    I've been checking this last week everyday for my studio 15's status. It's been in production until now with an estimated delivery date of 6/11.
    I checked today and it's changed to shipped with an estimated delivery date of 6/6, tomorrow.

    Good obviously but the Shipped Date: 6/5/2009 menas it just shipped today.. how can it arrive tomorrow?

    Depends on where it was shipped from/to. Most Dell Laptops sold in the US ship from Tennessee.

    The original ship dates are usually pretty conservative. I think all of the computers I have ordered from Dell have shipped before the estimated ship date.

    Agreed with JTOverath, I have never had a Dell shipped to me that didn't arrive typically a week before the original date.

    With regards to shipping to you in a day; that's highly possible - but it depends on where it is shipping from and to. There may just be one link in the chain, but if there are several then you may be scuppered.

    Have you been sent the delivery link yet? Dell don't deliver them to your door, they ship them to a central spot and then distribute via different courier services. Once it's with them you normally get a link to allow you to track further.
