    So, I just ordered a Jet Black 1520, with all the specs in my sig, save for I went with the WSXGA+ instead of WXGA+. Used a $300 off coupon and got it for $1180.03. I still have the Ruby Red on order listed in my sig.

    Ruby Red
    Ordered: 7/24
    Shipping: 8/10

    Jet Black
    Ordered: 8/2
    Shipping: 8/16

    We'll see if these Jet Black systems really ship as fast as people are saying...

    What are you going to do if you get two laptops at the same time?

    Send one back. I doubt that will happen though. I'm leaving tomorrow after work, and if there's no update on the Jet Black I intend to cancel it. I've just read several posts where Jet Black systems where in boxing/shipping in less than 24 hours...

    Let me know what happens...I may be doing the same thing.

    I think I should wait to see if I actually have a delay first on my red.

    My friend ordered a Black 1521 on monday. His ship date was the 13th and it was pushed back to the 17th today...

    I'm going to go look at an Asus G1S at Best Buy today, see how I like it and possibly order one from Newegg..... I can get the Asus same spec, same price as my dell. Otherwise I'm going to wait it out.
