    I probably should have posted this sooner, but while I was talking to the supervisor last week she told me that they're waiting for the screens to come in to get production back on track. She said the screens are expected to come in march 5th. The people who are expected to get their notebooks on march 14th should be back on track in the phase game starting march 5th.

    This applies for both resolutions?

    Probably, because both screens get shipped from the same company/ and made. But maybe just the one.

    damn that stinks... but fewer people order the 1920 x 1400 so they might still have the 1920's in stock

    I'm not sure if it's the same for UK orders. The supervisor I talked to was for my US order.

    Also - it might still apply to you since the only thing on backorder are the screens (from what she told me). If the supplier ships to the US on monday and we get them on the 5th, UK should probably receive a shipment of them as well (i would assume). So hopefully by march 5th the ball starts rolling.

    With AW its almost like in East-Germany, back in the 1980`s. If you wanted one if the two cars available, you had to wait for 15 years to get it. lol

    @topic

    My m15x (ordered in UK -->Germany) was due for shipping on the 29th of February. So far I haven`t heard anything from AW. I wrote them to clarify my current order-status. Awnser should be coming in during the next few days, if ever. (My orderstatus-site shows phase4 since a few days, though my payment went out the same day the m15x was available in EU)
    It looks like that saverel parts for the m15x in Europe are missing atm. In a German forum there where also some rumours about a new shippment in the first week of march.

    I think AW has to rethink the whole order-status thing and either abolish it completely or change it into something useful. The way it is atm is rather dissatisfiying.

    Like you, my order was for the 29th. I have emailed them a number of times, they finally told me what they were waiting on, if u check the other topic under 'The phase game' UK m15x then about page 5 it will say there.

    Thanks for the Info. Guess that things get rolling again this week. Nevertheless, if they don`t have it shipped to me by the 17th of March I am going to send them their crap back and go for refund.

    (I am only in Germany until that day. After that I will be back on my way to my island)

    cheers,

    the AW rep told me that my screen was backordered and scheduled to arrive this upcoming week as well. i guess it applies to both resolutions.
