    I just ordered mine last Sunday and it is in production right now. It is gonna be shipped on the 12th and I'll get it in 3 to 5 days! I can't wait until I can finally lay my hands on this gorgeous laptop! Anyone else that's waiting anxiously? I'm just praying mine will not be a lemon.
    My config is 2.66ghz processor, 4g ram, 500gb hard drive, 720p screen, 5100 3*3 wireless card, ati 3670 graphic card, vista home 64 bit. Let's start a party while waiting! Please drop some ideas what you are gonna do once the lappy arrives. Clean install of windows 7 RC? Update drivers? Buy a backpack? Logitech nano vx mouse? Invisibleshield screen protector? Need For Speed Undercover? :D

    4670?, would be nice though.

    dont buy a nano VX, toooo small, buy a MX revolution and wait for the new need for speed. you can probably play that on max settings aswell.

    Ordered mine on Saturday and it's been in production since sunday. Still have the estimated delivery time as the 19th but I'd prefer it like a week earlier or so.

    Got mine from the outlet a few weeks back and so far I am pretty happy. I hope to be really happy Friday afternoon after the Dell tech works on my machine but so far this thing is pretty damn nice.

    Sorry, typo, it's 3670.

    I went to search for MX revolution, it looks gorgeous. Little too expensive tho... Thanks for the opinions.

    Interesting, mine is scheduled to be delivered on the 18th, and I ordered on Sunday night. I still think it shouldn't take this long for Dell to resemble parts and ship out a laptop, it's a little ridiculous.

    Well I spent about two hours when they had the 15% off to finally find one I thought was good enough that I was able to add to my cart
