    I've been all over the Dell site, even going as far as constructing the PC and going to final checkout.

    Is there anywhere you can check to see what the estimated shipping date is BEFORE you order the PC?

    I'm time sensitive on when I need a new laptop.

    Should be on the right hand side (Prelim Ship Date).

    Thanks for the response.

    It should be on the screen BEFORE I have to purchase?

    Yeah, preliminary ship date under the price tab. That is the estimated date that dell ships it out of their warehouse.

    Though I ordered my laptop on 7/9 and its prelim was 7/26, yet it shipped out on 7/12 and is on its way to the carrier. Not something you could count on though.

    It's right under the dynamic price calculator, but it's not dynamic...you need to click one of the top bars to change to like Step 2 protect my investment to get it to refresh, but like previously said yes...
