    Congrats on your purchase! Be prepared to wait. Ordered over a week ago and is still stuck in production. Before I ordered, the preliminary ship date was the 29th. After I ordered the delivery date was set at 8/20... almost a month later!

    Enough about me... I read that the Studio 14 build quality is average. Most reviews I have read have been pretty positive. For the price, you can't beat it.

    wow
    i think i might cancel my order in that case.
    I am a tourist here and i am leaving on 22nd august.
    Even though Dell changed my Delivery option from "7 day Delivery" to "Next day delivery" for free, the estimated date is still 25th august.

    If it doesnt ship by mid-next week then i will cancel the order and start searching again....grrrrr....

    I didn't mean to rain on your parade. Just getting you used to the endless charade from the joke that we call Dell Customer Care. I crabbed at them but they didn't do anything. Regardless of when I get my computer, I drafted a letter calling out their dishonesty.

    I know but i dont wanna take any chances.
    I would rather get an expensive laptop than get none at all.
