    Well, after being out of town for the weekend (and buying all my accessories, wireless router, etc), and returning home only hours ago, I have to say that I'm pretty damn pissed. My order shipped on Thursday of last week, or around then, and I was positive that it would reach my house today. Unless they're walking with it in their arms, it SHOULD have arrived today.

    Anyway, I'm still here though! I'm browsing from a fancy new router, and on my bed next to me there's a mouse, carrying case, cooling pad, etc for my 1520. But where's the laptop? GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

    Looks like a lot of people got theirs while I was gone. Congrats! :D

    What processor and color did you choose? It seems the T7300 processors and any colors besides Alpine white and Jet black are causing the delays.

    You might want to get the tracking number and start finding the laptop via FedEx, UPS, or DHL websites. After Dell ships it the notebook is officially out of their hands.

    I have the 7500.

    However, my order has already been shipped out (last week), and I've been tracking it on the Purolator website. It hasn't been updated for a few days now, but last time it was updated it was about 7 hours away. It hasn't arrived yet.

    Maybe they shipped it over the weekend while you were away? That is, if they work on weekends.

    They do move the package on weekends, but the actual office itself is closed and they don't deliver. If they did, a note would have been left on my doorknob.

    It doesn't matter though, if it doesn't get here tomorrow Purolator will hear about it.

    How can a Dell Tech miss a DVD Drive? That is like missing a keyboard!

    OMG are you serious? LOL .... you better be gettin some serious rebates/free things for that one!!!

    BTW I dont think having a T7300 or T7500 matters in shipping cause if you think about it... Intel would probably just downclock T7500s to make 7300s to make up for lower stock. :S Just a thought.
