forum member's (BigTymer's) wife taking the first pics of his laptop while he is away. She could not believe me. She said "its only a damn computer why would she do that?!!!". Well
    I defended your wife BigTymer and said that your wife was a real keeper and that if my wife kept up with this attitude that her spot on the bed would be for my M11x not her. Geeze a damn computer? How could she say such mean things.*Sniffle*

    All I can say is CALL. Talk to a rep, tell them (a) that you are confused by the ship date, online says one thing, phone says another and (b) there are several friends that ordered after you that have already shipped or got theirs.

    Either my status was just updated to what it should have been, or it was pushed ahead slightly. I did get updated to free next day shipping though.

    This permanent build status is getting old- almost to a joke level. No way it takes this long to get power cords. Curious what excuse others are hearing. I am still being told power cords are the issue.

    In short: Yes
    In long: Yes
    So in conclusion: Yes

    Mine is now being shipped to Aus, very quick movement. I'm guessing they realised their big bad blunder and are sending this baby my way before I Godzilla their factory.

    Thanks for the many answers. I'm pumped to receive this thing.

    I was also looking at the Vaio Z, but for 1k$ more? No thanks.
    I would rather not pay 1k for 1inch more of screen and 1 pound less weight...

    She really is a sweetheart, but doesn't get my technology obsession. She does cook, clean, and drives me when I go out drinking with buddies. Her I/O ports are in quite good condition as well. :D Funny enough she is actually happy I am getting the M11x because she thinks she is getting my Macbook... She just doesn't get how impatient we are and how excited we get to see a couple of unboxing pics. Now if only my M11x would ship or move out of the damn boxing stage...

    That might be true - I ordered just a regular 250GB HD - will be "upgrading" with a 120GB SSD (also on order via newegg).

    You are right, mine is the same, she can never understand a real geek's obsession with technology and computers, but that is OK. We know who we are, so sort of speak an unboxing video is a "fix" for us, would you agree?

    Couldn't agree more. Funny I just called Dell and my order is being shipped from Malaysia not China. When I go to the order status on Dell's website it says in production. When I call the EPP # it says it is in boxing stage. So I guess no matter how hard I try it is stuck in a plane somewhere. I still have an EDD of 3/5. Man where is an un-boxing video when you need one... I am starting to shake....Sooo cold.

    Call lock out means you will be receiving a call soon to book your delivery slot.

    I had a call for my studio 1749 a couple of hours ago. Sent on the 17th and being delivered next Tuesday.

    Anyone know why my order switches between "In Production" and "Shipped"? I called yesterday morning at work and it said my notebook shipped. However the date of shipment is October 26th, 2002?!?! I call again during the night time and my order is "In Production"!! I justtttt got off the phone today and now my order is "Shipped" again with the same date! WTH is going on?
