    I have just placed an order on a fully configured dell xps m1530 and I have a few regards:
    1. I chose the wireless usb option and in my order it is stated to deliver at a later date isn't it supposed to be built in wireless?
    2. The xfi card is estimated to be delivered on the end of the month do they really take that long? (I wont have anyone to pick up the laptop for me after the 20th)
    3.What are my chances of getting an lg screen I chose a wgxa+ just for that
    4. I have been told you get free ear canals with the order but it is no where in the receipt emailed to me

    You cannot predict which LCD panel you will receive. Chances seem to be better that you will get the LG on the 1440.

    Call Dell and ask them! It seems to expedite the process.

    The way that I get suppliers to ship faster is to call to cancel my order and it almost always seem to "already" been shipped!

    I'm beginning to have second thoughts about the purchase as my plan since august was to get a m1330 but oh well I'm not going to cancel my order.
    How long did it take you to receive your m1530?

    Sometimes the delivery date is exaggerated. Mine came a week before it was due. Looking at Dell web site it wasn't accurate. By the time they posted that it was sent for delivery the package came that same day!

    Based off the forum and my own experience, it will not surpass the stated delivery date. I received mine at almost the exact day they predicted from the original order date. Most people seem to receive their systems days before the actual printed delivery date.

    A few more questions -
    does dell ship the notebook with the 2 prong or 3 prong now?
    If I take this notebook to europe for example will I need to use an ac power converter 220->110
    or just the little white thing that changes the prongs pins
