    My I9 took almost as long as my 1530 took to get to me last January! :eek: :rolleyes:

    But when both were received, it was oh-so-worth the wait... :D
    My I9 will be a week old tomorrow, and it still smell *brand spankin new*

    In fact, it smells the same way my 1530 did last year, when that arrived!!! :p :rolleyes: :D

    Does the XPS line have a distinctive smell!!! :rolleyes: :laugh:

    They are awesome lappys, a given! :cool:


    Cin ;) :)

    Well dang it I guess I am happy for you then. I got to watch the wife play with her new laptop all day today while I sat and watched my son play Xbox. No drop off from Santa for me this year. LOL
