    If you are really lucky, and I mean REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY lucky, then maybe you'll get your system with only 1 or 2 days' delay.

    If you buy from the small business website versus the home and home office website, your chances of getting it out on time are substantially increased. There are a few features on the business side that you won't be able to get that you could on home and home office, but if you are getting a vostro it's probably a little more likely. It also seems to depend upon your location. Bottom line though, if you need one in a hurry then either buy from the dell outlet or buy elsewhere.

    I bought my Latitude laptop from the business side of the Del web site with 3-5 day free shipping. The order confirmation email originally gave a ship date of 10/16. It actually shipped on 10/10 and arrived on 10/11. I am pleased!
