Latest on the XPS M1330 Notebook

I know that many of you have been waiting for an update on the status of the XPS M1330 notebook, and I wanted to take a few minutes to share where we are. While we have begun shipping on a limited basis, we expect to begin large-scale production and to ship systems in all regions beginning this week.

As Lionel mentioned in a previous update, there are some components like the LED display that may add time to an estimated ship date.

Dell provides estimated ship dates using many factors, including the time it takes to ramp production on a new product in our factories worldwide. We use that time to rigorously test our global sales, manufacturing and quality processes and to deal with issues that inevitably come up when we start to build new products in large quantities in our factories. What do I mean by issues? Things like part shortages, technical glitches, simple cosmetic issues, and other unanticipated issues that can arise when you start mass production.

One of the simplest and most reliable ways to monitor the progress of your order is by checking My Order Status on Dell.com.

For existing orders, our teams are doing everything they can to meet the estimated ship dates you were quoted at the time your order was placed. We will contact customers on a case by case basis if their particular orders will experience further delay.

Moving forward, Lionel will use the blog to provide updates on several things related to the XPS M1330. He'll continue to work with members of my team to understand the latest developments and will share them here.

Before signing off, I wanted to thank all of our XPS M1330 customers for your business. In the meantime, we appreciate your patience.



let the slating begin... ;-)

 

Why did I even read that crap ?

 

wow im so excited!! NOT!
this is such a classic response with NO valuable information in it.

 

Good, so I should receive my order somewhere around July 14th to the 20th.






Oh wait.

 

Its a semi-generic response to the problem. We are all aware of the delays, and most of us are still patiently waiting for our systems. I bet every CS phone rep is going to have this script on thier desk verbatim for the M1330 callers until a new update comes out.

Basically the blog didnt reveal anything we didnt already know or speculated already in this forum over the past few weeks.

I would comment here again... but I already typed out all what I had to say about the blog in the other thread.
