    A few have been sent out. 1721's seem to ship before the 1720's, but all you can do is be patient.

    Haven't seen many people order any Yellow ones, yet they seem to not be shipping as well :( I have seen at least a couple people with red moving through the stages at least. Hang in there!

    Cadman,

    As of 10 min ago I was still in boxing...... I never heard testing or Kitting whatever that is... I'm just hoping they didn't throw all the components in a box and then I have to wait a week for them to assemble it.... I hope to hear SHIPPED real soon.

    yep, I went from boxing to pre-production and back to production, all in about a day. The csr I spoke with states the red lids are still delayed. Another csr I spoke with immediately afterward stated it was the cpu. I like to put myself thru various states of torture while I wait for this thing to ship. The moral of the story is this: It's anyones guess ;)
    1721 red, 2.2ghz, 2 gb ram, high res 17 in screen, blue tooth, webcam and all the other goodies I will probly never see.
    ord 7/23
    esd 8/6

    esd 9/5
