    have you checked the traffic report? they shut down the highway that your delivery truck is on and he's using the peanuts in your box and his sweaty t-shirt to make a pillow because he will have to camp out in the truck tonight.

    some people will disagree but fedex sucks. they are 0/4 with me on next day delivery. 1 time it was delivered 2 days, the other 3 times it took 3 days and they never gave me refund or partial refund. they had same performance with company i worked at the time. ups i would say has 90%+ on time delivery. and when they were late, it would be next day. that is good delivery service if you ask me. :D

    LOL I wish my laptop is PORTABLE enough so i could sit out on the porch, but its not, the hinge is BROKEN so the screen wont stay up and the battery is messed up it wont hold a charge.. Thats why i got a new laptop and i just wanted to get a REALLY nice nice nice one so i picked the XPS M1530..

    I just worried that i wont hear the Fedex truck..

    Just use it. If the battery stops holding a charge, call in the first year and get a new one.

    The other option is to use it without the battery connected until you go to bed, then throw the battery in and let it charge overnight.
