    How long can I expect the 1520 I ordered to be in each stage of the thingamabob?

    IDK about each individual stage, but you will probably get it early-mid august if you got Jet Black or brown.

    Nobody knows. Some are only in it for 1 day. Some are in it for a month. And just because you ordered before someone else, doesn't mean you'll get your order before them. They also won't tell you about delays until the day it's actually supposed to ship, so you won't be able to take an early initiative and either switch to a non-backordered part or a different computer. It's like some kinda game.
