    The phases aren't dead on accurate. They're more of an indicator so that you can follow along in the process. Based on what I've experienced, they usually update the phase the following morning after the day they do it.

    Been waiting 1 week and four days for my Alienware m15x to be shipped out. The wait is a killer, but I know that it will be worth it. Congratulations :)

    Maybe this will help you out :)

    Tips to kill anxiety/excitement over a new laptop:

    1)Take 30 belly-breaths
    2)Get good knowledge by surfing this forum
    3)Redirect your mind
    4)Don’t forget to eat. (studies indicate that eating burger and chocolate make you feel as if your in love)
    5)Take a vacation
    6)Create a space of silence and stillness and meditate (didnt work out for me)

    Funny thing is, I am actually doing #2,3, and 4! I stumbled across this forum and the first thread that I read was the "Why you shouldnt buy the m15x" thread. Which totally scared the living crap out of me. I usually play a sport for about 4 hours everyday (which is tennis). About 5 more days! WOOHOO!

    I also have a really good step, DO NOT LOOK AT THE PHASE PAGE. It will just make your wait even longer. Instead of looking at the phase page, just surf this forum, or update your myspace, or play some sports. My estimated delivery date is on the 11th. (shipped on 7th)

    here we go again :p
    trust me on this guys. if youve got the phase/joke page saved as a shortcut then DELETE IT NOW. the phase page has not worked correctly for ages and this has been confirmed by AW
    you will end up headbutting the wall in anger when you think its any day now and then you go BACK a phase.
    im the world record holder for being in phase 5 for 24 days.
    would any of you like to take my crown.

    good luck everyone and lets hope its not to long a wait.

    You guys can freely PM me if you want up-to-date status. I understand the order status page jumps back and forth between phases, so feel free to PM me if you want to know exactly where you stand.

    I recently ordered my very own m15x, and after staying in phase 4 for about a week my order has reverted back to phase 3 which I thought was kinda strange. Luckily I stumbled upon this awsome forum and suddenly I'm not as worried ;)

    So I'm guessing there is a designated day of the week that systems are shipped? I jumped up to phase 8 today - when should I expect it to go to phase 9?

    Mine actually shipped on tuesday. (8th) And I ordered it on the 27th. You'll get to phase 9 really soon. I was from 6-9 in 1 day, so that was really awesome. Congrats on your computer :)
