    I hate to break the news to all those stuck in normal pre-production for your M1330's but ive just discovered that my Pre-production doesnt actually mean what i thought it did.

    My Pre-production stands for Preferential-production ;)

    What does yours stand for?

    Using Dell's definition here:

    means that they've checked they will be paid, estimated the EDD and .... done nothing about preparing to build the computer.
