    I ordered an XPS 16 five days ago (details in my signature), but the link here at notebookreview for the latest XPS deals knocks $100 off of the original configuration. Is it worth it to go through another week of "In Production" to upgrade from the i5 430m to the i5 520m?

    I talked to a Dell rep and they said that can't simply give me a discount on my existing order (lame)

    I would say yes if you're not urgent

    It's always better late than never! Bite your tongue, wait a week and get a laptop out of it!
