    Hey, lately alot of peep's have been receiving them w/out the sleeve (and accessories). :eek: These items once came standard... :(

    If, when you receive yours..and it's not there...Call Customer Care and let them know, and see if they will ship you one asap.

    I hope you do receive it ;) :)


    Cin ;) :)

    They should, but it might depend on country. I'm sure Canada and US still get the sleeves. My M1530 did, don't see why the M1330 wouldn't.

    I received my m1330 yesterday sans Sleeve case. Asked the tech about it during the follow-up call and he said it didn't come with one. Granted mine was a replacement unit but it appears NEW. Just checked eBay - you can buy one for $10 shipped so not exactly a deal-breaker although if you can talk them into compensating you, more power to you ! Let's just hope it comes with your unit though.

    refurb system is YMMV
    new, you should call Dell CSR for Noteebook sleeve, remote, CD case, earbuds, cleaning cloth

    I just got my m1330 yesterday and it had no sleeve. I am furious. And the dell CS and sales are worthless and trying to give me other cases for 14 and 15" laptops. I just want my **** sleeve that fits perfectly so i can put it in my main bag.

    Anyone know of any dell SLEEVES that fit the 1330 like a glove? It appears dell is incapable of sending me a new sleeve because there is a no part number for it. I would have to send in my laptop and get a brand new order and pray the sleeve is in that one.. how insane...

    Aaah....If you happen not to get it with your order..Call Customer Care, be nice firm ~ and say that you thought the sleeve and accessories were standard, and that is one of the reasons why you ordered the 1330 (as it completes the laptop).

    Then, it might be good to say...When might I expect these items? If, they say no..say well what else can your offer/compensate me for these not being included anymore? ;) :)

    If your not getting anywhere ask for a supervisor, or simply hang up..call back and talk to another rep.

    But, once you receive our notebook..the most important thing for you would be to look it over very carefully, and check to make sure things are in running order! ;) :)

    Cin ;) :)

    EDIT: I did not realize you had already received your 1330! Call Dell!

    Since when? :eek: :confused: I was under the impression the LoJack CD came separate...it did with mine back in 1/08. hmmm.

    I'm glad that 1330 is in excellent condition ~ that is a good thing! ;) :)

    just load into the OS once to activate ur McAfee and Lojack....u'll create accounts on mcafee.com and lojackforlaptops.com ..

    then for lojack, its on ur laptop forever, even if u reformat (its installed into BIOS)... on ur new reformat OS, just go to lojackforlaptops.com and 'test call' or ensure that ur laptop calls lojack

    for mcafee, u have to reinstall.... but then, mcafee=crappy, use Nod32 or kaspersky if u have $
