    I ordered from the UK site on April 2 AM, was in production April 4, shipped on April 6 and arrived at my workplace on April 8 AM. The estimated delivery date was April 25. My laptop details are below.

    Good luck with your order.

    The backlight keyboard is 100% worth it, however, the SoundBlaster is a waste of money. It is only one more piece of bloatware you have to install, the actual audio hardware is the same.
