    Hi folks, I have a Dell laptop on order that has an estimated ship date of 2/5 (yesterday) according to the order. I checked the order status a couple of days ago and it was in the "build" stage, yesterday morning I checked again and it was in the "testing" stage. I just checked again and it still says it's in the testing stage. Is that unusual? I thought once it goes into production it goes very quickly.

    I wouldn't worry about it unless it stays there for an extended period of time. They're probably just slow to update it

    or they started their tests and their work day finished. And they only want 1 person working on each system. My very first m1330 was in testing for like 2 days. Sad though because that one had a TON of problems. I dunno what they were testing.

    Don't worry--it will get to you when it gets to you ;)

    Start getting antsy when it ships; not before :D
