    hi!

    im about to buy the new M1330, but the only problem is that the "salesman" sent me a .pdf file with the configuration. On the top of the page it stated that the stimated shipping date was 22 of OCTOBER!!!

    is it really goin to be so late? is it just a mistake or someway of making sure the customer doesnt complain??

    thanks!

    Dell tend to over estimate the ESD.

    But there is/was a shortage in LED screen hence the delay.

    Go check in the dell forum abd you'll find out.

    I would expect to wait between 3 - 5 weeks to receive the unit, so I think Dell is being a little conservative. I wouldn't count on it being here before then, but I think it's a good chance that it might be a week or so early.

    No way man. How was my first 8/16 an "overestimate" when I don't even have it yet. (I cancelled on Sept 10)

    I ordered my M1330 on 9/13 and the automated order status "claims" that my order made it to boxing on 9/17. Granted, it's still in boxing as I type this, so I still might end up one of the "50+ days and waiting" people.
