    It was an excellent decision to go with the Tuxedo black in light of Dell's paint job delay problems.

    What precisely do you mean? Last I read, XPS M1330 with black matte color casing was the only color that met production time and standards.

    I saw on some pictures that finger grease might stain on the tuxedo black color.

    Since black was the only color left, everyone ordered that, causing a shortage of ALL M1330s

    fingerprints are easily wipeable, and you shouldn't be touching your laptop with fryfingers either :p

    Be ready for it. New lead times for the LED have been identified in the last few days which may put you into October. Conversely, I just saw someone on the other thread who ordered less than a week ago go into build with 2 systems.

    Location will also determine delays.
