    Does anyone have some inside knowledge of the situation of European orders? What are the main delay causing components at this time?

    1440x900 Screens?

    I know that its damn hard to get a WLAN-n card on the market and all computers waiting for that seem to be in an endless loop. The situation has to be so dire that Dell has already removed the WLAN-n option for 1520s in Germany.
    Fortunately mine is with the abg card, but that again I don't know what component is still missing.

    I am not in Europe, but my cousin in Poland says that
    1) The color of the lid, obviously, is the number one lateness factor
    2) Like you said: The screens
