    All the shipping times are dependent on what parts you ordered. I'm guessing your config is not the same as his, so you may be subject to delays he is not.

    Only thing different on mine is that I have the 250 GB HDD instead of the 320 GB and Dell said that nothing was holding up my order so maybe by tomorrow it will ship.

    Maybe they just threw the parts at the motherboard to see what stuck then closed it up, so we will see how lucky i am when the laptop arrives.
