    I got the tracking number from DHL earlier today too, it's just not working... Or I'm too dumb to use it. Either way, I'm getting there. :)

    AW prolly processed it, but DHL hasn't actually picked up the parcel. It should be up by working by tonight though.

    They get bulk shipments for parts on certain days of the month, I think. If all of you ordered within a certain time frame, they would have to wait until the shipment came to start building the notebook-- that is, assuming they didn't have the parts already in their inventory.

    She just arrived today at exactly 1 hr before the est. deliver time. FedEx is great. So yeah, I'm very, very, very happy so far :D

    To be honest with you, I don't even care about the computer, it's all about the AW hat! $2,900 well spent.

    I actually had the same experience with FedEx. The last update was at Memphis, but I figured that it was actually already in Canada, and it was. Faulty status page, just like AW's. ;)

    You've got nothing to worry about.

    Just got mine like two hours ago. The fully loaded M15X. All in all a pretty sweet laptop. The hinges do worry me as it does creak and seems a little fragile. Noise isn't too bad. Looks good. A little heavier than I though but not bad at all. Does anyone know how to make it so that all the text on the websites isn't so small because I have a 1920 by 1200 resolution on a 15.4 screen. I may come out with a longer review in a few weeks. All I know Alienware was quick because I ordered it on the 20th of Jan and it arrived on the 28th.

    I ordered mine on Jan 19, but I placed two order changes on two different occasions and that delayed my m15x. Mine will arrive by Jan 31, weather permitting. The problem I just found out through Mr.Moo a few hours ago is that I am getting a 8700m gt and all this time I kept thinking it was an 8800m gtx. Well, my joy of getting my laptop very soon has turned to some depression knowing the gpu isn't the one I was thinking I had ordered.

    I checked the customization page for the m15x and the 8800m gtx doesn't show up at all. If I had known I was getting the wrong gpu, I would have dumped the extras I asked for and gotten the correct gpu. Oh well, I'll have to order it later on when I can afford to get it.

    Weee! My M17 has arrived in Helsinki, Finland. It's 5 in the morning and only 150km away. Let's see if those lazy monkeys in DHL can deliver it today. (Anyone reading this from DHL, yeah I said you were a bunch of lazy monkeys. Now gimme my computer. :D)

    Not like I need it today though. I just hate hogging my girlfriend's HP when she needs it too... And I'd really like to play something else than minefield...
